“What is so extraordinary about this body of work is the passionate  
clarity of the ideas that fuel it and the formal precision of the  
narrative and cinematographic structures which allow the viewer in.”  
LESLIE DICK

One of the most distinctive film artists currently working, Paul Bush  
has crafted a unique filmography within the realm of what is called  
animation, while never being restricted by any of the default  
settings of that medium. His award-winning shorts challenge the  
boundaries that separate fiction, documentary and the expectations of  
the animated image.

His background in fine art influences his work, which is reflected in  
its inclusion in art collections and exhibitions as well as cinema  
distribution and television broadcast.

Film programme
James Richards’ work shifts in form and content dependent on the  
location and context of its exhibition. Material scavenged from the  
internet, fragments of popular television, mainstream and underground  
combine with original video into an extraordinary resonance and  
profound new emotional landscape. It is shown alongside an exclusive  
presentation of early work by the renowned artist Cerith Wyn Evans,  
where content radically shifts dependent on its context, in a  
profound and mutating essay on human perception.

This programme is part of a series of three screenings presenting and  
contextualising the first public showing of brilliant new work by  
three young contemporary artists working in London.
