4.00pm PERFORMANCE: Cory Arcangel Cory Arcangel is an internationally-
recognised artist living in New York who works with media technologies - from
old Nintendo consoles to the Google search engine, to Hollywood film. He will
perform for the first time an "interactive" lecture / product demonstration,
introducing the computer code he has written for his recent projects. This
"code" is the engine behind his artwork and can be used to effectively
recreate his artwork yourself. His performance will be followed by a new film

07:30 PM FILM: Cory Arcangel: Untitled Translation Exercise
Language: English
Format: DVD
Cory Arcangel presents 'Untitled Translation Exercise'. Cory often hacks
popular culture moving images, and this project is no
different: the script for the film Dazed and Confused was sent to an
executive assistant outsourcing firm in India where the assistants were
instructed to read the different parts and record their performances. The
results were then painstakingly dubbed with the original motion picture. As a
viewer watches the feature length film, they are struck by the
inconsistencies and manipulations that underline the split between sound and
image in the cinema. A film in English has been dubbed into English, an act
which makes the familiar strange. UTE is by Cory Arcangel, Ben Jones, with
additional production by Miriam Katzeff.
Presented in collaboration with Cory's exhibition at the Northern Gallery for
Contemporary Art, "a couple thousand short films about Glenn Gould"
(commissioned by Film and Video Umbrella in collaboration with Northern
Gallery for Contemporary Art, Spacex Gallery, Exeter and Castlefield Gallery,
Manchester).
Preview: Thursday 6 December 6:00 - 8:00pm 2007
Exhibition dates: 7 December 2007 - 26 January 2008
