Hotel Diaries; Museum Piece
"Hotel Diaries" is an ongoing series of late night recordings made in foreign hotel rooms, all of which relate personal experiences to contemporary world events. Works in the series currently include "Frozen War" (Ireland, 2001), "Museum Piece" (Germany, 2004) and "Throwing Stones" (Switzerland, 2004). They can be shown individually or as a chronological group.

Glenn Webb
Be Mine
11 mins. Video. Colour. Sound
Be Mine is an experimental short that deploys numerous simple and child-like activities to allegorize the complexities of adult relations. It is often comic, sometimes sardonic, yet always questions love and the games we play to win it. In this questioning, Be Mine weaves together moving images to form a surrealist "never was."

Mi rage
2 mins. Video. Colour. Sound. 2004.
What happens when moving objects freeze in their course and become a solid which mark the space? We can sort of see the memory of the space, what brings us to build new relations to our surrounding...
Steve Hines
first a right then a left
3 mins. Video. Colour. Sound. 2004
Through the medium of video first a right, then a left presents a narrative based on themes of passion, commitment, time and change. The extremes of love and hate create an intensity of feeling, be it good or bad. In this short film, that intensity is relayed through the notion of being tattooed for a belief, feeling or expression whilst also drawing on cultural or traditional practices. The title itself also plays with the idea of being 'knocked for six'.
Artists Biography
Steve Hines has been exhibiting on a regular basis for almost ten years. He has shown his work nationally and more recently has participated in several international art festivals. With a background in Photography Steve Hines' practice is now firmly rooted in a conceptual approach and as such he works in various mediums. This provides a great deal of liberation and constantly brings forth new challenges. Steve Hines is interested in making minimal, conceptual, work that is often combined with the opposing yet complimentary nature of extremes. Personal experiences and the everyday provide inspiration and material for the creation of work that combines narratives and elements that can affect us all.
Véronique Chance
A Perfect Duplication of Being
11 mins. Video. Colour. Silent. 2004. (Produced for a looped installation piece.)
Rows of identical, amorphous organisms move mechanically back and forth in short, synchronized, repeated, sequences, filling the screen. Limbs become apparent and parts of the same human body are revealed in split multiple, becoming more recognizable, as they continue to move and to transform themselves en mass, with each successive, separate sequence. The work is mesmerizing, providing a matrix and aesthetic seduction of a pulsating and excessive kaleidoscopic patterning of the human body, which demonstrates its mutability, as it performs the ritual of a daily exercise.
Artist Biography
Studied at Manchester polytechnic, Glasgow School of Art and The Royal
College and is currently studying for a PhD in Fine Art by Practice at Goldsmith's
College. Véronique has taught Fine Art at the University of Lincoln
(2000-2003), and is now teaching at Goldsmith's.
