VIDEOCLUB : remembered/forgotten
A selection of international work from videoclub’s most recent call for artists’
moving image. All the works selected focus upon auto/semi/biographical content
that has been made by filmmakers who are using artists’ moving image to approach
their subject matter, rather than straight documentary format. Fleeting glimpses,
broken narratives and the use of image over language reveals the structure of memory
and recall, as a fragmented, and re-narrated/imagined phenomenon, as opposed to
a simple narrative line.
Artists showing work are: Juliette Buss, Yin-Ju Chen, Aikaterini Gegisian, Ana Husman,
Esther Johnson, Gazelle Samizay and Grace Schwindt

12 Oct at 3pm - videoclub : Fragments
Fragments and distortions, filters and reappropriated imagery comprise this surprising
collection of moving image works. Found footage and original recordings are dispersed
with twisting narratives. Bare and latent concepts, and intertwining philosophies appear
to comment on violence, consumerism, and other fragmented human actions.
Broken repetitions in The Horror and Ozymandias are unsettling whilst poetic, whereas
FIXC’s and Nilsson’s films provide us with octane-driven feasts that comment on consumerism
and our fixation with popular culture.
Artists include: Sandra Lim, Dave Griffiths, Paul Gittins, Jonas Nilsson, Guli Silberstein,
Anders Weberg and FIXC.

perfect for screening films. Follow the tour and see excellent, new short films in
surprising spots around the city. You will probably want warm clothes and possibly an umbrella.

"The project A Wall is a Screen takes advantage of the nightly downtime in the
vitality of the downtown area. It is a combination of a guided city tour and a film
night. The group of participants walks through downtown and stops at bright walls
where short films of various genres are shown. After the end of one film, the group
continues on to the next wall and film". - From A Wall is a Screen's website.
