UPCOMING SCREENINGS, EVENTS & EXHIBITIONS

Thu 9 March, 7pm
NEW WORK UK: The Chemical Effect
NEW WORK UK is a LUX/ Whitechapel series showcasing new British  
artists' film and video, each event is selected by a different guest  
curator.
At only 118 years, film remains a comparatively young means of  
creating images. Technology has side-stepped its photo-chemical  
foundations and organised the irregularity of its grain. This  
programme presents recent artists’ work in which film upholds and  
advances its material qualities; experiments with optical printing,  
home processing, photo-chemical effects, lab experimentation and  
more. Featuring films by Karen Mirza and Brad Butler, Ben Rivers and  
Oliver Bancroft.
Curated by William Rose.
£5.50/3.50 concs & Whitechapel members.
Free for Whitechapel Associates and Patrons.

Thu 2 February - Thurs 16 March, Whitechapel Gallery, London
Argument
A season to mark the first release of Anthony McCall and Andrew  
Tyndall’s important 1978 film Argument, this major series of four  
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

Thu 2 March, 7pm
Lawrence Weiner
Film Programme
Weiner has engaged language as art from his pioneering installation  
works to his new digital projects. Passage to the North revolves  
around a reverse dialogue taken from Ibsen. Domestic scenes of  
inquisition and conflict are astutely intercut with image and text.  
His recent videos combine animation, drawing, text and video footage  
into works that recontextualise the everyday, invoke new grammars and  
address the precarious relationship between knowledge, perception and  
language.
Passage to the North, (US 1981, video, 17mins) Wild Blue Yonder, (US  
2002, video, 15mins) Sink or Swim, (US 2003, video, 18mins) Inherent  
in the Rhumb Line (US 2005, silent, video, 7mins)
£5.50/3.50 concs & Whitechapel members.

Thu 16 March, 7pm
Memory, secrecy, speculation
A programme in which language and images-as-evidence become suspect.  
Assumption is a virtuosic personal tribute, a glimpse at history and  
a celebration of independent film culture. Perfect Film is just that  
– a complete reel of found footage of interviews with witnesses to  
the assassination of Malcolm X. The Speculative Archive examine  
secrecy in our time of heightened security; the ‘disappearance’ of a  
former CIA source, the burial at sea of six Soviet sailors and a  
missile strike on Yemen in 2002.
Assumption, Peter Gidal (UK 1997, 16mm, 1min)
Perfect Film, Ken Jacobs (US 1986, 16mm, 22mins)
It’s not my memory of it: three recollected documents, The  
Speculative Archive (US 2003, video, 25mins)
£5.50/3.50 concs & Whitechapel members.

2 – 10 March
The Artists Cinema at Arnolfini, Bristol
The Artists Cinema is a short season of film and video works that  
focus on the increasing importance of cinema as a mode of exhibition  
for artists. A Frieze Projects/ LUX collaboration originally  
presented during the Frieze Art Fair in October 2005, The Artists  
Cinema includes new film commissions and a series of special  
programmes presented by international curators.

The Unnamable at Lounge Gallery, London
