    Brighton-based artist and film-maker Jeff Keen is one of the great figures of the British postwar avant-garde. Keen's work embodies a wild spirit of anarchic play, a fascination with surrealism, and a love of popular culture. A year-long retrospective in 2011/12 of Keen's work will take place throughout Brighton & Hove. The retrospective will be launched with the event Exploring Jeff Keen, a day of presentations, screenings and discussion on Keen’s work and its curation. Speakers include Frank Gray (Cinecity and Screen Archive South East), Stella Keen (Jeff Keen's daughter), William Fowler (Curator,  Artists’ Moving Image, BFI) and Curators Jenny Lund and Suzie Plumb of Brighton Museum & Art Gallery.

    Tickets are free but please reserve as space is limited. Please reserve a place by calling Brighton Museum & Art Gallery events on 03000 290902.

  • Unconscious Archives #3

    Etienne’s Hand (Richard Touhy, 2011)Unconscious Archives #3
    Tuesday 15th November , 20-22:30h
    no.w.here
    First Floor, 316-318 Bethnal Green Road, London E2 OAG
    Presented by no.w.here and OtherFilm

    Unconscious Archives is a bimonthly series which seeks to deepen the context between sound and dark, silence and light. Traversing noise core and vision spectacle, each UA brings together expanded cinema and sonic propositions from London and afar.

    This UA features a very special live film performance by Dirk de Bruyn, screenings from Richard Tuohy, and sound performances from Londoners Tim Goldie and Mandlebrot.

    1. Dirk De Bruyn - Australia
    Retina reflux from Dirk de Bruyn’s extensive film catalogue from the last 30 odd years. De Bruyn selects 16mm hand stamped, bitten, scratched and scathed films for reformat and regeneration in his multi projector, shadowy torchlight expanded cinema + concrete noise performances.

    "My hand-drawn direct work remains my regurgitated creative life-blood, continually re-inscribed with the follies and hesitations of my everyday life. It speaks to me of things I have never said. It survives viscerally outside the outside. It impacts my body before thought floods in."

    2. Richard Tuohy - Australia - Nanolab
    Artist filmmakers Richard Tuohy and Diane Barrie run Nanolab, a simply incredible super 8 hand processing and telecine lab in Victoria, Australia. Richard presents some rarely seen films which explode the chemical, physical and metabolic processes that define the film laboratory.

    - Etienne’s Hand (16mm; B/W; 13 minutes; Sound; 2011)
    A movement study of a restless hand. Made from one five second shot. Sound constructed from an old French folk tune played on a hand cranked music box.

    - Screen tone (3 x 16mm projectors; B/W; 10 minutes; Sound; 2011)
    Half-tone dot ‘screens’ intended for use as shadings and tones in Manga comic illustrations have here been ‘photogrammed’ directly onto raw 16mm film stock.  A flicker collage of these dots has then been created using a 16mm film printer.  The sounds heard are those that the dots themselves produce as they pass the optical sound head of the 16mm projector.  This is a camera-less and sound-recorder-less film!

    Nazli Dinçel has been influenced by Turkish, Swiss and American cultures. Her work reflects her experiences of growing up between these locations. Dinçel works with film to denote upon the body, gender, nature, immigration, and dislocation in juxtaposition with their material: texture, color and the sustainability of emulsion.   Nazli Dinçel is currently pursuing her MFA in film at the San Francisco Art Institute. She received her BFA with Honors from UW-Milwaukee. She was awarded a Kodak film grant in 2009. Her works have been exhibited in the USA at the Minute Gallery, the Pink House, Center and the UWM Union Theatre.

  • Conversations at the Edge: Gregory Markopoulos' Eniaios II

    By on

    ENIAIOS II (Gregory Markopoulos, 1949-1991)Conversations at the Edge: Gregory Markopoulos' Eniaios II
    Thursday, November 3, 18h
    Gene Siskel Film Center
    164 N. State, Chicago, IL, USA

    Remembered as the “supreme erotic poet” of the American avant-garde, Gregory Markopoulos spent decades creating his monumental film Eniaios, an eighty-hour composition of twenty-two cycles. Eniaios (meaning “unity” or “uniqueness”) was originally conceived for screening at Temenos, Markopolous’s open-air theater in the hills overlooking Lyssaraia, Greece. Silent yet sensuous, the film journeys through a host of imagery, including pulses of white light, passages of black, fragments of earlier works, and images of sacred places. Markopoulos died before Eniaios could be printed and his partner, filmmaker Robert Beavers, has spent the last two decades restoring the work. Only six of the twenty-two film orders have been printed thus far. Tonight’s screening of Eniaios II — the second cycle in the piece and an epic film in its own right — affords a rare opportunity to view Markopoulos’s magnum opus in the making. Gregory Markopoulos, 1949-1991, Greece/USA, 16mm, 125 min plus discussion.

    Eniaios VI – VIII will premiere June 29 – July 1, 2012 at the Temenos in Lyssarea (Arcadia) Greece.  For more info, visit: www.the-temenos.org.

  • Michal Brzezinski: Fake Art

    By on

    Michal Brzezinski: Fake ArtMichal Brzezinski: Fake Art
    10 November – 11 December 2011
    Opening: November 10, 2011 , 18h (2nd floor)
    BWA SOKÓL Gallery of Contemporary Art in Nowy Sacz
    33-300 Nowy Sacz, ul. Kosciuszki 34, Poland

    Michal Brzezinski is an artist faithful to the medium of video, who has been striving for a decade to restore the art of video to the position of experimental art and who has negated attempts at adapting and appropriating it to the role imposed by the context of the traditional visual arts. He attempts to discover new elements both in the montage and in visual aesthetics of this medium. The present exhibition constitutes another breakthrough in his creative output which has generated many a controversy so far. Since these controversies are not political but aesthetic in nature, his works are a far cry from scandal-seeking and populism. However, in the artistic context, this show is truly ‘volcanic’ and, following subsequent eruptions of Brzezinski’s ideas, the intellectual landscape is swept off the surface and the defining of a new aesthetic space commences.
