4. PUBLISHING

Margaret Tait, Selected Films 1952 – 1976.
LUX is pleased to announce the release of a new DVD collection of key  
films by Occadian poet and filmmaker Margaret Tait, produced from  
newly restored prints and available for the first time on DVD.
Margaret Tait was one of Britain's most unique and individual artist  
filmmakers. Over the course of 46 years she produced over 30 films  
including one feature, Blue Black Permanent (1992) and published five  
books of poetry and short stories, while living between the Island of  
Orkney and Edinburgh. Margaret described her life's work as  
consisting of making film-poems. She often quoted Lorca's phrase of  
'stalking the image' to define her philosophy and method, the idea  
that if you look at an object closely enough it will speak its nature  
This clarity of vision and purpose with an attention to simple  
commonplace subjects combined with a rare sense of inner rhythm and  
pattern give her films a transcendental quality, while still  
remaining firmly rooted within the everyday. Margaret once said of  
her films, with characteristic modesty, that they are born of 'of  
sheer wonder and astonishment at how much can be seen in any place  
that you choose...if you really look'.
DVD contains the following films: Portrait of Ga (1952), Aerial  
(1974), Hugh MacDiarmid: A Portrait (1964), Where I am is Here  
(1964), Place of Work (1976), Tailpiece (1976), John Macfadyen  
(1970). Available from LUX SHOP http://www.lux.org.uk/shop/video.htm

A History of Video Art. The Development of Form and Function, Chris  
Meigh-Andrews. Book published by Berg in the UK. A History of Video  
Art is a critical introduction and guide to artists' video. It covers  
the period from the early 1960s - when video art first appeared as a  
distinctive medium - into the 1990s - when digital technology merged  
video's distinctive practice with that of independent film-making and  
photography. This artistic history is also a technological and a  
cultural history. A History of Video Art also sets its analysis of  
artistic practice firmly within the context of both the development  
of electronic imaging technology and the changing political and  
social climate. ISBN 1845202198
