Tate Modern, East Room

www.tate.org.uk/modern

In the last few years, video art has experienced a dramatic growth  
and widespread exposure at festivals and major exhibitions. Yet it  
can be among the most difficult areas of artistic practice in which  
to work professionally. While video art appeals to a large public in  
tune with current media sensibilities, the artist is faced with a  
bewildering range of outlets and distribution channels, from  
commercial galleries to film festivals across the world and online.

This study day offers an overview of professional development  
opportunities and financial and other resources available for  
emerging video artists. The contributors are Rose Cupit (Film  
London), Rachel Baker (Arts Council England) and London-based artists  
Manuel Saiz and Stephen Johnstone.

Based in London, Peter Cusack works as a sound artist, musician and  
environmentalrecordist with a special interest in environmental sound  
and acoustic ecology. Projects move from community arts to research  
into the contribution of sound to our senses of place, to recordings  
that document areas of special sonic interest, e.g. Lake Baikal,  
Siberia, Xinjang China's most western province. In 2005 Peter was  
involved in 'Sound & the City' the British Council sound art project  
in Beijing. His current project 'Sounds From Dangerous Places'  
examines the soundscapes of sites of major environmental damage, e.g.  
Chernobyl, the Azerbaijan oil fields, and controversial dams in south- 
eastern Turkey. He initiated 'Your Favourite London Sound' a project  
that aims to discover what Londoners find positive in their city's  
soundscape, an idea that has been repeated in other world cities  
including Beijing and Chicago.

Peter also produces 'Vermilion Sounds' a monthly environmental sound  
program on Resonance FM and lectures on 'Sound Arts & Design' at the  
London College of Communication. He was recently appointed research  
fellow on the Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council's  
multidisciplinary 'Positive Soundscapes Project'. As a musician, he  
tours regularly at home and abroad. Available recordings include  
‘Where is the Green Parrot?’, ‘Your Favourite London Sounds’ and  
‘Baikal Ice’.

Angela Impey has a doctorate in Anthropology/Ethnomusicology from  
Indiana University (Bloomington). She has worked in community arts  
and education in various countries in southern Africa, and lectured  
Ethnomusicology at the University of KwaZulu Natal (SA) for many  
years. Her research, which was located in the borderlands of South  
Africa, Mozambique and Swaziland, explored ways in which sound and  
the affects of music making may contribute critical cultural insights  
to current perspectives in development, particularly as they pertain to
land, gender and natural resource management. Angela has recently  
relocated to London and is working on various environmental  
development projects in the Eastern Nile Region of Ethiopia and Sudan  
as a social development consultant.

Light Reading is an on-going series of critical dialogues that engage  
artists, writers and curators in conversation around a selected  
artist’s body of work. The series will resume in January 2007. To be  
included on the mailing list please contact courses at nowhere-lab.org

Friday 1 December 2006, from 6pm
Video and Music Performers (VAMP)
Tate Britain
This event is free, no bookings taken
VAMP (Video and Music Performers), video performance, Duveen Galleries
After a twenty-five-year hiatuses, VAMP are performing again. The  
group were the first to perform integrated video and audio works  
using the Videokalos image-processing synthesizer, developed and  
built by Donebauer in collaboration with Monkhouse in the mid 1970s.  
The artists include Simon Desorgher on flute and electronics, Peter  
Donebauer on Videoakalos synthesiser, Richard Monkhouse on Vector  
Pattern Generator and Michael Orniston on the Mongolian horse-head  
fiddle with Mongolian overtone singing.

Kevin Atherton, In Two Minds, video performance, Clore Auditorium
In Two Minds - Past Version consists of the fifty-five-year-old Kevin
Atherton answering questions put to him by his twenty-seven-year-old,
pre-recorded self. The resulting performance is a humorous and  
insightful examination of 1970s video art but as it progresses,  
becomes a poignant reflection on what has happened in the intervening  
twenty-eight years.

Continuous playback of selected single screen tapes, Clore Gallery Foyer
