SCREENINGS AND EVENTS

14 November - 19 December 2008
Steve Reinke: Hobbit Love is the Greatest Love
LUX 28, 28 Shacklewell Lane, Dalston, London E8
Opening hours: 12 - 5, Wednesday - Friday. 12 - 6, Saturday
Other times by appointment, please ring 020 7503 3980.
Preview: Thurs 13th November 7 -9pm
LUX 28 presents a new solo exhibition by Canadian artist Steve Reinke.
Steve Reinke is a Canadian artist best known for his video work.  
Often outrageous, yet nonetheless engaging and even titillating, his  
themes range from introspective anxiety to bemused and appreciative  
voyeurism. Reinke’s voice is articulate and literate and often speaks  
in the voice of academic or cultural authority. His work diverges  
into absurd, unexpected directions — paradoxes, non-sequiturs,  
inadequate hypotheses, cruel jokes, and contorted metaphors –  
delivered in Reinke’ inimitably laconic and dispassionate tones.
Reinke’s work also often invokes the idea of the anthology, along  
with the taxonomical urge to exhaustively catalogue existence. The  
exhibition at LUX 28 will present a kind of anthology of Reinke’s  
video work to date. This will include the ambitious project, The  
Hundred Videos (1989-1996), a six-year project Reinke stated would  
constitute his work as a young artist, and recent works such as My  
Rectum is Not a Grave (To a Film Industry in Crisis) (2007), Boy/ 
Analysis: An Abridgement of Melanie Klein’s ‘Narrative of a Child  
Analysis (2008) and Final Thoughts, an ongoing series that will only  
be completed at the moment of Reinke’s death. Alongside projected  
works and an extensive video library the exhibition will also present  
a number of his wall pieces including The American Military  
Casualties of the Second Gulf War for Whom Photographs Were Available  
as of November 6, 2006 Arranged by Attractiveness and Guernica.  
Reinke’s disquieting combination of light and playful monologues,  
laced with an acid humour, prods and pokes at the sub-conscious  
underbelly of everyday life.

Saturday 15th November at 3pm
Artist Talk: Steve Reinke in conversation with Adrian Rifkin,  
Professor of Fine Art, Goldsmiths College
Admission free, to book email salon at lux.org.uk
