4. PUBLISHING
Two new academic DVD Releases from LUX in the Afterimages series
(DVDs are only available for institutional sale at the moment) http://
www.lux.org.uk/shop/afterimages.htm
Afterimages 3: Lis Rhodes.
Lis Rhodes has been at the forefront of British experimental
filmmaking since the early 1970s. She studied at the North East
London Polytechnic and the Royal College of Art. A strong formal
aesthetic has been developed in her films, reflecting her involvement
with the debates and practice which emerged from the London
Filmmakers' Co-operative, where she was Cinema Curator 1975-6. Early
'expanded' works such as Light Music (1975) fused performance and
multi-screen projection with an exploration of the visual qualities
of sound. Her analysis of broader political and social questions can
be traced to her later films, which combine formal rigour with a
passionate critique of issues from nuclear power to domestic
violence. As an active campaigner for women's rights, Rhodes was a
founder member of Circles, the first women's artist film and video
(1979) and was an Arts Advisor to the Greater London Council between
1982 and 1985. She lives and works in London and teaches at Slade
School of Fine Art, University College, London.
Contents: Light Reading, 1978, 20 min; Pictures on Pink Paper, 1982,
35 min; Cold Draft, 1988, 28 min
Afterimages 4: Vivivienne Dick.
"the quintessential No Wave filmmaker." J.Hoberman
Born in Donegal, Ireland, Vivienne Dick moved to New York in 1975.
There she became part of a group of filmmakers affiliated to the
music and aesthetics known as 'No Wave'. Shot mainly on Super-8,
Dick's films from this period feature many people and musicians from
the No Wave movement in New York, such as Lydia Lunch, Pat Place,
James Chance and Ikue Mori. Invoking the spirit of '60s underground
filmmakers, her work betrays an interest in individual transgression,
urban street life, kitsch and pop culture. Multilayered and open-
ended, the work is framed from a female perspective, with an
overriding concern for social conditioning and sexual politics.
Contents: Guerillére Talks, 1978, 24 min; She Had Her Gun Already,
1978, 28 min; Staten Island, 1978, 4 min
5. LUX NEWS
NEW LUX ONLINE EXHIBITIONS
New temporary exhibitions of full artists’ films from LUX.
September/ October 2007
Pedagogue (1988), Stuart Marshall with Neil Bartlett
Marshall’s witty riposte to the Conservative Government's Section 28
(a Local Government Act passed in 1988 to stop the expenditure of
public money by local authorities to "promote homosexuality") by
systematically trivializing and ridiculing its rulings. It also
deconstructs the two establishment myths that homosexuality can be
"taught" and is "infectious". Showing to mark the launch of the
Stuart Marshall site on LUXONLINE, Marshall’s sound performance
Idiophonics will be restaged as part of the LUX event, Basement
Basement on 21st September, see below for details.

NEW ON LUXONLINE
Stuart Marshall
www.luxonline.org.uk/artists/stuart_marshall/index.html
'Stuart Marshall was an exceptionally gifted artist and teacher. His
creativity §was expressed through many forms: avant-garde music,
video, performance and installation art as well as film. He was also
a gay man with unstinting political commitment to supporting lesbian
and gay lives through his work.'
Rebecca Dobbs, A Directory of Film & Video Artists, ACE 1992.
SCREENINGS AND EVENTS
Wed 12 September, 7.30pm
LUX and Whitechapel present Babette Mangolte's The Camera: Je or La
Camera: I, Whitechapel Gallery, London
An experimental film which acts out the view of a photographer on her
subjects and the city she lives in, New York. The film uses a
technique of subjective camera, to give to the spectator an active
sense of the problematics in the relation of camera to subject,
photographing to photographed. In conversation screening with
filmmaker Babette Mangolte and Ian White, Adjunct Film Curator,
Whitechapel. http://www.whitechapel.org Presented in association with
John Hansard Gallery, Southampton as part of the exhibition Live Art
on Camera, 18 September - 10 November which includes other work by
Babette Mangolte.
£5 booking recommended
Sat 15 September, & 16 September
PingPong d'Amour, Whitechapel Gallery, London
Weekend film season
Le PingPong d’Amour is a Nouvelle Vague soap opera - a project in
three parts by a collaborative group of German artists and
filmmakers. It brilliantly exploits the populist form while
referencing the work of radical German playwright Heiner Müller and
examining contemporary artistic practice, philosophical and
theoretical discourses through role play, humour, conceptual and
symbolic codes, text and computer graphics. This is the first time
these extraordinary works are being shown outside of Germany.
In Part I, a group of friends share a flat and undergo peculiar yet
systematic discussions and experiments that investigate style, work,
money and love.

Friday 21 September 7.30pm
LUX presents Basement Basement.
basement gallery, Candid Arts, 3 Torrens St, London, EC1V 1NQ. FREE
ADMISSION
A celebration of the artist run space Ayton Basement, Newcastle
through work by some of the artists who showed there.
In 1976 a few month after artists run space 2B Butler’s Wharf opened
in London, Ayton Basement opened on the quayside in Newcastle Upon
Tyne. ‘A space run by artists for contemporary work in video, film,
and live performance’. It would present work by Kevin Atherton, Eric
Bainbridge, Paul Burwell, Nicolas Collins, Stuart Marshall, David
Critchely, Roland Miller and Shirley Cameron, Jenny Okun, Stephen
Partridge, Alison Winckle, amongst others including the five founder
members Keith Frake, Nigel Frost, David Killen, Peter Todd, Margaret
Warwick. Many of these artists would also be active in other
organisations including, London Film Makers Co-op, London Musicians
Collective, and London Video Arts. In due course Ayton Basement would
become Basement Group and move to a new venue in Spectro Arts
Workshop, and then continue to evolve with a new group of artists
taking on Basement Group which would become Projects UK and continues
today in Newcastle as Locus +. Curated by Peter Todd. Includes work
by Nicolas Collins, Jenny Okun, Peter Todd, Stuart Marshall and David
Critchley
