LUX MRES Public Lecture: TV Studio Experiments: Past, Present, Future
Maeve Connolly and Lucy Reynolds discuss the changing significance of the TV studio as a location, site and setting for moving image practice. While artists such as Gerard Byrne, Celine Condorelli, Olivia Plender and Stefanos Tsivopoulos have highlighted outmoded aspects of broadcasting’s material, institutional and social architectures, others – including Auto Italia South East – have identified TV studio-style environments as potentially important contexts for collaboration, now and in the future. The conversation will be interspersed with screenings of works by Stan VanDerBeek and John Hoppy Hopkins, from the LUX collection.

LUX Mres Art: Moving Image Public Lecture Series is an ongoing series of presentations by key thinkers on contemporary moving image practice sponsored by the LUX / Central Saint Martins Mres Art: Moving Image programme
 
Mres Art: Moving Image
Over the past two decades, artists’ moving image has proven itself a dynamic and thriving area of art practice, to be encountered in the gallery, museum, cinema auditorium, and a host of other unexpected venues. But what about the rich and fascinating histories, theories and aesthetics that have led to artists turn to film and video? And what insights can a study of artists’ moving image offer us for understanding the diverse practices that now fill art spaces internationally as well as in the UK? A unique collaboration between LUX and Central St Martins College of Art has created a research led masters degree to address these questions lead by Dr Lucy Reynolds. The Mres Art: Moving Image programme is now open for applications for 2015/16 For more information see CSM website or contact Lucy Reynolds directly at [email protected]. Lucy will be happy to take any inquiries on the MRes course at the event as well.
