5. LUX NEWS
Dr Jackie Hatfield 1962 - 2007
We’re sorry to report the death of artist and academic Jackie
Hatfield who was passionately involved with artists’ film and video
for a number of years. We at LUX will miss her extraordinary energy
and commitment to this area of practice, one which she made
considerable contributions to through her own research. Most recently
she worked on the Rewind project mapping British video practice in
the 1970s and 80s, and many of her interviews with artists can be
seen at http://www.rewind.ac.uk/ She wrote about the project for LUX
here http://kmi.lux.org.uk/casestudies/resistdefinition.htm as well
as contributing a personal tour for Luxonline http://
www.luxonline.org.uk/tours/recomposing_the_universe(1).html
ONLINE EXHIBITION Dec/Jan. The Eye and the Ear, Stefan and Franciszka
Themerson (1944/5)
http://www.luxvideo.org/media/films/exhibition.html
To mark the publication of the LUX/ CCA Warsaw DVD The Films of
Stefan and Franciszka Themerson we present
The Eye and the Ear (1944/5) 'In films made in Poland in the 1930s,
the Themersons had experimented with shadowplay and moving
'rayograms' (photographs taken without a camera, associated with Man
Ray). The Eye and the Ear , made later in London, takes these ideas
further, exploring patterns made by passing light through lenses. The
film suggests analogies between the movement of light and the music
of Karol Szymanowski.' David Curtis

THE WORLD OF THE SELF / OUR WORLD
The films of Adam Curtis
Whitechapel Gallery, London http://www.whitechapel.org
Presented in collaboration with LUX
Adam Curtis is one of the best-known documentary filmmakers in
Britain. His films have won numerous awards including 6 Baftas and
have been shown at festivals around the world. They fuse together
hard critical journalism with techniques borrowed from a wide-range
of experimental film and video techniques.
Out of this he has created a body of work that examines how power
functions in modern society – not just in politics but also in many
of the institutions and activities that permeate our lives today –
from science to consumerism, modern psychology and the way our
society fights terrorism.
Over this unique weekend programmed by Adam Curtis a cross-section of
episodes from various series that span his career propose a stunning
argument. Considered together these works tell a bigger story than
that of their specific subjects. It is the story of our time. How we
have moved into a world that is dominated and driven by the ideas,
the dreams and the emotional needs and cravings of the individual self.

of contemporary journalism.
