JUL/AUG – A Study of the Relationships between Inner and Outer Space/  
David Lamelas (1969, 20 min)
  “A Study of the Relationships between Inner and Outer Space was  
produced for the exhibition Environments Reversal at Camden Arts  
Centre in London, radically using the exhibition budget for a film  
production that documented the exhibition context as well as  
participating in it. After a series of shots analysing the  
rudimentary architectural components of the gallery space, the camera  
trains itself on a series of interviews with gallery staff, including  
a curator, a Jamaican guard, and a female clerk. The seemingly  
innocent monologues quickly betray the subtext of daily institutional  
life: submission, surveillance and authority. The course of the film  
eventually circles out of the gallery and into the urban framework of  
London, providing statistical information that takes the measure of  
city life and its infrastructure at the time.” Stuart Comer in  
Afterall (2005)

SCREENINGS AND EVENTS

Thursday 19 July 7.30pm, Whitechapel Gallery, London.
LUX and Whitechapel present  New Work UK: You and Me curated by Polly  
Staple
Pablo Bronstein, Bonnie Camplin, Keren Cytter, Jaki Irvine, Hilary  
Lloyd, Lucy Skaer, Cathy Wilkes
The programme consists of a selection of works made between 1996 and  
2007 across a range of film media. A number of the artists are not  
primarily filmmakers and they bring a range of disparate influences  
to their exploration of film and video’s ability to play with space,  
time and sound. Two artists not based in the UK are included - Keren  
Cytter and Jaki Irvine - as evidence of a shared set of concerns that  
construct a dialogue beyond the terms ‘new’ and ‘British’.  The  
intention with the programme is to create a specific atmosphere, a  
proposal for a cinematic experience. The works eschew easy  
categorisation revealing tensions between documentary and staged  
performance, fictitious narrative and enigmatic portraiture, aura and  
presence, memory and image. The domestic and a low-key approach to  
production characterises the selection. The use of varying linguistic  
registers and editing techniques creates a distinct rhythm and pace:  
a precise choreography focussing on the spaces between people and  
things, an abundance of melancholic posturing and charged silences.  
The programme explores how we construct and communicate personalities  
- both private and public, intimate and absurd - the power of  
iconography, subject-hood, the object-ness of objects, the  
materiality of film, something between the hand and the eye, the gap  
between you and me.
The programme lasts approximately 30 minutes and will be shown twice  
with an interval for discussion. http://www.whitechapel.org
