Monday October 29, 7pm
PETER HUTTON IN THE ELEMENTS, Starr Auditorium, Tate Modern,  
Bankside, London, SE1 9TG
Tickets: £5 / £4 concessions, booking recommended Box Office: 020  
7887 8888 www.tate.org.uk

Films by Peter Hutton appear more closely related to landscape  
painting and still photography than contemporary cinema. In their  
stately portrayal of urban and rural locations, they afford the  
viewer a rarefied and highly-focused mode of looking, a stillness  
seemingly at odds with everyday life. Over shots of extended  
duration, the world reveals itself before the camera, which often  
records only subtle changes of light and atmospheric conditions.

Peter Hutton began making films in 1970 and has work in the  
collections of the Whitney Museum, Centre Georges Pompidou, George  
Eastman House and the Austrian Film Museum. A former merchant seaman,  
he has been a professor of film at Bard College in the Hudson River  
Valley since 1985. His most recent film, At Sea, will screen in the  
London Film Festival on Sunday 28 October.

For this screening at Tate Modern, Peter Hutton will introduce works,  
made on land and sea, which relate to the elements of earth, air,  
fire and water.

Curated by Mark Webber.
Presented in association with The Times BFI 51st London Film  
Festival. www.lff.org.uk

Wednesday October 31.
In a World Like This, Jaki Irvine, Chisenhale Gallery, 64 Chisenhale  
Road, London  E3 5QZ
Preview Tuesday 30 October, 6.30 - 8.30. Dates 31 October – 9  
December 2007
Open  Weds – Sun, 1 – 6pm Thurs 1 Nov & 6 Dec, 1 – 9pm

This multi-projection installation was shot at Eagles Flying, The  
Irish Raptor Research Centre in Ballymote. Co Sligo.
In a World Like This is concerned with the question as to how we  
might best proceed in circumstances which are not perfect but are  
possibly the best they're ever likely to be. At the raptor centre  
birds of prey sit out in the garden, and are at once both surreal and  
beautiful. Some of the birds have been damaged through misuse at  
other holdings, and have grown overly aggressive or are physically  
damaged as a result. Others arrived at the centre having been found  
with broken wings or other injuries. Here, alongside healing limbs  
and infections, new relationships have been built up with great care  
and patience. Tracing the sometimes hesitant flights and landings of  
the different birds to and from their handlers, the fragile lines  
between damage, beauty and trust slowly reveal themselves. Irvine's  
films and videos create elusive yet absorbing narratives that explore  
human interaction with the natural world, with the built environment  
and with other humans. Using a combination of image, sound and voice- 
over her films suggest fragments of larger untold narratives and  
evoke a place where the boundaries between realities and dreams, past  
and present and animal and human become fluid and permeable. The  
exhibition which has been produced in collaboration with Chisenhale  
Gallery, London and The Model Arts and Niland Gallery, Sligo,  
Ireland. A major new publication to mark the exhibition will be  
published in early 2008.

Since he first began making films in the regular 8mm format during  
the 1960s, Ernie Gehr has developed into one of the most singular  
artists in the cinematic avant-garde. Considered ‘a filmmaker's  
filmmaker’ by peers and critics such as J. Hoberman and P. Adams  
Sitney, Gehr produces lucid, rigorous, radiant films that address the  
fundamental qualities of film as film, and the anxieties of cinematic  
representation. This series of five programmes includes work ranging  
from his 1970 shock corridor masterpiece, Serene Velocity, to dynamic  
city films such as Side/Walk/Shuttle (1991), as well as his most  
recent work in digital video. Following retrospectives at the Museum  
of Modern Art, New York, Centre Georges Pompidou, and the San  
Francisco Cinematheque, don’t miss this long overdue London survey of  
Gehr’s transformative films.
