	3 to the power of 3:2

	BABETTE MANGOLTE, FRANK SAINSBURY, JIMMY ROBERT

	

	The second in this series of artists’ film and video screenings presents two

	films by Babette Mangolte on the individual and the social in suburban

	California, with a fascinating documentary on a modernist housing project by

	Frank Sainsbury and new work by Jimmy Robert: two exquisite super8 films and

	two specially conceived live performances. The programme tracks questions

	about community and dwelling spaces, about expression, personal freedom and

	social control that are ultimately articulated as a new perspective on the

	auditorium itself.

	

	

	Programme

	

	KENSAL HOUSE, Frank Sainsbury, UK 1937, 16mm, 11mins

	Sponsored by the Gas Council, this is a film record of Kensal House, an

	'experimental', modernist housing complex built as part of the

	slum-clearance scheme in the mid-thirties. It describes a radical cohesion

	between private accommodation and public areas; a nursery for residents'

	children and space to grow plants and vegetables.

	

	THERE? WHERE?, Babette Mangolte, US 1979, 16mm, 9mins

	Babette Mangolte has called this film an essay on displacement. Brilliantly

	shot, her excursion to the featureless suburbs of Southern California is

	part documentary, part anti-documentary, a question about human beings and

	the organisation of (social) space.

	

	EMBERS, Jimmy Robert, UK 2003, super8, silent, 6 1/2mins

	The intimate and the everyday, its personal record and poetic construction

	invest /Embers /with an extraordinary sense of magic, between exquisite

	colour and family ties.

	

	OBJECT, Jimmy Robert, 2004, performance

	A paper bag and quotes from Proust's "La Captive".

	

	VISIBLE CITIES, Babette Mangolte, US 1991, 16mm, 31mins

	A unique assay through new-build gated communities in suburban California as

	two women search for a home, Visible Cities examines chance and order in the

	landscape, nature and nurture, the construction and the inadequacy of

	somebody else's ideal home.

	

	BEAU GESTE, Jimmy Robert, UK/Holland 2004, super8, silent, 4mins

	Semi-staged actions occurring within domestic spaces become epic and tender

	icons, imbued with the romantic, with love.

	

	MY AFFECTION, Jimmy Robert, UK/Holland 2004, performance

	A super8 projector and a living screen.
