    The Working Men’s Club, 44-46 Pollard Row, E2 6NB, London.
    Ticket: £5/£3 Close-Up members
    Doors open at 7.45 pm
    Presented by Close-Up and Transidency

    This season of films have been curated in conjunction with the Artist’s collective, Transidency, whose latest show entitled UNDER/OVER runs at the FOLD Gallery during April 2010.

    The programme aims to complement the themes investigated in UNDER/OVER, as well as to draw out the comparisons between the films themselves which collectively act as a body of enquiry into those same themes which include; [self & enforced] mythologising, ridiculous labour, over work/under work and the in-between, an ongoing investigation into the deceptive quality of the Earth’s iconography and the spaces of war.

    Andrew Kotting’s ‘psychogeographical’ experiment conducted along the highways, byways and waterways of the River Thames. From Southend-on-Sea to the Houses of Parliament, Kotting’s ‘Road Movie’ of sorts see this stretch of this our fair isle though the eyes of those who work and inhabit it, but ultimately though the eyes of Kotting himself.

    Leading London writers and cultural commentators Will Self, Iain Sinclair and Russell Brand explore the importance of the liminal spaces at the city’s fringe, it’s Edgelands, through the work of enigmatic and downright eccentric writer and researcher Nick Papadimitriou - a man whose life is dedicated to exploring and archiving areas beyond the permitted territories of the high street, the retail park, the suburban walkways.
    Followed by a discussion with John Rogers and Nick Papadimitriou.

  • Retrospectiva Adolpho Arrietta V

    By on

    - Kiki. España, 1989. 23 min.
    Luis Eduardo Aute propuso a Arrietta realizar un episodio para la serie televisiva Delirios de amor, y él decidió adaptar La Chatte, de Colette: la historia de una mujer, un hombre y la gata de éste.
    El tema del amor, el sexo y los celos se presta a lo trágico y a todo lo contrario, y la virtud de esta película reside en mostrar ambas perspectivas en paralelo.
