BRISTOL MEAN TIME 2009 ARTIST ANNOUNCED

Rachel Reupke has been announced as the recipient of the Film London Artists' Moving Image Network (FLAMIN) and Picture This 2009 Bristol Mean Time* residency. Reupke will be working at the Atelier space in Bristol from July to September 2009. During this time she will develop a new work provisionally titled Purple/Brown, which will subsequently be shown in Picture This' exhibition space.

Purple/Brown will take as its central focus the sanitised visual language of commercial stock footage to construct an alternative reality; rendering props, performance, emotional and technical content democratically equal.

Rachel Reupke's video works examine the mediation of human experience through technology, employing a variety of delivery systems including cinematic special effects, webcams and camera obscura. Future prediction and the act of visualisation are also strong threads that run through the work.

The Bristol Mean Time residency offers a London-based artist film-maker the chance to develop new moving image work, providing the selected artist with access to full production, post-production and exhibition technology, studio and office space at Picture This.

* Until the dawn of the railways local time for the people of Bristol was 10 minutes faster than Greenwich Mean Time, based on the city's latitudinal position relative to the Greenwich Meridian Line in London . To this day the clock over the old Corn Exchange in Bristol has two minute hands. The black minute hand shows Greenwich Mean Time while the red minute hand shows Bristol time.
