Another Decade (Morgan Quaintance, 2018)

Join us at LUX Waterlow Park Centre for a masterclass delivered in partnership with CHASE as part of a series that presents a wide variety of approaches to the artistic production of ideas in audio-visual form.  This special edition of Performing Theory features BL CK B X artist Morgan Quaintance.

The latter part of the 20th century produced a body of Anglo-American writing and work that are recognised today as canonical, such works, for example, including Hollis Frampton, Maya Deren, Peter Gidal. The Performing Theory series aims to produce a sample of this kind of interplay, between ideas and creation that are underway today.  In so doing, the hope is to open the field of play between theory and works to create new conversations.
This series of Masterclasses aims to present a wide variety of approaches to the artistic production of ideas in audio-visual form.
CHASE invites performance artists and moving image makers whose work (written, performed, filmed) manifests theoretical innovation.
Performing Theory is conceived and convened by Prof. Rachel Moore (Goldsmiths) in collaboration with BIMI and LUX.

Morgan Quaintance is a London-based artist and writer. His moving-image work has been shown recently at KARST, Plymouth, LIMA Amsterdam, Kunstmuseum Bonn, Jerwood Space London, the 14th Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival, London Film Festival 2018, November Film Festival, the Palace International Film Festival, and Videonale.17.

CHASE brings together 9 leading institutions engaged in collaborative research activities including an AHRC doctoral training partnership. These are the Universities of East Anglia, Essex, Kent and Sussex, the Open University, The Courtauld Institute of Art, Goldsmiths, University of London, Birkbeck, University of London and SOAS, University of London.
Central to CHASE’s  ethos is that serious disciplinary research is interdisciplinary. Across the arts and humanities, the consortium studies periods, cultures and communities where modern disciplinary boundaries simply did not and do not exist. Equally, to this CHASE considers emergent or less-established fields of study that require new forms of attention, practice and communication.
CHASE supports discipline-based projects, but also specialises in interdisciplinary research and research in emerging fields of study and creative practice. This research and training environment encourages doctoral researchers to develop new methodologies. The consortium’s network of partnerships with leading organisations in the creative and public sectors provide an outstanding resource for future CHASE scholars.
