Press release for a new book from KT press:
Catherine Elwes Video Loupe : A collection of Essays by and
about the
videomaker and critic, Catherine Elwes.
Published by KT press, February 2000.
ISBN 0 9536541 0 9 188 pages, 16 col. + 20+ black and white illus.
230x180cm.
Catherine Elwes is a videomaker and critic. She is Director of the
Digital Editing research programme Camberwell College of Arts, London
Institute.
Video Loupe brings together documentation of Catherine Elwes’
performances (1977-1981) and videotapes (1981-2000) with reviews,
interviews and critical essays by the artist published since 1980.
Together the book offers an insight into the relationship between
performance art and video art, its production and reception as well as
the curation and criticism of contemporary work in video during the
1980s and 1990s.
As curator of Women's Images of Men and About Time in 1980, Catherine
Elwes presented women artists’ performance work alongside her own
while developing her concerns in writing in her essay ‘Floating
Femininity’. As her own work developed in video in the 1980s to
video installations in the 1990s, she became more actively involved in
debates around the different forms of video art (from ‘Scratch’ to
‘Deconstruction’) and began to review and interview other video
artists and curate programmes such as the UK/Canadian Video Exchange.
Her essay ‘The Pursuit of the Personal’ identifies an on-going
interest in the (mis)representation of women artists’ concerns; and
in how the personal becomes political in contemporary art. Her
interviews with Nan Hoover; Bill Viola; Jeremy Welsh and Jacqueline
Morreau as well as her reviews and writings on a range of artists from
Mona Hatoum to Stan Douglas; Dryden Goodwin to Rose Finn Kelcey also
mark the shifts in her own concerns as an artist alongside her role as
an avid observer of work in the field as a whole.
Introductory Essays on Catherine Elwes’ writing by Julia Knight
(Loughborough University); and on her videotapes by Lisa Steele (V
tape, Toronto) and Jeremy Welsh (Trondheim University, Norway).
Funded by an Arts Council of England Artists Publication Grant.
