Analogue Ensemble: Divisions of the Screen

By Cathy Rogers on Mon, 21/05/2018 - 07:07

Nicky Hamlyn and Simon Payne present a programme of single-screen and expanded films and videos that explore colour field abstraction, grids, lines, shadows, holes and frames-within-frames that are often underpinned by repetitive, almost musical structuring. Payne's digital video works involve elementary transitions and alternating graphic forms that create spatial depths within the screen but also bounce back to affect the environment in which they're shown.
Dates:
Thursday, May 24, 2018 - 19:30 to 21:30
Venue:
Studio 3 Gallery, Jarman Building, School of Arts, University of Kent - Canterbury, United Kingdom
Contact: Pairs - Jennifer Nightingale and Simon Payne

By Marcos Ortega on Mon, 12/06/2017 - 12:23

Jennifer Nightingale’s films broadly fall into two categories of ‘pinhole films’ and ‘knitting films’. The pinhole films that she has selected to show here include a new two-screen configuration of West Window, East Window. Other films include pieces from her Cornish Knitting Pattern series, which document the coastal locations where the knitting patterns derive from. The patterns themselves dictate editing decisions.

VIDEO – (Im)materialists

By Marcos Ortega on Tue, 04/10/2016 - 09:52

Presented by Evelyn Yard, VIDEO is a screening event highlighting the specific use of video by contemporary artists. The programme focuses less on the polished "moving-image" production, and more on experimentation and the use of more accessible popular video technologies. The screenings will highlight areas where video has been used for its specific characteristics, opening up the rising debate of medium specificity in and around ideas of post-media hybridisation.

Kurt Kren: Structural Films - Screening and Book Launch

By Marcos Ortega on Tue, 10/05/2016 - 12:31

Kurt Kren was a vital figure in Austrian avant-garde cinema of the post-war period. His structural films, often shot frame-by-frame following elaborately pre-scored charts and diagrams, have influenced filmmakers for decades, even as Kren himself has remained a nomadic and obscure public figure. Kurt Kren: Structural Films, edited by Nicky Hamlyn, Simon Payne, and A. L. Rees, brings together interviews with Kren, film scores, and classic out-of-print essays alongside the reflections of contemporary academics and filmmakers, to add much-needed critical discussion of Kren’s legacy. Taken together, the collection challenges the canonical view of Kren that ignores his underground lineage and powerful, lyrical imagery.

The Bleeping Light: Explorative Sensoriums In Experimental Film & Video

By Marcos Ortega on Sun, 21/09/2014 - 16:08

The Bleeping Light features artists who delve into cracked phenomena and psychological perceptions, synaesthetic slippage and hacked technologies to produce works which inhabit a space between waveform and frame. Included are audiovisual works by sound artists who explore the role of a ‘seeing ear’, and sonic explorations by filmmakers who by the act of performance and intervention derive a sonorous space. Appropriated for single channel presentation many of these works exist in an environment which challenges the flat confines of the screen, and have their origins and inspirations in sound art and performance – this is cinema which speaks directly to the viewer’s synapses. Curated for Off The Page by Sally Golding (OtherFilm, Unconscious Archives).

Feature works by an array of contemporary film, video and sound artists, including Karel Doing, Spatial, Simon Payne, Sculpture, Lynn Loo, Sally Golding, Makino Takashi, Vicky Smith, Ben Gwilliam, Stephen Cornford, Botborg, Anja Dornieden & Juan Gonzales, Hangjun Lee & Chulki Hong, and Joel Stern & Pia Borg.

STIRRINGS STILL

By Marcos Ortega on Sat, 14/08/2010 - 01:50
STIRRINGS STILL
a selection of videos curated by Andrea Monti
on display from August 19th through September 7th
White Box Gallery
329 Broome Street, 10002, New York, USA
organized in collaboration with LUX and Lucca Film Festival 2010
opening reception on Aug 19th 7-9 pm

Presenting videos made by American and European artists, this program relates to Samuel Beckett's last work Stirrings Still at many levels: aesthetically, structurally, emotionally and metaphorically.

The terms stirring and still, which generally refer to movement and stillness, are combined together, a characteristic inherent in all moving-image art works.
Many of the selected videos center around structure and aesthetics, showing the interaction between moving and still elements, and exploring their reciprocal limits.
Other works involve the repetitions and obsessive self-reflection present in Beckett's writing. While others deal with at some level the sentiment of 'the end', the passing of time and our fate of being alone with our own existence.

The works will be displayed as a 70 minute looped program as part of the exhibition Project Birch Forest - Part 2, opening on August 19th through September 7th. (Andrea Monti)
