"Expanded Cinema: Activating the Space of Reception"
Tate Conference, London
April 17th-18th 2009

Central St Martins College of Art and Design (University of the Arts
London) and Tate Modern are pleased to announce an exciting two-day
conference aimed at reconsidering film and video art practices
associated with the international and experimental tradition of
Expanded Cinema.

We invite papers that critically address Expanded Cinema as a
historical category. We hope that this will open up debates surrounding
Expanded Cinema as a model for future practices that challenge cultural
and theoretical assumptions regarding narrative structures and
“cinematic experience.”

Key themes are (but should not be excluded to):

Expanded Cinema and the Context of Reception
• Expanded histories, definitions, early precedents
• Gallery, the cinema, TV
• Multi-screens, projections
Expanded Cinema and Social Space
• Audiences, spectatorship
• Narrative and social space
• Spectacle
Discourses of the Body: Live Performance in Expanded Cinema
• Performance art and film, video and digital technologies
• Interventions, actions and happenings
• Live film and video
Media Environments: Expanded Cinema in the Digital Age
• Installation, time, space structures
• Interactive narratives
• Video, the digital, virtual arts

Please send 300 word abstracts for 20 minute illustrated papers to Dr Duncan White [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]&gt;
at British Artists’ Film and Video Study Collection, Central St Martins
College of Art and Design, 107-109 Charing Cross Road, London WC2H 0DU
