5. LUX NEWS
NEW ON LUXONLINE
Harold Offeh
'At its heart, Offeh's artwork is a practice that is playful and
deceptively light of touch. He's a dancer, a smiler, a Mammy, and an
Afrofuturist Angela Davis in drag (aptly named Mangela Davis). And
these strategies, whether personae or collaborations--allow Offeh to
consistently be within the work, having a direct engagement to the
camera, and in turn to the audience.
Kim Dhillon on Harold Offeh, Luxonline profile.
http://www.luxonline.org.uk/artists/harold_offeh/index.html
Chris Welsby
Chris Welsby's work 'acknowledges our changing relationship to the
environment, drawing on twentieth century science and art-practice to
re-define the idea of Landscape with a relevance to our own times.'
David Curtis on Chris Welsby, Luxonline Profile.

SCREENINGS AND EVENTS
2 – 30 May
THE SUBJECTIVE CAMERA at Greenwich Picturehouse, London
The Subjective Camera is a series of retrospective film screenings of
six film artists whose work examines subjectivity with an analysis of
film language. Emerging within the context of the London Filmmakers’
Co-op during the ‘80s and ‘90s, these artists each developed an
independent practice that at once built on and countered the
principles of the Structuralist film movement of the ‘70s. Their
films extend anti-illusionist explorations of the materiality of film
and incorporate investigations of the materiality of the body. With
their shared history, that situates the artist at the centre of the
physical process of putting the film together, sometimes as camera
person as well as editor, these six artists weave into the filmmaking
process a broad scope of contemporary concerns, from religion to
psychoanalysis, the spaces of abstraction, voice, language and song,
to the dialogue between personal and meta-narrative. http://

'...the coming together of the elements and apparatus that make film,
whether sound and picture, projector and screen, or coloured lights
meeting to make white light; in parallel with the collision of the
real and everyday against the miraculous that film effects'

performances. Including work by Thomas Bayrle, Bonnie Camplin, Morgan
Fisher, John Smith, Apitchatpong Weerasethakul and performances by
Sue Tompkins and Will Holder.
Select is a LUX/ Tate collaboration inviting British artists to

24rd May – 24th June
OPENING Wednesday 23rd May 6 – 9pm
INVISIBLE MEND at Lounge, 28 Shacklewell Lane, London, E8 2EZ
Chrissy Coscioni, VALIE EXPORT, Emma Hart & Benedict Drew, Jasmina
Fekovic, Ursula Mayer, James Richards, Jonty Semper, Elizabeth Subrin.
Since the beginning of the twentieth century artists making moving
images have exploited industrial cinema as ‘found’ images to be
reinterpreted, manipulated and represented as art. Invisible Mend, a
group show of mainly young artists, presents a collection of works
that seem to strategise in a similar way while actually drawing their
material from radically different sources, simulating the look of
the ‘found’ or exploring as much a set of radical (over)
identifications with their subjects as a set of formal, political or
historical questions. The works vary wildly in their aesthetics but
what they have in common is an exploitation of the invisible:
refutations of the permissible in the name of personal or political
expression, a rewriting of history and to travel through time and
space, through imaginary forays against and within dominant culture,
escaping into new landscapes of desire. Criticality is manifested
through an ebullience that replaces strict analysis with intuition,
an interplay of emotional registers and often a disarming sense of
celebration. As well as the exhibition at Lounge, Invisible Mend
extends into a series of events throughout June. Invisible Mend is
curated by Ian White and LUX. http://www.lux.org.uk/invisiblemend
Wednesday 23rd May 7pm
Real Institute in association with LUX present 'Shoot, Shoot, Shoot!
Expanded Cinema' at Wrexham Arts Centre, North Wales.

Potter, 1971), Diagonal (William Raban, 1973), Hand Grenade (Gill
Eatherley, 1971), Light Music (Lis Rhodes, 1975-77), Line Describing
a Cone (Anthony McCall, 1973). Curated by Mark Webber. http://

Wednesday 30th May 7pm for 7.30pm start
INVISIBLE MEND SALON: SHULIE
On the occasion of the Invisible Mend exhibition, LUX Salon takes the
opportunity to screen Elizabeth Subrin’s SHULIE in a female only
study salon.
Subrin resurrected a little-known 1967 documentary portrait of a
young Chicago art student, Shulamith Firestone, who a few years later
would become a notable figure in Second Wave feminism and the author
of the radical 1970 manifesto, The Dialectic of Sex: The Case for
Feminist Revolution. Subrin’s version re-creates the original, shot
for shot, and in the process arcs 40 years of feminisim. Using the
film as a catalyst to form a discussion group we will look at the
issues that resonate through the film; about identity, the
construction of histories and how they reflect on the current
interest in feminist work and assess the significance. Facilitated by
Jackie Holt and Emma Hedditch. LUX Salon takes place at LUX office,
3rd Floor, 18 Shacklewell Lane, London, E8 2EZ. Admission Free but
places are very limited so pre-booking is required, to book a place
