Repertoire

Performance has played a major role within the history of artist's film and video, the works included in this programme all draw upon the language of theatre, using scripts and/or choreographed movement, costumes, sets and props, mining the possibilities of theatricality.

Repertoire features works by Mike Kelly, Joan Jonas, Catherine Sullivan and Gerard Byrne.

You Made Me Love You

Artists include Phil Collins, Michael Curran, Frances Hegarty, Matthias Müller and Christophe Giradet and Grace Ndiritu.

Sound Cycles

Curated by film-maker Mika Taanila Sound Cycles consists of six audiovisual works, which deal with the idea of re-cycling found audio elements. Our daily environment is flooded with sounds amplified by the media, but very rarely there's a chance to stop and listen carefully.

Includes works by Christian Marclay, Ian Helliwell, Juha vanIngen, Janet Merewether and Mark Boswell.

Persistence of Memory

the works in Persistence of Memory all have some political, social, cultural, or historical referent but use narrative to shift the viewers' experience of ‘documentary' cinema.

Featuring works by Józef Robakowski, Thando Mama, Yervant Gianikian and Angela Ricci Lucchi and Pavel Braila.

From The Inside
