> EXPERIMENTS IN MOVING IMAGE
> Sunday 25 January - Saturday 31 January 2004
> 
> Experiments in Moving Image is a major retrospective of experimental
> expanded and single-screen film, video and digital moving-image by artists
> from the late 1960's to date. An intensive chronological programme over
> seven days, the show provides a rare opportunity to view a large body of
> rich and diverse work, and a history of endeavour spanning a forty-year
> period. It includes artists' who have pushed the boundaries of concept,
> medium and audience reception, or have experimented with illusion and
> representation often within the critical context of materialist and
> anti-narrative theories.
> 
> The programme begins with films by Peter Gidal, Malcolm Le Grice and Annabel
> Nicolson, and the seminal televisual and video work of David Hall. These
> artists broke new ground with their work, and have been crucial to the
> cultivation of subsequent artists practice through the London Filmmakers
> Coop, London Video Arts, Art Schools and Universities. Autobiography and
> performance inside or outside the screen have been central to many artists'
> works, such as with Kate Meynell and Cate Elwes who have worked with video
> since the mid to late eighties. Jayne Parker, Sarah Pucill, Lis Rhodes and
> Nina Danino explore notions of iconography, meaning and representation
> within and underlying the image. Guy Sherwin, Jo Millet, Rob Gawthrop,
> Hannah O'Shea and Tina Keane will show work that in some cases includes
> performance, but which plays with the pure notions of film, sound, signal,
> video, to expand the projection outside the single-screen space.
> 
> Under-explored in critical texts as a determinant on the practice,
> technological experiment is visible in many of the artworks, from David
> Larcher's extraordinarily beautiful imagistic processing, the filmic
> textuality of Annabel Nicolsons' Frames, and through the colour layering and
> painterly sumptuousness of Malcolm Le Grice's expanded works Threshold and
> Berlin Horse, to his more recent work The Cyclops Cycle. The pure video and
> electronic monitor pieces of Stephen Partridge, Marceline Mori, David
> Critchley and David Hall are exhibited throughout the show, within the
> University of Westminster's Regent Street Campus foyer.
> 
> Artists' endeavour with cinema, moving-image and spectacle is historically
> vibrant and diverse and continues to date. The original Lumiere Cinema at
> the University of Westminster, Regent Street, where in 1896 Louis Lumiere
> gave his first public demonstration of the then revolutionary moving-image
> in the U.K, is an apt context for a review of these pioneering artworks.
>
