Other Surfaces - Screening Event

About

VANESSA BILLY, LLOYD CORPORATION, DAVID COTTERRELL, TOM DALE, CLARE GOODWIN/PAUL HARPER, LEE MAELZER, SAM PORRITT, MAGALI REUS, JOHN STRUTTON Curated by Rebecca Geldard Screening event: Wednesday 1 February, screening at 7.30pm Exhibition continues: 13 January — 11 February 2012 The artists participating in ‘Other Surfaces', a single-projection show-reel of short films and videos, are essentially known for materially hands-on approaches to making. While there are some obvious points of connection, it's unlikely they would ever be shown together as a group of object and mark makers. Yet, however diverse each individual line of enquiry, all appear to use video as a research tool as much as a recording device: a means of finding other ways around the issues of representing ideas with things. This exhibition, sat somewhere between the screening and the group show, offers a quiet space in which to consider what these artists do, both behind and life-side of the lens.
