Tuesday 29th January. 7pm
Overload.
South London Gallery, 65 Peckham Road, London SE5 8UH
7pm, Tickets £3, doors 6.30pm www.southlondongallery.org

The first in a series of screenings profiling artists' film and  
video, Overload brings together seven international artists whose  
work engages with political and social issues in contemporary  
society. Working with video, performance, installation or object  
displays they interpret political ideas within an aesthetic of  
‘excess’. Using references from popular culture or engaging with  
strategies of appropriation, together they propose a critical  
discourse suffused with a certain irony on representation and history.

Wednesday 30th January. 7pm
Daniel Gosling: Work in progress showing and Q&A –supported by New  
Work Network and Artsadmin
Toynbee Studios, 28 Commercial Street, London E1 6AB
Limited capacity. To book email: manick at artsadmin.co.uk

On the night of 2-3 December 1984, a large quantity of deadly gas  
leaked from a tank at the poorly maintained Union Carbide pesticide  
factory in Bhopal, India, killing thousands of people. In Feb-March  
2006 a group of approximately 50 Muslim and Hindu survivor-activists  
walked 500 miles from Bhopal to Delhi in an act of non-violent  
resistance against more than 21 years of corporate intransigence and  
government inaction. Gosling was invited to walk with them as a video  
artist in transient residence.
Daniel Gosling will be presenting footage recorded during the walk.  
He will also be responding to questions and discuss the direction of  
the developing work.

Series 8
with artists from the 2007 FURTHER 3 Residency Oliver Bancroft, Lara  
Saxby-
Soria and James Richards who will be showing extracts of their work  
to date and the development in their thinking during their residency.

Lara Saxby-Soria
Lara's practice embraces a cross-disciplinary approach which includes  
photography, installation and most predominantly video installation,  
though there is always a sculptural element to her work. Her  
installations attempt to engage the medium of film with ephemeral  
materials such as sand and water to explore notions of exposure,  
vulnerability and illusion.

Oliver Bancroft
Oliver works in a variety of media including film, painting and  
photography. During his residency Oliver will be working on a  
butterfly film, Apatura Iris, 'exploring film-making as alchemy for  
the reanimation of moments and memories'.

James Richards
James works as an editor on music videos and fashion projects. During  
his  residency James intended to use 16mm and Super 8 to move away  
from sampling / remixing processes, setting up and filming cinematic  
situations while exploring the live and sculptural potential of film  
and projection equipment.

Further is a joint project between Artquest, no.w.here, and Film  
London's Artists' Moving Image Network, which provides artists with  
the chance to develop their practice with full access to no.w.here  
training, facilities, and support.

Ghost Story, Willie Doherty.
Artprojx at Prince Charles Cinema, 7 Leicester Place, London WC2
Tickets £10 (£5 for artists, curators and students)

Artprojx & Matt's Gallery present Ghost Story by Willie Doherty  
followed by Willie Doherty and Tim Marlow in conversation ending with  
a repeat screening.
'Ghost Story (2007) is a new work by the master of paranoia and  
passive aggression, Willie Doherty, which introduces the use of a  
first-person voiceover (by the actor Stephen Rea) that details the  
speaker's mounting anxiety as he is unable to order, much less  
interpret, his own fragmentary and sometimes violent memories.'  
Marcia E. Vetrocq, Art in America, 2007.
