    Tickets £6/£5

    Dara Birnbaum presents  Technology/Transformation: Wonder Woman (1978-79)

    Dara Birnbaum is known for using video to reconstruct television imagery using as material such archetypal formats as quizzes, soap operas, and sports programmes. Her techniques involve the repetition of images and interruption of flow with text and music.

    Her best known work ‘Technology/Transformation: Wonder Woman’ was made by appropriating imagery from the 1970s TV series Wonder Woman. Through this process Birnbaum isolates and repeats the moment of the "real" woman's symbolic transformation into super-hero.  

    Serpentine Cinema : CINACT is a series of monthly artists’ films  screenings and events at The Gate cinema in Notting Hill. CINACT is named after the title of American artist Henry Flynt’s 2007 cinema manifesto. Each programme focuses on artists who investigate and experiment with the medium of cinema. Tickets available in person at the cinema, on 0871 704 2058 or www.picturehouses.co.uk

  • Andrew Noren: What the Light Was Like

    By on

    Time Being Andrew Noren (b. 1943, Santa Fe, New Mexico) has been making moving image art for over forty years, and in that time he has become one of the cinema’s master practitioners in the manipulation of light and shadow. His films combine those elements into a haunting metaphysics of luminosity and somber darkness, a visual music of delicacy and powerful kinesis, revealing and reveling in the phantasmal nature of appearances. This retrospective, comprising six works in five programs, opens with Charmed Particles, which was the closing film of Noren’s 1981 MoMA retrospective, Of Light and Texture. All films are directed by Noren and from the U.S.

  • Tank tv: Sebastian Buerkner 23rd September - 13th October 2009

    By on

    Identity Slice (Sebastian Buerkner)tank.tv: Sebastian Buerkner
    23rd September - 13th October 2009

    “Buerkner is one of the most innovative artists working with animation today.”- The Showroom

    tank.tv is pleased to exhibit a solo show from Sebastian Buerkner which will transform www.tank.tv and present fourteen of his works.

    Sebastian Buerkner's animations offer poly-sensorial experiences, subtly set in situations at the edge of dreaming and waking. His sophisticated audio-visual language which encorporates controlled muddles of strobe lights, flashy colours and vectorial shapes engage forensically with ideas of time, space, speed, colour and weight.

    Sebastian Buerkner studied painting in Germany before moving to London to complete an MA at Chelsea College of Art & Design in 2002, where he was awarded a Fellowship Residency the following year. His work has been exhibited in several group and solo shows internationally including at Tramway in February 2009 and in the NKV Wiesbaden in March 2009. Since 2004 his practice has shifted exclusively to animation. He has had solo exhibitions in London including LUX at Lounge Gallery in 2006, the Whitechapel Project Space in 2007 and The Showroom in 2008.

    Sebastian’s work will be shown on www.tank.tv from the 23rd September - 13th October 2009.

    The veterans from Vienna, Lisl Ponger and Tim Sharp, and the Finnish filmmaker Sami van Ingen exhibit work that they have made from amateur footage; revealing hidden histories and forgotten fantasies.

    AVANT09: AVANT goes AMATEUR is a collaboration between the Värmland Region’s Centres for Film and Dance, Broby Grafiska, The Museum of Contemporary Art in Kristinehamn, Film Studies at Karlstad University and the Filmform foundation.

  • Directors Lounge: Daniel Cockburn

    Daniel Cockburn often appears in his own films. He is not playing himself, but he enacts the main character of his script. "I am interested in this blank face without emotions. It becomes a projection surface for anything that happens in the film, like the Kuleshov Effect". The early Russian filmmaker proved that the same head-shot can express fear, anger or sadness depending on the adjunct edits in the film and he thus had a strong influence on Eisenstein's theory of montage. Later, the emotionless poker face of Buster Keaton was celebrated as the beginning point of modern film acting. ­ "And I decided I could do that myself; I didn't need an actor to make the kinds of films I wanted to make," says Cockburn, and he consequently started to explore his own ways of filmmaking.

  • FNC Lab: Sines and Wonders

    By on
    SATURDAY OCTOBER 10TH, 11PM
    at the Agora Hydro-Québec du Coeur des Sciences de l'UQÀM- 175 President Kennedy (Montreal)

    SINES AND WONDERS -
    audio and visual performances by: Nicole Lizée, Lynne Trépannier, Patti Schmidt, Double Negative, Kara Blake

    If the Doctor Who theme music sent you running behind the sofa as a child, you are already familiar with the work of Delia Derbyshire. An innovator in sound creation and manipulation during the 1960s, Derbyshire has emerged as a singular pioneer in the field of electronic music. In conjunction with the Montréal première of The Delian Mode, this event presents a night of sound and image in the spirit of Derbyshire’s dedication to forging new frontiers through experimentation.

    Echoing Derbyshire’s atypical approach to audio, Montreal-based composer Nicole Lizée, creates orchestral arrangements using unorthodox instrumentation such as karaoke tapes, video game consoles and turntables. For this special event, Lizée will splice together analog and digital techniques in a unique live ensemble performance.

    Lynne Trépanier, frontwoman of Montréal’s Lesbians on Ecstasy, explores sonic territory as a sound recordist and recently as sound designer for The Delian Mode. Lynne T, on DJ duty with Patti Schmidt (the familiar voice behind CBC’s Brave New Waves) will trace a trajectory of electronic music from the early 1960’s to today.

    Celluloid aberrations and visual amusements will be concocted by The Delian Mode director Kara Blake in collaboration with Montréal’s Double Negative Collective.”

    Sines and Wonders is presented by the Festival du nouveau cinema (FNC Lab) in partnership with Vidéographe
