JUL/AUG – A Study of the Relationships between Inner and Outer Space/
David Lamelas (1969, 20 min)
“A Study of the Relationships between Inner and Outer Space was
produced for the exhibition Environments Reversal at Camden Arts
Centre in London, radically using the exhibition budget for a film
production that documented the exhibition context as well as
participating in it. After a series of shots analysing the
rudimentary architectural components of the gallery space, the camera
trains itself on a series of interviews with gallery staff, including
a curator, a Jamaican guard, and a female clerk. The seemingly
innocent monologues quickly betray the subtext of daily institutional
life: submission, surveillance and authority. The course of the film
eventually circles out of the gallery and into the urban framework of
London, providing statistical information that takes the measure of
city life and its infrastructure at the time.” Stuart Comer in
Afterall (2005)

SCREENINGS AND EVENTS
Thursday 19 July 7.30pm, Whitechapel Gallery, London.
LUX and Whitechapel present New Work UK: You and Me curated by Polly
Staple
Pablo Bronstein, Bonnie Camplin, Keren Cytter, Jaki Irvine, Hilary
Lloyd, Lucy Skaer, Cathy Wilkes
The programme consists of a selection of works made between 1996 and
2007 across a range of film media. A number of the artists are not
primarily filmmakers and they bring a range of disparate influences
to their exploration of film and video’s ability to play with space,
time and sound. Two artists not based in the UK are included - Keren
Cytter and Jaki Irvine - as evidence of a shared set of concerns that
construct a dialogue beyond the terms ‘new’ and ‘British’. The
intention with the programme is to create a specific atmosphere, a
proposal for a cinematic experience. The works eschew easy
categorisation revealing tensions between documentary and staged
performance, fictitious narrative and enigmatic portraiture, aura and
presence, memory and image. The domestic and a low-key approach to
production characterises the selection. The use of varying linguistic
registers and editing techniques creates a distinct rhythm and pace:
a precise choreography focussing on the spaces between people and
things, an abundance of melancholic posturing and charged silences.
The programme explores how we construct and communicate personalities
- both private and public, intimate and absurd - the power of
iconography, subject-hood, the object-ness of objects, the
materiality of film, something between the hand and the eye, the gap
between you and me.
The programme lasts approximately 30 minutes and will be shown twice
with an interval for discussion. http://www.whitechapel.org
