Film - Thursday 12 Nov, The Studio, 4pm

Coming up in our weekly film slot is The Order from Matthew Barney's Cremaster 3.

(Due to crits and tutorials in the studio next week, this film is scheduled for Thursday 12 Nov).

Matthew Barney's legendary CREMASTER CYCLE was hailed by the New York Times as "An inspired benchmark of ambition, scope and forthright provocation for art in the new century". Nine years in the making, the five films that comprise the CREMASTER CYCLE came to a brilliant grand finale with a 31 minute sequence at the close of CREMASTER 3 called "THE ORDER".

As the film is only 31 minutes long if anyone has another film they would like to show as well, please bring it along.

film slot update

hi all

we managed to show a film in the studio on friday. it was fun but friday evenings are maybe not the best time if we want more people to take part.

next week we will have to move it to wednesday (sorry part-timers).

if you are interested in showing anything screen based let me or joel know or just post it on this site on the monday of the week that you want to show the film.

look forward to seeing your choice of film.

Dave Hullfish Bailey & Nils Norman: Surrounded by Squares

I managed to get to the current exhibition, 'Surrounded By Squares', at Raven Row this weekend, it runs until November 1st and I highly recommend you take a trip down. I ended up spending a healthy chunk of my afternoon there in the end and through some discussion, with a friend, the staff and a visiting architecture class (even one of the artists himself at one point), I felt we uncovered some real depth in what to me was an exciting, considered and well executed show.

To start the blog ball rolling, here is a video of a work I saw at Flowers Gallery last year. A collaboration between artist Max Dean and mechanical engineer Raffaello D'Andrea.
