no.w.here Seminars - Measures Series with Ian White
Date: 07 September - 26 October
"Artists film and video is an unstable category. As such it contains multiple histories that shift dependent on the teller. 6 or more kinds of theatre maps some points on just one of these multiple histories. We can accept it or reject it. It is not the presentation of a thesis, but an invitation to speculate, equally questioning the implications and contexts of its material. It is informed by the still uncharted relationship between artists' film and video and the live in art, a consideration of the period before cinema became an established label, artist's own invocation and engagement with different models of theatre and my own interests as an artist working predominantly in performance.
"Each seminar will assume an experimental form that relates to the topic being discussed, focusing on a single film or a body work and a specific model of theatre through which the work is read. The series includes work by Peter Gidal, Michael Snow, Kurt Kren, Yvonne Rainer, Sharon Lockhart, Emily Wardill, Ursula Mayer and the models of theatres proposed by Brecht, Racine, Artaud, Judson Church, Russian Constructvism and the museum-garden-theatre that Dan Graham writes about".
