Serpentine Cinema CINACT - Hannah Sawtell

Tickets £6/£5

Serpentine Cinema: CINACT is a series of monthly artists' film screenings and events at The Gate cinema in Notting Hill. CINACT takes its name from American artist Henry Flynt's 2007 cinema manifesto. Sawtell has made a new work Entroludes 1-6 specifically for this presentation and the context of the cinema.

Hannah Sawtell's work scrutinises the excess of physical and media based production through objects, text and films. By using generic images and found footage from the digital realm and by setting up semi-archival systems of retrieval, she examines what Levi-Strauss termed 'Entropology'. In doing this she proposes a trajectory that forces a fragile equanimity, as it attempts to reconcile the ‘human’ with the culture of disintegration and over-proliferation.

Sawtell's videos and installations investigate the ways in which form and image are disseminated, interpreted and used. Interrogating how we categorize and respond to the barrage of homogenous and repeated imagery they generate relationships between objects, creating playful but critical dialectical encounters.

Serpentine Cinema CINACT - Melvin Moti

Serpentine Cinema CINACT - Melvin Moti
Saturday 7 March, 1.45pm

With a special screening of a new film by Amy Granat

Serpentine Cinema: CINACT is a series of monthly artists’ film screenings and events at The Gate cinema in Notting Hill. CINACT takes its name from American artist Henry Flynt’s 2007 cinema manifesto. Each programme focuses on two artists who investigate and experiment with the medium of cinema. Amy Granat will premier two new films and we are delighted that Melvin Moti will be joining us to screen The Prisoner’s Cinema.

The Prisoner’s Cinema (2008, 35mm), is named after the term used for visions of coloured lights and abstract patterns reportedly seen by prisoners or pilots after long stretches of visual deprivation. Moti’s protracted, mesmerizing film explores this phenomenon with the projection of subtly changing light filtered through a stained-glass window, while a scientist’s voice narrates the visions she experienced after many hours in a darkened room.

Melvin Moti, born in Rotterdam in 1977, studied at the Academie Voor Beeldende Vorming in Tilburg from 1995 to 1999 and worked at De Ateliers in Amsterdam from 1999 to 2001, where he now teaches. In 2006 he received the Charlotte Köhler Prijs and the J.C. van Lanschot Prijs. His works have been shown at the Frac Champagne in Reims, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, the Kunstverein Köln and elsewhere. He recently participated in the 5th Berlin Biennale. He lives in Rotterdam.

Serpentine Cinema: CINACT: Dara Birnbaum

Dara Birnbaum presents Technology/Transformation: Wonder Woman (1978-79)

Dara Birnbaum is known for using video to reconstruct television imagery using as material such archetypal formats as quizzes, soap operas, and sports programmes. Her techniques involve the repetition of images and interruption of flow with text and music.

Her best known work ‘Technology/Transformation: Wonder Woman’ was made by appropriating imagery from the 1970s TV series Wonder Woman. Through this process Birnbaum isolates and repeats the moment of the "real" woman's symbolic transformation into super-hero.
