EMMA HART & BENEDICT DREW, JAMES RICHARDS & KEVIN HOWBROOK, MARK LECKEY


An evening of live works that cross between cinema and performance,  
strategies of appropriation and magical formalism.

In Emma Hart & Benedict Drew’s Untitled Two a 50-foot length of film  
with black and white frames is projected by running the filmstrip  
from the projector and through the strings of an electric guitar held  
by Drew who stands in front of the screen. The string is plucked each  
time a splice passes. The effect is disconcerting as the increasingly  
staccato flashing of the projector, in tension with the distorting  
guitar strings, takes the viewer into a territory that is immediately  
personal, sexual and mesmerizing.

To a projected backdrop james Richards and Kevin Howbrook present an  
improvised music and spoken word performance. Using turntables and a  
sampler james creates live sound design and foley fx for the video  
footage and stories read by Kevin.

Plus CINEMA-in-the-ROUND a lecture by Mark Leckey. Professor Leckey  
presents a specially conceived collection of film, video, sculpture,  
painting and other works that "come to life" on screen, grasping as  
much at intangible mass, weight and volume as the indescribable  
essence of objects of which he is enthralled. Leckey shifts between  
an essay on the nature of images, the magic of cinema and an anti- 
authoritarian art history to an impassioned, personal declaration on  
the stuff of things in the material moment that we see them on screen.
