As part of our recent project around Amos Vogel's book Film as a Subversive Art, we asked artist/curator Shezad Dawood for his thoughts on the book and on the idea of subversion in the moving image.
Listen to Dawood in conversation with curator Jenine McGaughran, and watch a playlist (below and on the LUX YouTube channel) with clips of some of the films discussed in the podcast interview (eg, Frans Zwartjes' Visual Training, Robert Downey, Sr.'s Putney Swope and more).
LUX podcasts include interviews, discussions and features related to artists working with film and video. Look for our Podcasts in the iTunes Music Store

Shezad Dawood was born in London in 1974 and was trained at Central St Martin’s and the Royal College of Art before undertaking a PhD at Leeds Metropolitan University. He works across a broad spectrum of media and his works have since been exhibited in numerous solo and group shows in the UK, including the Whitechapel Gallery, the Tate Modern and the ICA, as well as internationally in Europe, the USA, Australia and India. He has initiated diverse public and ‘off-site’ projects in the UK, Italy and India, and has devised and managed large-scale projects of intervention in London and Pakistan. Much of Shezad’s practice involves curating and collaboration, frequently working with established artists, curators and critics to create unique networks of critically engaged practitioners. Currently he lives and works in London.
Shezad Dawood's works are available through the LUX Collection
