Art Theory: Art and the Moving Image: Some Histories and Legacies

3 day course
1, 8 & 15 June
What draws sculptors, painters, poets, performers and writers to experiment with the moving image? Taking inspiration from Francizska and Stefan Themerson’s pioneering experiments with film, this short course explores some of the ways in which the avant-garde, alongside more recent artists, have responded to film and video.
The first and third session takes place at Camden Arts Centre. The second takes place at LUX. Find out more information here.
