The Berlin-based curator Marcel Schwierin invited Stuart Comer
(curator of film at Tate Modern) as an American living and working in
London to discuss anti-Americanism, American culture and its
counterculture. The discussion will be based on the work of two
artists: Marcel Schwierin will present ‘America Sells’ and an excerpt
of ‘Auto Center Drive’ by the German video artist Bjørn Melhus, who
works nearly exclusively on U.S. American media in a very personal
way, reflecting the huge influence of this culture in Germany after
1945. Stuart Comer will present the rarely seen 'ITSOFOMO' by David
Wojnarowicz, which is a personal and highly political statement from
the New York underground.
Films:
America Sells, Bjørn Melhus, Germany 1990, U-Matic, colour, sound, 7 min
Auto Center Drive, Bjørn Melhus, Germany 2003, 16mm, colour, sound,

New Work UK: TRUST YOURSELF
Curated by Lina Dzuverovic
Michelle Deignan, Chia-En Jao, Yaron Lapid, Flávia Müller Medeiros,
Harold Offeh, Uriel Orlow,
What is new work? Was I to look for recently completed work? Or work
new to the audience, new to LUX, new to Whitechapel? I decided that
the most meaningful way forward was to look for work that was new to
me, challenging the idea of curators’ expected ‘stable’ of artists,
as well as my own patterns of working. The criteria became that the
work shown had to be previously unseen by myself, made by artists I
had not worked with before (and as it turns out, never met).
I wanted the screening to reflect the process of putting such a
programme together. What are the channels that curators use when
asked to compile a project like this? How do artists reach those
curators and what means do curators have for moving beyond what they
already know?
The resulting programme comprises work made between 2003 and 2007 by
six UK based artists. It takes us on a geographically dispersed
journey on which we encounter fictional and real characters whose
stories and messages introduce a range of storytelling modes. Taking
risks in their delivery, the works range from intimate accounts of
personal experiences, pseudo reportages delivered by ‘official’
voices to oddly conveyed political messages and performative public
actions. The works in the programme shake up our expectations of how
narratives are communicated making us suspend our trust in the
narrator and our immediate responses. These works cause the viewer to
re-think assumed positions and examine how the delivery of
information affects the reading of the content.
Lina Dzuverovic is the Director of the London based contemporary arts
agency ELECTRA.
Programme:
Yaron Lapid – You Have Not Found His Riddle (2003), 12’ 39’’
Chia-En Jao – Father’s Tongue (2007), 5’ 33’’
Uriel Orlow – The Visitor (2007) 15’ 58’’
Flávia Müller Medeiros – Fight The Enemy Abroad So We Don’t Have To
Face Them at Home (2005), 1’20’’
Michelle Deignan – Red Cheeks (2006), 9’ 26’’
Harold Offeh – Haroldinho (2003), 12’
Michelle Deignan- Il Cittadino (2007) 8’ 46’’
Total Running Time: 65 minutes
followed by a discussion with artists and the curator.
