2pm – 5pm

B35 Malet Street, Birkbeck London WC1E 7HX
Still from Lucy Parker's Apologies, 2016.

This series of Master Classes aims to present a wide variety of approaches to the artistic production of ideas in audio-visual form.  We are inviting performance artists and moving image makers whose work (written, performed, filmed) manifests theoretical innovation.  The latter part of the 20th century produced body of Anglo-American writing and work that are recognised today as canonical as with Hollis Frampton, Maya Deren, Peter Gidal for example.  With this series we want to produce a sample of this kind of interplay between ideas and creating that are underway today.  In so doing, we hope to open the field of play between theory and works to create new conversations.
Please join us for an artist Master Class with Lucy Parker, who will talk about her recently completed documentary Solidarity which will premiere at Sheffield International Documentary Film Festival in June.
Performing Theory is conceived and convened by Prof. Rachel Moore (Goldsmiths) for CHASE in collaboration with BIMI and LUX.
PLEASE NOTE: this lecture is not taking place at Birkbeck Cinema as other lectures in the series but at B35 Malet Street.
