  • tank tv: January-February 2010

    By on

    Fragmentarium (Laetitita Benat, 2008)Online gallery tank.tv beings the new year's programme with the work of Laetitia Benat (Villeurbanne, 1971), a Paris-based artist whose work revolves around photography, video, drawing and also strange figurines in ceramic.. Benat uses the simplest of video techniques to negotiate and toy with the way in which emotion and suspense are implied by images. Simple sounds, shots, sequences and subjects are used to examine the way in which the viewer is triggered into feeling. Allowing the viewer to extrapolate story and feeling from so little Benat's work examines the very building blocks of filmmaking and will be online until the 31st January.

    In February tank.tv will be exhibiting a pair of videos from Paul McCarthy. Family Tyranny & Cultural Soup were cut from two days of taped performance at a community television studio in 1987. Featuring McCarthy's fellow artist Mike Kelley, these videos are filled with the disturbing images of familial horror and stomach turning abjection that characterise the artist's renowned body of work. Both works will be available on www.tank.tv from the 1st - 28th February.

    This show is held in conjunction with a screening of McCarthy's Contemporary Cure All and F-Fort on the 6th February at 7pm at Tate Modern's Starr Auditorium.

  • tank tv: Ben Callaway 4th-24th November 2009

    By on

    Ben Callaway (Down There, 2005)'“Ben Callaway’s works are constructed from anonymous, secondary footage taken from a diverse range of documentary, educational, promotional or amateur videos. Ben Callaway stresses the materiality of the medium through different manipulations of the source material: the images are dissolved by repeated analogue transfers, and then reconstructed in digital format, while their speed is also radically altered throughout the process.' Miguel Wandschneider, Curator, Culturgest, Lisbon.
    Ben Callaway’s technique results in work that is as visually rich as it is intriguing. Narrative and image break down as the artist transfers and attacks the material of video in order to create uneasy structures and a complex juxtaposition of form and content.

    The online exhibition includes the works Tampa, K, Rigadoon, Lufthansa, Guatiza and Thanamine.

    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.

    Now Showing: Florence Lazar
    12th August - 1st September 2009
    tank.tv is pleased to present a selection of work by Florence Lazar.

    Since the late 1990’s, Florence Lazar has been making films about the situation in Former-Yugoslavia.

    The events in the region have led her to explore questions of identity and politics in a post-conflict situation. Mostly motionless, her camera stresses the presence of the artist which is characterised by her absence of verbal or physical intervention. Similar to that of a mute interlocuter, Lazar’s position creates a space that belongs to the people she films, a space that is shaped by their testimonies on war, politics and identity.

    Florence Lazar was born in 1966 and studied at the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris where she lives and works. She has exhibited widely internationally and in 2007 her work was included in Vide´o et apre`s, Centre Pompidou, Paris
