    South London Gallery
    65 Peckham Road, London, SE5 8UH

    The South London Gallery presents the first London solo project by German artist Susanne Bürner. This new video work is shown as a special evening event (Thursday 10 December 2009, 7-9pm) accentuating its performative aspects following which it will be on show until 18 December 2009.

    LEAVES reveals an empty stage alluding to an anticipated action. using elements of cinematographic language such as long shot sequences and depth of field, the film portrays the sensation of prolonged suspense. LEAVES presents a meadow surrounded by trees as a pre-defined location of action in which nothing is performed. In this way the set becomes the negative image of the missing action.

  • La Casa Encendida: Film ist 13, a girl & a gun

    By on

    Film ist: a girl & a gun (Gustav Deutsch, 2009)Film Ist, a girl & a gun
    by Gustav Deutsch. Austria/Germany 2009. 93 min
    at La Casa Encendida
    Every Tuesday in December, 20h
    Ronda Valencia, 2, Madrid

    FILM IST. a girl & a gun is a film drama in 5 acts about one of the oldest topics in cinematography and in the history of mankind: the confrontation of the sexes. From the Genesis of the universe and the world by collaboration and confrontation of the gods of creation, to the innocent cohabitation of men and women in the state of Paradise, to desire, temptation, love, jealousy, and hate between the sexes under the sign of Eros, to the escalation and violent repression and exploitation of the sexes in war and pornography reflected in Thanatos’ mirror, over to the solutions and enlightenment offered by religion and politics in the dialog of Symposium, film fragments from the first four and a half centuries of cinematography were researched and reassembled into sequence of pictures and stories and thereby given new meaning as to their original content.

  • Pleasure Dome: Daniel Cockburn

    Pleasure Dome presents:
    You Are In A Maze Of Twisty Little Passages, All Different
    Daniel Cockburn In Person
    & Catalogue Launch
    Saturday, December 5, 8pm $8/ 5 members

    Latvian House, 491 College St.
    Toronto Ontario

    Fresh from a six-month DAAD residency in Berlin and a number of screenings in Europe and Asia, Daniel Cockburn returns to Toronto with a curated program of his films and videos and the Toronto launch of a new publication about his work. Cockburn plays at the intersection of avant-garde and narrative cinema. Bringing together innovative storytelling strategies with structuralist experimentation, he breaks open day-to-day reality to reveal the strange codes beneath. What if time ran backwards? What if everything in the world doubled in size? Self-reflexive to the point of neurosis, Cockburn is fascinated with how images and words can illuminate the structures and rhythms of our lives.

    Underground New York (Gideon Bachmann, 1967)Underground New York
    New York Gershwin Hotel
    Sunday 6 December 2009

    In the 1960s, filmmakers investigated new forms of production in dialogue with radical shifts in art, music, performance and popular culture. Following the example of the Beats, the counterculture was alive with protest, freedom of expression and the breaking of taboos, and from the Film-Makers’ Coop to Andy Warhol’s Factory, portable 16mm cameras were bringing a whole new way of seeing to the cinema screen. These heady days of “underground film” were captured by Gideon Bachmann in a spirited broadcast for German television. Rarely seen today, it is one of the few surviving documents to show aspects of New York’s independent film culture during this exhilarating period.

  • FMAB in NYC December 3rd

    By on

    Please join us at Niagara, 7th and Avenue A in New York City this thursday, Dec. 3rd at 9 p.m. for a special exhibition called '25p'.

    ‘25p’ uses a concept of film-making (more specifically found-film material and old super8) as a key to understanding art. The underlying concept of the show is based upon establishing a personal connection and dialogue with the visitor, by taking a closer look at the element of narration in art and how it interacts with the narratives of the other pieces to make a bigger story (the exhibition as a whole.)

    The show takes 25 positions of drawing, painting and video works, examining the visual (and non-visual) elements making up each piece, in a way that the viewer can consider for themselves what the complete narrative is.
