LUX ONLINE EXHIBITION. August/September. Guerrillere Talks, Vivienne Dick (1978) 'Dick's first film, consists of eight unedited rolls of super-8 sound footage. A chorus of red and white Kodak leader separates the individual rolls, each of which is a sort of screen test for Dick's female subjects (most of whom are or were associated with the punk music scene)...Guerillere Talks can be seen as the extension of Warholian pragmatism to super-8 talkies. However, by juxtaposing various examples of female self-definition against the backdrop of a decaying social order, the film is also the rehearsal and paradigm for Dick's subsequent work.' Jim Hoberman, October issue 20, Spring 1982

2 October - 1 November 2008
Correspondence, Auguste Orts
LUX 28, 28 Shacklewell Lane, London E8 2EZ www.lux28.org.uk
Opening Times Wednesday - Saturday 12-6. admission free
Auguste Orts is a Brussels-based collective of four artists – Herman Asselberghs, Sven Augustijnen, Manon de Boer and Anouk De Clercq – who all work predominately with the moving image. They describe their practice as '...at the crossroads of cinema, video, visual arts, documentaries, experimental films... where media and disciplines cross-fertilize each other.'
At LUX 28 they will install video library and reading area for the public to explore the group's work, influences and interests. To further elucidate their ideas the group will enter a correspondance during the summer and these letters will be available in the reading area. Films, books and other sources mentioned in the letters, will be on display and will complete the dialogue. Alongside the video library and reading room, the artists have asked Scanner to re-mix the soundtracks of their video work into a new composition. The resulting will be presented as a sound work in the exhibition space at LUX 28 and broadcast on Resonance FM and to open the exhibition there will be an accompanying screening at Tate Modern.

1 October 6.30pm: Screening of selected Auguste Orts films followed by artists in discussion.
Tate Modern, Starr Auditorium, Bankside, London SE1 9TG

20 October 8pm: Auguste Orts/Scanner broadcast on Resonance FM

CRAMI WEBSITE LAUNCH www.crami.org.uk
LUX is pleased to announce the launch of CRAMI (Curatorial Resource for Artists' Moving Image) a new website which aims to give a user-friendly and interpretive advice to curators, programme's and those interested in showing artists' work in a variety of contexts. The site seeks to address both the conceptual rationale behind selecting and presenting work, as well as more straightforward practical and technical advice on the many issues raised in this area. CRAMI was produced by George Clark for LUX in collaboration with the Independent Cinema Office and the British Artists’ Film and Video Study Collection.
