  • Canyon Cinema 50: Love, Light & Lyrical Eroticism

    1967 was the year that the Canyon Cinema Co-op was born in San Francisco.

  • Contact: Pairs - Amy Dickson / Jamie Jenkinson

    Amy Dickson and Jamie Jenkinson have both made substantial series of video works with mobile phones, usually with single takes that suggest an intuitive and spontaneous approach to shooting - a mode which they consider intrinsic to their medium. They resist reshooting and post-production. Hence their work foregrounds and promotes the act of looking, embracing a certain amount of wandering and the potential for 'errors'.
