Place, Brighton Saturday 3rd December at 2.30pm £3.50 / £3. A rare  
expanded cinema performance from the Brighton based experimental  
filmmaker. Now into his 80’s Jeff is as prolific as ever with a New  
York retrospective early next year and the long overdue release of  
his work on DVD. Fiercely independent, his films
exhaustively combine animation, live action and collage - plundering  
from the likes of Hollywood, comic strips and pre-war pulps. The aim  
is the very
essence of cinematic spectacle - recreated and endlessly destroyed on  
Brighton’s municipal dumps and rented flats. event includes a triple  
screen projection of early ‘Artwar’ 8mm shorts, never before

PhD studentship. REWIND Artists’ Video in the 70’s & 80’s.  £9K  
Stipend plus fees per annum. REWIND is a research project that is  
developing a research resource that addresses the gap in historical  
knowledge of the evolution of electronic media arts in the UK, by  
investigating specifically the first two decades of British artists’  
works in video. There was a danger that many of these works may  
disappear because of their ephemeral nature and poor technical  
condition.  The project seeks to determine the best examples of works  
from the period, conserve and preserve them, and enable further  
scholarly activity. An archive, website, major exhibition and  
publication will be employed to disseminate the works to the public  
and academic community. We now seek an outstanding individual who  
wants to undertake a PhD research programme attached to REWIND. The  
applicant must propose an independent research programme that relates  
to, and adds value to the research aims, objectives, and outcomes of  
REWIND. Deadline: 13 January 2006 HYPERLINK "http://www.rewind.ac.uk/

Three Artists, Tate Britain Auditorium
Artists Catherine Elwes (author of Video Art: A Guided Tour,  
I.B.Tauris, 2004), Hayley Newman (author of Performancemania, Matt's  
Gallery, 2001) and Jeremy Millar (author of Place, Thames & Hudson,  
2005) curate a day tracing the evolution and history of video art  
from the early days of real-time black-and-white recordings to the  
present day emphasis on large-scale installations. Through  
screenings, talks and discussions, and with contributions from  
practitioners including David Hall, Steven Hawley, Stuart Brisley,  
Monica Ross, Adam Chodzko and Louise Wilson, this symposium explores

video. Discussion of the contemporary artistic context that informs  
the moving image adds to a provocative and enlightening day.
