    Serpentine Gallery Park Nights: Keren Cytter
    Friday 31 July 8pm

    Every Friday night this summer, the Serpentine Gallery presents talks, performances, film-screenings and a licensed bar in the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2009 designed by Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa of SANAA, as part of its annual Park Nights programme.

    Berlin-based artist Keren Cytter screens her new film The Great Tale of The Devil's Hill and The Endless Search For Freedom (75min, Digital Video, 2008-2009). Cytter's films are characterised by a non-linear and cyclical logic, her poetic montages of images recalling amateur home movies and video diaries. This distinctly analytical approach to film-making challenges the way in which the strategies and clichés of the media permeate our reality.

    All Park Nights tickets £5/£4
    Available from the Gallery Lobby Desk or Ticketweb: 08700 600 100

  • Tank tv : Jacco Olivier 22nd July - 11th August

    tank tv. Now Showing: Jacco Olivier
    22nd July - 11th August 2009
    tank.tv is pleased to present a showcase of the work of Dutch artist Jacco Olivier.

    These short videos exemplify the dense painterly technique that has come to define Olivier’s work within the realm of moving image and position him somewhere between painter, filmmaker and animator. Each work is 'a slice of life' and the effect on viewing is of a feeling forgotten or a mystery unravelling. By withholding any meaningful narrative Olivier leaves viewers examining their own desire for meaning within these little, emotive pieces which seem like so much flotsam from the artist’s own experience.

    “The images he (Olivier) makes are obviously painterly, their brushwork bold and narrative, their colour-sense superb. Yet the point of painting is that it is framed, that it frames (or freeze-frames) a turning world. By contrast, Olivier’s frames do all of those transitory things we expect of film, so that you’re constantly longing to shout “Stop!”; to be given a moment to appreciate his individual visions. We expect different things of painting and cinema. By running the two together, Olivier shakes the way we see the world.” - Charles Darwent, The Independent on Sunday, 2007.

    Serpentine Cinema: Henry Flynt & Owen Land
    London Gate Cinema
    Sunday 2 August 2009, at 3:30pm

    American conceptual artist, filmmaker, philosopher and avantgarde musician Henry Flynt shows two short videos SHRINE OF THE INSECT and MY PAISLEY EYES (both 2008), alongside DIALOGUES (2009) the new epic by American artist and filmmaker Owen Land (formerly known as George Landow).

    Dialogues
    Owen Land, USA, 2009, 115 mins
    An episodic series of short films informed by the artist's study of folklore, myth, history and the theology of all major religions, including Gnosticism and cabala. With a healthy dose of irony and a proudly irreverent attitude toward all kind of orthodoxies Land readily applies the structure of the Platonic dialogue to explore themes of reincarnation, art criticism, and Tantra. In the filmmaker's own words DIALOGUES "concentrates on the events of Owen Land's life in 1985, when he returned to Los Angeles after spending a year in Tokyo, Fukuoka, and Okinawa, Japan. It was a time for much soul-searching about his relationships with women (and with strippers). There are flashbacks to that very formative period, the 1960s when 'we won the sexual revolution' as one character says. Some of the episodes contain events which are more speculative, or imaginative, than literally real." The film also includes musings about Land's artistic forebears and pastiches of other films, including THE GRADUATE, RED EYE, most of Kenneth Anger's films, and complex allusions to the films of Maya Deren and Stan Brakhage.

    Please note that DIALOGUES is "Rated R: Restricted to audiences with a knowledge of Art History."

    Serpentine Cinema is a series of monthly screenings and events at The Gate in Notting Hill, presented in association with Sketch.

    Live Film! Jack Smith!
    Five Flaming Days in a Rented World

    New Films and Performances - Over 50 International Guests - Superstar Mario Montez Live!

    From October 28- November 1 2009 Arsenal - Institute for Film and Video Art and Hebbel-am-Ufer (HAU) Theater present "LIVE FILM! JACK SMITH! Five Flaming Days in a Rented World", a monumental event that brings together over fifty international artists and scholars to pay homage to the pioneering American underground artist and queer icon Jack Smith twenty years after his death from AIDS.

    Through performances, film and video screenings, installations, concerts, lectures and discussions, LIVE FILM! JACK SMITH! not only offers a variety of perspectives on the gender and genre bending work of Smith, Andy Warhol and fellow '60s avant-gardists, but also situates this work in dialogue with that of a diverse group of international contemporary artists.

    LIVE FILM! JACK SMITH! participants were invited to Berlin in March 2009 for private screenings of the restored copies of Smith's films that were placed in the Arsenal film archive by film restorer Jerry Tartaglia of the Plaster Foundation, the organization founded by performance artist Penny Arcade and critic/scholar Jim Hoberman to save and archive Smith's work after his death. Following extensive discussions about Smith's work and the context of its production, participants have had almost six months to prepare new work for the public festival.

