UPCOMING SCREENINGS, EVENTS & EXHIBITIONS

Thu 22 June, 7pm
New Work UK: B*stards, Whitechapel Gallery, London
NEW WORK UK is a LUX/ Whitechapel series showcasing new British  
artists' film and video, each event is selected by a different guest  
curator.
In today’s all-pervasive media culture, video is becoming an  
increasingly flexible hybrid. Utilising a variety of strategies, the  
works in this selection freely combine elements of pop music, TV  
adverts, animation, film history and institutional critique,  
proposing adventurous investigations of the form while retaining a  
firm conceptual grounding. The videos explore the intimate  
relationship between the subject and the viewer, the unpredictable  
intersections of image and sound, and the idea of making work in the  
vacillating space between the public and the private. Including  
recent works by Adam Chodzko, Phil Collins, Seamus Harahan, Torsten  
Lauschmann, Craig Mulholland and Annika Ström. Curated by Sinisa  
Mitrovic.
£5.50/3.50 concs & Whitechapel members.
Free for Whitechapel Associates and Patrons.
