Introduction to the LUX archive – with Herb Shellenberger

This short introductory course will help familiarise participants with the LUX Archive, a wide-ranging, international collection of over 7,000 works of artist moving image developed since the founding of the London Film-Makers’ Co-operative in 1966. We will explore how the archive has grown and changed over the years, in particular focusing on its relevance to artists, curators and researchers today, as well as examine ways to search through the archive to find works that are overlooked and rarely-seen. A selection of works will be shown that will illuminate these points of discussion and reflect different approaches to researching in the collection.