    Special festival guest is the legendary underground Superstar Mario Montez who will be making his first live appearance in over thirty years! With a special star-studded production of Warhol screenwriter Ronald Tavel's play "The Life of Juanita Castro", LIVE FILM! JACK SMITH! will also pay homage to Tavel, who was Smith and Montez's close collaborator and who died unexpectedly after the March screening weekend.

    Participants include: Bini Adamczak, Callie Angell, Penny Arcade, Tim Blue, Nao Bustamante, Christoph Chemin, Eric D. Clark, Tony Conrad, Beatrice Cordua, Douglas Crimp, Martin Dannecker, Vaginal Davis, Diedrich Diederichsen, Jennifer Doyle, Rainald Goetz, Ulrich Gooß, Karola Gramann, Chloe Griffin, Herbert Gschwind, Birgit Hein, Wilhelm Hein, John Edward Heys, Werner Hirsch, Jim Hoberman, Oliver Husain, Ken Jacobs (live Skype appearance), Dominic Johnson, Kinky Justice, Andrew Kerton, Sean Michael Kirk, Jakob Lena Knebl, Michael Krebber, Deirdre Logue, Renate Lorenz, Marie Losier, Guy Maddin, Thomas Meinecke, José Muñoz, Ulrike Ottinger, Uzi Parnes, Phantom/Ghost, Gwenäel Rattke, Juliane Rebentisch, Evelyn Rüsseler, Hans Scheirl, Heide Schlüpmann, Isabell Spengler, Tim Stüttgen, Juan Suárez, Jerry Tartaglia, Amy Taubin, Chris Tedjasukmana, José Teunissen, Ela Troyano, Gordon W. and Klaus Walter.

    Curated by Susanne Sachsse, Marc Siegel, and Stefanie Schulte Strathaus. "LIVE FILM! JACK SMITH! Five Flaming Days in a Rented World" is a co-production by Arsenal Institute for Film and Video Art and Hebbel-am-Ufer (HAU) Theater, funded by Hauptstadtkulturfonds Berlin.

    Light Reading Series 9
    Films By Samantha Rebello
    London Light Reading
    Wednesday 29 July 2009, at 7pm

    Division of the Tissues (Samantha Rebello, 2006)
    Division of the Tissues (Samantha Rebello, 2006)

    Light Reading’s ninth series continues with a screening of films by artist Samantha Rebello as a critical overview of her practice to date. She will be screening some recent work including The Object Which Thinks Us: OBJECT 1 (2007), In Suspension (2008), Division of the Tissues (2006) and The Surface of Residual Matter [sound by Angharad Davies](2006). She will also screen Outer Casings of A Few Small Creatures (2004) as well as some work in progress.

    Samantha Rebello’s work demonstrates a prolonged exploration and interest in the composition of sound and image. Her work deals with the materiality of the filmic subject, its surfaces and tangibility, and through the friction and merging of the two (sound and image) reveals the links between them.

    ping pong presents, screen-play

    Sunday, 26 July 2009 - 7 pm
    The James Taylor Gallery
    Collent Street, E9 6SQ Hackney, London
    www.jamestaylorgallery.co.uk
    Free. No booking required.

    screen-play looks at a selection of works that turn a blind eye to conventional narrative structures. The presented videos focus on altering the stage of actions, resisting their accomplishment. They do so by playing with the position of the subject and the duration of the time frame. The invited artists propose technical and conceptual shifts that fracture the viewers' expectations, reversing the course of the events and the context in which they take place. This mode of operating allows for a redefinition of the source material employed, as well as a reframing of the setting in which the action occurs.

    - Emanuel Almborg, Newsreel, 2008, 10min
    - George Barber, Absence of Satan, 1985, 4.46min
    - Slater Bradley, Recorded Yesterday, 2004, 2.02min
    - Matthew Noel-Tod, Bicycle Thief, 1998/2001, 3.30min
    - Maria Domenica Rapicavoli, My Ideal House, 2007, 2.20min
    - Brian Rhodes, Glenn Branca Solo Phaseshift, 2009, 7min
    - Zbig Rybczynski, New Book (Nowa Ksiazka), 1975, 10.26min
    - Jozef Robakowski, The Market, 1970, 6min
    - Sepideh Saii, Buffalo 66, 2008, 1.49min
    - Alessandro Sambini, Presidents, 2009, 8.45min
    - Patrick Ward, Reception, 2004, 4.31min

    The notions of repetition, overlapping and de-contextualisation are stretched out to turn the ordinary into the cinematic and the cinematic into the performative. It is where actions and contexts lose their original significance that new interpretative spaces are created - spaces that go beyond any presupposed reading.

    screen-play is part of the project A Cinema (July 23 - 26), which brings together the exhibition playing with narratives and the screening Narrative Shorts by Jonathan Entwistle. For details of the programme see: http://jamestaylorgallery.co.uk/exhibitions/2009/06/a-cinema.html

    ping pong is a double act founded in 2009 that explores the dynamics of curatorial  dialogue. It is a continuous flow of ideas that produces unexpected results over the process of exchange. The only exception to the rule is that the ball never falls, simply keeps bouncing. ping pong is Marialaura Ghidini and Gaia Tedone.

