UPCOMING SCREENINGS AND EXHIBITIONS
A NIGHT WITH PHIL COLLINS AND ALEX BAG, SELECT 2 AT TATE BRITAIN, 2
SEPTEMBER 8PM (Clore Auditorium, Admission FREE, no booking) ‘This
is a living-dead art, a critical-hysterical acting out of the
deodorized-bathroom neurotic, the suicidal biochemical-test subject
and the terminal media addict we all recognize as ourselves.’ John
Kelsey, Artforum, May 2004. Once described as ‘the spawn of Cindy
Sherman and Buster Keaton’, Alex Bag makes irreverent, smart and
fiercely critical work in video and installation. She is best known
for her low-tech performance tapes that utilise the power of
televised image and the satiric edge of stand-up comedy to cheerfully
but mercilessly denounce a range of modern-day maladies. From
frivolities of our celebrity infatuated culture to the futility of
the whole fine-art enterprise to Consumer Mesmerism, Product Sorcery
and the Necromantic Re-imagination of Consumption, nothing escapes
the fury of this unflagging art-world renegade. An iconic figure of
the New York art scene since the mid-90s, Bag is acclaimed as one of
the foremost American artists yet her work has been rarely exhibited
in the UK. In his role as the host of the second in the LUX/Tate
screening series, Phil Collins offers an unprecedented opportunity to
take you on a trip into the hilarious and wild world of Alex Bag.
Along with the most recent works, the selection will also include
Bag’s classic Untitled (Fall ’95) (1995). The night will be
introduced by Phil Collins and Alex Bag in person. http://
