    Kinopixel: Exploding the Image

    19 September 2008
    - 11 January 2009

    Monday - Saturday 10:00am - 5.30pm
    Sunday 12:00pm - 5:00pm

    Galleries 2 and 3
    Free admission
    Suitable for all audiences

    Kinopixel
    is a screen-based installation curated by Darryl Georgiou. It makes
    links between experimental film avant-gardes and new media art.
    Kinopixel also marks the 30th anniversary of the pioneering 'Video Art
    78' exhibition at The Herbert which showcased early work by artists
    central to the video art movement in the late 1970s. Kinopixel provides
    a timely review of experimental moving image as it migrates from film
    and video to digital.

    The work presented is free from narrative. The content explodes on
    screen, revealing fragments, shaping material, light, process and time
    to create free aesthetic forms. The results are open to interpretation
    and reveal themselves through inspection

    Kinopixel is an artist-led project with an ongoing research and production programme.

  • Stephan Dillemuth - Exhibition and Screenings

    By on

    A rare opportunity to see the recent films of Munich-based artist Stephan Dillemuth presented for the first time with English subtitles.Curated by Anja Kirschner. Stephan Dillemuth is an artist who sees art as a tool for artistic research and critical reflection on the circumstances of contemporary life. His inquiry into recent changes in the idea of the public sphere takes place against the backdrop of our globalised, localised and fragmented publics. Considering the impact of ‘lifestyle’ as a new ideology of self-fulfilment and liberation, Stephan Dillemuth has investigated the German Lebensreform movements at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century. Avoiding didactic explanations or direct comparisons with the present, Stephan Dillemuth’s work settles in the gap between a contemporary and a historical reading.

  • Tank tv : 'The Young and Evil' curated by Stuart Comer

    By on

    William E. Jones / Mansfield 1962  'The Young and Evil' on www.tank.tv
    Curated by Stuart Comer

    14th July 2008 - 21st September 2008

    The digital glow of the internet has largely replaced the dark space of the cinema as the site where furtive desires are first expressed and encountered on flickering screens. Consequently, the web continues to evolve into an uncanny hybrid of personal longing and collective interaction where configurations of watching and being watched take on radically new form. Reconsidering the historical contours and shifting relationships of sex and community in the digital age, a range of artists has been invited to select two works: one contemporary video shown to be shown online, and one historical film to be screened in the cinema. Selectors include Andrea Geyer, William E Jones, Carlos Motta, Emily Roysdon, Akram Zaatari, Daria Martin, Karol Radziszewski and Bruce Yonemoto.

    THE DOUBLE NEGATIVE COLLECTIVE
    PRESENTS
    ARTHUR LIPSETT: ABOUT TIME, A FILM RETROSPECTIVE

    CURATED BY BRETT KASHMERE

    June 4th, 5th, 6th, 12th
    Cinémathèque québécoise
    335, boul. De Maisonneuve Est (Metro Berri-UQÀM
    514-842-9763
    Price - Adult 7$  Student (13-30) 6$

    The Double Negative Collective, a dedicated group of Montréal-based
    filmmakers and curators of cinema, in collaboration with the
    Cinémathèque québécoise and the National Film Board of Canada, invite
    curator Brett Kashmere to present a film retrospective 0f Canadian
    filmmaker Arthur Lipsett.  The exhibition takes place at the
    Cinémathèque québécoise on June 4th, 5th and 6th.  Eric Gaucher’s
    documentary on Arthur Lipsett screens on June 12th at 7pm.

    Propelled to international attention through an Oscar nomination at the
    age of 25, the legendary National Film Board artist Arthur Lipsett
    remains an anomaly within avant-garde film histories. Uneasily
    oscillating between a personal, artisanal tradition and the NFB’s
    institutional mandate “to interpret Canada for Canadians,” he was a
    popular experimental filmmaker whose eccentric, satirical collage films
    were renowned around the world. Lipsett’s films were admired by diverse
    film patriarchs such as Stanley Kubrick, Stan Brakhage, and George
    Lucas.  The exhibition Arthur Lipsett: About Time presents an overdue
    retrospective of Lipsett’s short but influential career, re-assembling
    his dazzling collage work alongside correlative Canadian media artists
    from the past half-century.

    Brett Kashmere is a filmmaker, curator, and Visiting Assistant
    Professor of Cinema Studies at Oberlin College in Ohio, USA.  Kashmere
    has organized programs for the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art
    Strasbourg, Light Cone, Cinémathèque québécoise, Eyebeam Center for Art
    and Technology, Cinema Project, Vtape, and Cinematheque Ontario.
