John Latham: Films 1960-1971LUX comes back from vacation with a new DVD presented in collaboration with the Lisson Gallery. John Latham: Films 1960-1971 collects all the films made by the british multifaceted artist in the period, exploring his concepts of 'time-base' and 'structure in events'. The DVD will be officially launched at Whitechapel Gallery on 4th September, after a specially-commissioned performance by the sound artist David Toop coinciding with the end of the gallery's show 'John Latham: Anarchive'. The works included in this compilation are Unclassified Material (1960), Unedited Material from the Star (1960), Talk Mr Bard (1961), Speak (1962), Encyclopedia Britannica (1971) and Erth (1971). The DVD comes with many extra features, including audio commentaries, and film documentation of other Latham projects and performances, and a booklet with a specially commissioned essay on Latham’s films by Mark Webber. Latham's work was the subject of an exhibiton last year at online gallery tank.tv. PAL, multizone, 20 GBP.

I've seen "Talk Mr Bard" at Artissima Turin, and I found it astonishing. Considering I was 2 years old, then.
Where coukd I buy it?
