4. PUBLISHING

The Argument Book, Anthony McCall and Andrew Tyndall. Published in  
the UK by LUX. ISBN: 0-9548569-3-7
  Alongside the restored version of the film, LUX is pleased to be  
republishing the book by Anthony McCall and Andrew Tyndall which was  
originally published alongside it. As well as being a sustained  
investigation into the semiotics of newspaper and magazines, the  
Argument project turned the spotlight on the issues around making and  
screening political films. These ideas, which are present in the  
film, are developed further in the book, which includes three  
important essays by McCall and Tyndall: ‘Sixteen Working Statements’,  
‘Artist as Businessman’ and ‘Against the Numbers Theory’. The book  
also features images from the film, as well as responses and reviews  
of the original screenings by Jane Weinstock, David Himelfarb and  
Claire Pajaczkowska. The new edition includes a complete facsimile of  
the third edition from 1979, along with a new introduction, an  
account of the original screenings of the film and additional images.  
It costs £5 plus p&p and can be purchased directly from LUX. See

5. LUX NEWS

RIP
JOHN LATHAM 1921-2006. We are very sorry to announce that the British  
artist, John Latham died on 1 January 2006, aged 84. A highly  
influential but often overlooked artist, John’s importance and the  
singularly of his vision have only recently started to be fully  
appreciated. LUX has been working closely with John over the past 2  
years to research and restore his film works, a project that we are  
now close to finishing. A current exhibition of his work is ongoing  
at Tate Britain until 28 February, see http://www.tate.org.uk/britain/ 
exhibitions/latham/default.shtm for more details.

screenings explores polemic in rare historical and contemporary film  
and video. A Whitechapel/ LUX Collaboration.
Curated by Ian White and Mike Sperlinger.
£5.50/3.50 concs and Whitechapel members
Season ticket to Argument £18/13
http://www.whitechapel.org

2 February, 7pm
Argument - Anthony McCall & Andrew Tyndall
Three male voices dissect one edition of The New York Times,  
revealing the prejudice and latent content of news and  
advertisements, reading images as texts, presenting text as image.  
Stylistically beautiful, relentless in its enquiry, the film remains  
a critically relevant and inflammatory tract.
Anthony McCall & Andrew Tyndall, US, 1978, 16mm on video, 75mins

Thu 16 February, 7pm
Lothar Baumgarten - The Origin of the Night: Cosmos of the Amazon
An unconventional, nonnarrative essay in images, with ethnographic,  
literary, art historical & botantical quotations. Taking its cue from  
a mythical tale of the Tupi Indians the film profoundly transforms  
the banks of the Rhine into the Amazon rainforest at the end of time.
(Ger 1973-77, 16mm on video, 98mins)
