EXHIBITIONS, SCREENINGS AND EVENTS

26 June - 26 July
Archivos OVNI
LUX 28, 28 Shacklewell Lane, London E8 2EZ http://www.lux28.org.uk
Opening Times Wednesday - Saturday 12-6
Archivos OVNI (Observatorio de Video No Identificado) is an  
independent artists' video archive project based at the Centre for  
Contemporary Art in Barcelona. Founded in 1993 it aims to encourage a  
critique of contemporary culture and society, through the collecting  
and dissemination of a wide range of independent media works  
particularly from Latin America, the Middle East and North Africa. At  
LUX 28 Archivos OVNI presents a specially curated selection of works  
from the archives which will be browsable by visitors during the  
period of the show as well as a weekly changing series of screenings  
drawing out principle lines of investigation for project around ideas  
of exodus and resistance.

Thursday 24 July 8pm (doors 7.30pm)
The Trail of the Spider – Anja Kirschner and David Panos
Chats Palace, 42-44 Brooksby’s Walk, Homerton, E9 6DF (Homerton  
overground). Admission Free
LUX presents the Hackney Premiere of Kirschner and Panos’ The Trail  
of the Spider an unsettling trans-historical vision of the Wild West  
that collides with the suppressed history of the multi-racial  
American West and the conflicts breaking up contemporary East London.  
In a vanishing frontier, swarming with calculating surveyors, corrupt  
lawmen and hired thugs, a lone gunfighter must avenge the  
dispossessed, or remain trapped in a state of limbo, haunted by the  
past and pitted against a future which offers no retreat and no  
alternatives.

3 August
LUX @ Publish and Be Damned
Rochelle School, Arnold Circus, London E2 7ES
http://www.publishandbedamned.org.uk
For this year’s Publish and Be Damned artists' book fair, LUX is  
organising a project room of artists' DVDs. Drawing on an  
international network of artists, publishers and distributors, it  
will gather together a wide variety of self-published and scare  
artist titles, as well LUX’s own publications. This event offers a  
rare opportunity to sample the breadth of the publishing activity in  
the field of artists' film and video. Partners in the project will  
include Bureau des Videos, Unseen Cinema and many individual artists.
Publish and Be Damned is an annual event which profiles individual  
and experimental approaches to making and distributing the work of  
artists, writers and musicians outside of the commercial mainstream,  
encompassing DIY fanzines, magazines, critical journals, glossy  
periodicals, video compendiums and independent record labels.
