12 – 4pm
LUX
Film still from Stan Brakhage's The Garden of Earthly Delights, 1981. 

LUX will be taking part in Lark in the Park, a fête marking the 125th anniversary of the opening of Waterlow Park, its new home in North London. The day is inspired by Stan Brakhage’s classic film The Garden of Earthly Delights (1981), which will be shown throughout the day, created without the use of a camera by pasting montane zone vegetation, such as petals, grasses and leaves, onto strips of clear film leader. Artist Vicky Smith will be running a drop in family workshop to produce a collective film portrait of the park produced from vegetation and other things foraged in Waterlow Park, Highgate’s ‘garden for the gardenless’.
Vicky Smith co-founded Bristol Experimental Expanded Film (BEEF), an artist run film workshop geared around critical enquiry and skill sharing. She teaches at the University for the Creative Arts, Farnham in the School of Fine Art.