  • Oporto apresenta #15: Fog pumas

    By on

    gunvor_nelson"Fog Pumas" by Gunvor Nelson

    Thursday, July 16, 2009, 11 pm

    in collaboration with Dorothy Wiley
    16 mm, colour, stereo sound, 25', 1967

    Gunvor Nelson is one of those acclaimed avantgarde-film-makers who, in the sixties, settled in the Bay Area. Since then she has been doing highly personal pieces revealing a strong poetic and feminine awareness. Her camera and montage talent releases the unseen musical quality trapped in things. In "Fog Pumas" beauty arouses unexpectedly from a surreal context. In her words the film is "a surreal fantasy populated by an imaginative assortment of human beings, creatures, places and events.

    "an entropic requiem"
 - Alexandre Estrela

    Oporto is a studio and a non-profit screening room located in Lisboa. Occupying the former Merchant Sailors Union headquarters, Oporto projects from time to time a single unique experimental video or film. The programme is exquisite and extremely slow.The selection of the pieces screened is made, not only on the basis of the work itself, but also on an overall idea of an exquisite corpse . The space is directed by artist Alexandre Estrela, in cooperation with designers and associate program managers Antonio Gomes and Claudia Castelo a.k.a. Barbara Says and artist Miguel Soares.

    By on

    Time And Space
    London BFI Southbank
    Sunday 19 July 2009, at 6:10pm

    These three films, made within two years of the Apollo 11 landing, by artists who were pioneers in the development of conceptual art in Britain, capture a contemporary fascination on the part of artists and public with the events and imagery of space exploration. At the same time, they continually return to the concerns of everyday life on earth. The films will be introduced by curators Nicholas Alfrey and Joy Sleeman, who will be joined by artist David Lamelas.

    One
    Ian Breakwell & Mike Leggett, UK, 1971/2003, video, b/w, sound, 15 min
    ONE documents a performance by Breakwell at the Angela Flowers Gallery, celebrating the gallery’s first anniversary and coinciding with the Apollo 14 manned mission to the moon in February 1971. Throughout an eight-hour ‘working day’, a group of labourers shovel dirt in a room on the second floor of the gallery. This activity was simultaneously broadcast via CCTV to a monitor in the gallery’s street level window. As the day went on and the original piles became a layer of mud on the gallery floor, the live footage struck a striking resemblance to that being fed back from the moon, drawing the attention, and confusion, of passers by.

    A Study Of Relationships Between Inner And Outer Space
    David Lamelas, UK, 1969, 16mm, b/w, sound, 20 min
    A STUDY OF RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN INNER AND OUTER SPACE begins with an analytical investigation of the architecture of one of the galleries at the Camden Arts Centre, where the film was originally shown, along with interviews with gallery staff - a gallery manager, a guard, a clerk - revealing some of the structure and hierarchies within the institution. In the second part of the film, the focus shifts to the environment outside the gallery, the city and its infrastructure, its transport and weather systems. Finally, these ever increasing circles take us out onto the street, where passers by are quizzed about ‘the most important subject according to the mass media of information, on the 21st May, between 5 and 7 pm, time when the interviews were filmed.’ That subject happens to be the Apollo 10 lunar probe, the final ‘rehearsal’ for the moon landing in July.

    Erth
    John Latham, UK, 1971, 16mm, colour, sound, 25 min
    A visual countdown of the age of the universe, through time and space, to the surface of the earth. Latham was fascinated by the photographs of the earth that were being returned from the first space missions.
    From their great distance, these images described the perspective which Latham felt was necessary to perceive our temporary habitation of the planet in relation to what he called the ‘whole event’, the Universe. Periods of silent black space are punctuated by momentary glimpses of the earth, getting closer as the film rolls.  As the camera zooms in, there is a change of pace when an entire volume of the Encyclopedia Britannica flickers past, frame-by-frame. In the final frames of Erth a blurred figure is seen in the landscape, a representative of the “brilliant streptococcus organism for which no antidote exists” (JL).

    "Time and Space" is a satellite event of the exhibition "Earth-Moon-Earth" (Djanogly Gallery, University of Nottingham, until 9 August) and the third in a series of screenings organised by John Latham's Flat Time House in Peckham. The event is presented at the BFI in collaboration with Flat Time House, and the Djanogly Gallery.
