Artist in Residence

London based Artist Filmmaker Commission 2017

Updated: 22 August 2017

In partnership with the Barbican Centre in London we will be commissioning 1 London based artist filmmaker to join 6 other artists based between New York and London on a unique project. Each artist will create an original moving image work, between 10 - 20 minutes in length, in response to Basquiat: Boom for Real, the first major UK retrospective of work by legendary artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. Upon completion, their film will be paired with a composer/band/sound artist to create an accompanying live score to form one dynamic audio-visual work. The piece will be presented and live scored as part of the exhibition’s official closing event organised by Video Jam at the Barbican Hall on Sunday January 28th 2018.
