THE AVANT-GARDE BONUS – MONDAY EVENING LIVE PERFORMANCE !
LIVE PERFORMANCE: LUIS RECODER + SANDRA GIBSON
ICA Theatre
The Mall, London SW1
New York artists Luis Recoder + Sandra Gibson create innovative and  
engaging light works in which they interact with and manipulate the  
projected image. Though their work is grounded in cinema, it goes  
beyond an understanding of what film is, taking into consideration  
the architecture and conditions of the performing / viewing situation  
and the physical and emotional presence of light itself. From the  
inventive ways that they create images on the film strip to the use  
of multiple projection in live performance, Recoder + Gibson are two  
of the most vital young artists active in the field of ‘expanded  
cinema’. Rarely seen in the UK, their work has been featured in the  
Whitney Biennial and many major festivals. This untitled piece was  
developed in collaboration with experimental musician Daniel Menche and
first presented at ‘Kill Your Timid Notion’ in Dundee earlier this  
year. The performance uses multiple 16mm projectors and an ingenious  
method of refracting and transforming the beams of light. As the work  
unfolds, Recoder + Gibson subtly manipulate the projectors, creating  
a constantly changing and hypnotic sequence of abstract imagery  
reminiscent of Rothko and colour field painting.
Please Note: Arrive Early ! This piece will be running as an  
installation
from 19.00 and will shift into the live performance sometime after  
19.30. The performance will be between 60-90 minutes long

Wednesday 1st November, 7pm
Sarah Pucill Films plus Q&A
Greenwich Picturehouse
£6/£5 members and concessions
08707 55 00 65, www.picturehouses.co.uk
Sarah Pucill introduces a preview of her new film TAKING MY SKIN  
preceded by some of her earlier work. She will also be staying for a  
Q&A after the screenings.
Programme
You Be Mother (1990)
Backcomb (1995)
Swollen Stigma (1998)
Taking My Skin (2006)

Sarah Pucill’s films explore the mirroring and merging we seek in the  
Other; a sense of self which is transformative and fluid. Her work is  
concerned with the idea that as subjects we are not separate.  
Focusing on the materiality of film and the body, she creates a vivid  
and unsettling psychic world that sets up the imaginary as a  
potential site of resistance.
