  • Jennifer Reeves: When It Was Blue - Selected Works 1992-2022

    “No doubt the fragile stuff of film, made newly strange in an age of immaterial electronic images, encourages the contemplation of change and chance, birth and death; such notions are registered through utterly physical means by Reeves in the fractal cracks of distressed pigment that adorn some of her hand-edited frames, or the tidal flows of thick, opalescent paint, sometimes dotted with stellar bubbles of captured air, that wash across other moments.”
    — Ed Halter, Artforum

  • Lisl Ponger - Semiotische Geister / Semiotic Ghosts

    Lisl Ponger is a visual artist, working at the interface of art, art history and ethnology. Her works dismantle cultural stereotypes and challenge the power of images about others. In the decades of her work with photography, film and installation, the artist has consistently developed a characteristic "Pongerish perspective" on the world. Her pictorial constructions are invariably also deconstructions of dominant scopic regimes that operate in the interstitial spaces between art, society and politics.

  • Annette Michelson and the Radical Aspiration in American Avant-Garde Cinema

    This critical anthology of newly commissioned essays by established and emerging scholars examines the work and legacy of Annette Michelson (1922–2018), pioneering critic and theorist of avant-garde cinema. Michelson’s insights transformed our understanding of cinema through her provocative and profoundly original analyses. As a contributor and editor for Artforum in the 1960s and early 1970s, then founding editor of the journal October, Michelson defined the terms of moving image art and its relation to painting, sculpture, and performance.

  • BOOM! The Exploding Cinema Book

    BOOM! is the secret history of the Exploding Cinema told by its key activists.  And in particular it is the history of the Exploding Collective, a unique experiment in total democracy, open access, collective ownership and voluntary action. For the last 3 decades, this unfunded gang of radical cinema activists have been staging regular monthly open access nights of short D.I.Y. underground film in pubs, clubs and squats across London; turning shabby interiors into temporary convivial utopias that seethe with multiple moving projections.

  • Glitching the 'Machine Artist'

    “a blueprint for critical resistance and aesthetic defiance in the face of digital capitalism and a rising new age”    — Laila Shereen Sakr/ VJ Um Amel

    Fear of the ‘machine artist’ reflects a deep cultural anxiety about industrialization, shaped by unresolved conflicts over automation and its potential to supplant human artists. Automated machinery represents both a technical development and a social paradigm that redefines labor, authorship, and creativity itself.

  • Richard Kerr - Crisis Collision Resolve

    Through the course of the 1980s, Canadian artist-filmmaker Richard Kerr had gradually moved towards an ‘accelerated cinema,’ an imagistic cinema of movement, montage and aggressive sound design. Kerr’s work in this ‘accelerated cinema’ became increasingly total at the same time that he became invested in the model of the ‘teacher-practitioner,’ collaborating directly with his students and working with simple, accessible tools.
