'The Young and Evil' on www.tank.tv
Curated by Stuart Comer

14th July 2008 - 21st September 2008

The digital glow of the internet has largely replaced the dark space of the cinema as the site where furtive desires are first expressed and encountered on flickering screens. Consequently, the web continues to evolve into an uncanny hybrid of personal longing and collective interaction where configurations of watching and being watched take on radically new form. Reconsidering the historical contours and shifting relationships of sex and community in the digital age, a range of artists has been invited to select two works: one contemporary video shown to be shown online, and one historical film to be screened in the cinema. Selectors include Andrea Geyer, William E Jones, Carlos Motta, Emily Roysdon, Akram Zaatari, Daria Martin, Karol Radziszewski and Bruce Yonemoto.
The programme derives its title from The Young and
Evil, a scandalous exposé of subcultures in Greenwich Village written
by Charles Henri Ford and Parker Tyler in 1932. It was banned in the
United States and England and was published by the Obelisk Press in
Paris in 1933.
