CONSTRUCTS is an exhibition of work by three emerging artists who graduated this year from across London’s undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses: Katie Hare, Callum Hill and Ellie Power.

Their work spans across HD video, CGI, gaming networks, installation, animation, found footage and 16mm film, with each artist’s diverse practice engaging with and utilising moving image in its many forms today. The works presented in this exhibition interrogate the constructs of the mediums themselves, the latent power they might hold, and examine their relationships to individual and collective cultural constructs.

CONSTRUCTS continues the partnership initiated in 2014 between Art Licks Weekend and LUX for the Moving Image programme of the festival. For the first time, this year’s programme will be presented at LUX as the inaugural exhibition at the organisation’s new home in Waterlow Park, Highgate.
