To launch the exhibition BL CK B X: Mary Helena Clark on Friday 18 May from 6pm to 8pm, Clark will screen a selection of her short films followed by a conversation with George Clark. The opening runs from 6pm, with the screening at 7pm.

Programme:
Sound over Water (2009, 6 min)
Blue sky and blue sea meet on emulsion.
Delphi Falls (2016, 19 min)
Testing the limits of identification with the camera’s point of view, Delphi Falls cycles through multiple subjectivities, misusing traditional narrative conventions – the suggestion of a story, the anchoring of actors as characters – and has the viewer constantly questioning who or what they are.

Mary Helena Clark lives and works in New York, USA. Her work has recently been exhibited at Künstlerhaus Stuttgart, Germany, JOAN, Los Angeles, Kadist, San Francisco, the 2017 Whitney Biennial, New York, Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma, Finland, e- flux, New York, NY, Contemporary Art Centre, Vilnius, Lithuania, Grazer Kunstverein, Graz, Austria, Laura Bartlett Gallery, London, UK, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, and at festivals including the International Film Festival Rotterdam, the New York Film Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival, and the Hong Kong International Film Festival.
