SCREENINGS AND EVENTS

18 – 28 September 2008
Stephan Dillemuth – Selected Films
LUX 28, 28 Shacklewell Lane, Dalston, London E8 http://www.lux28.org.uk
Opening hours: 12 - 6, Wednesday - Saturday
Free entry

A rare opportunity to see the recent films of Munich-based artist  
Stephan Dillemuth presented for the first time with English subtitles.
Curated by Anja Kirschner.

Stephan Dillemuth is an artist who sees art as a tool for artistic  
research and critical reflection on the circumstances of contemporary  
life. His inquiry into recent changes in the idea of the public  
sphere takes place against the backdrop of our globalised, localised  
and fragmented publics. Considering the impact of ‘lifestyle’ as a  
new ideology of self-fulfilment and liberation, Stephan Dillemuth has  
investigated the German Lebensreform movements at the turn of the  
19th to the 20th century. Avoiding didactic explanations or direct  
comparisons with the present, Stephan Dillemuth’s work settles in the  
gap between a contemporary and a historical reading.

Opening event: Thursday 18 September 7pm,
Screening of Lichtmenschen im Sumpf der Sonne – Studien zur  
Lebensreform (2002) (Sunpeople in the Slush of the Light - Studies on  
the Reform of Life) followed by Q&A with Stephan Dillemuth

LUX 28, 28 Shacklewell Lane, Dalston, London E8
Opening hours: 12 - 6, Wednesday - Saturday
Preview: Thurs 2 October, 6-8pm
Free entry
Auguste Orts is a Brussels-based collective of four artists – Herman  
Asselberghs, Sven Augustijnen, Manon de Boer and Anouk De Clercq –  
who all work predominately with the moving image. They describe their  
practice as ‘…at the crossroads of cinema, video, visual arts,  
documentaries, experimental films… where media and disciplines cross- 
fertilize each other.’ At LUX 28 August Orts will install a video  
library and reading area for the public to explore the group’s work,  
influences and interests. To further elucidate their ideas the group  
will enter a correspondence during the summer and these letters will  
be available in the reading area. Films, books and other sources  
mentioned in the letters, will be on display and will complete the  
dialogue.

NEW TO LUXONLINE

September Vodcast: Sarah Pucill
http://www.luxonline.org.uk/vodcasts.html
The artist Sarah Pucill discusses the inspiration behind her films,  
from her early influences to current working practice.

New Artist: Keith Piper
http://www.luxonline.org.uk/artists/keith_piper/index.html
Keith Piper's richly layered and thought-provoking installations have  
been addressing questions of race and society since the early 1980s.  
An advocate of digital technology, he has used a number of different  
formats: from sculpture, collage, multi-screen installation, to the  
CD Rom and the internet to address the pressing issues of our times.  
Rachel Garfield's illuminating essay explores his relationship to  
earlier art movements. Clips and stills present an insight into a  
diverse range of works, including his most recent: Perfect City.

Featured Essay: Anne Rees Mogg - Profile by Nick Wadley
http://www.luxonline.org.uk/artists/anne_rees-mogg/essay(1).html
The art historian, and close friend of Anne Rees Mogg, Nick Wadley  
provides an insightful and poetic evocation of her films. He explores  
the relationship of Rees Mogg's films to passing time, particularly  
through her documents of friends and family.

September Tour: Shumon Basar, New Thoughts on Old Things
http://www.luxonline.org.uk/tours/new_thoughts(1).html
With Godard in mind, Shumon Basar peruses the Luxonline site, re- 
encountering favourite films and finding new pause for thought.  
Shumon Basar is a co-founder of the London based curatorial/design  
group Newbetter, who, since 2002, have worked on a number of  
international exhibitions (such as Can Buildings Curate) and  
collaborations with artists, film-makers and urbanists.

Online Exhibition:
Guerillere Talks (1978)
http://www.luxvideo.org/exhibition/guerillere_talks.html
Eight unedited rolls of super8 sound footage form a portrait of  
alternative New York at the end of the 1970s.
A chorus of red and white Kodak leader separates the individual  
rolls, each of which is a sort of screen test for female subjects  
(most of whom are or were associated with the punk music  
scene)...Guerillere Talks can be seen as the extension of Warholian  
pragmatism to super-8 talkies. Jim Hoberman

New Theme
http://www.luxonline.org.uk/themes/dance.html
Dance and rhythm have long provided inspiration for artists working  
with the moving image. This theme explores some of the examples that  
can be found on the Luxonline site.
