Nicky Hamlyn and Simon Payne present a programme of single-screen and expanded films and videos that explore colour field abstraction, grids, lines, shadows, holes and frames-within-frames that are often underpinned by repetitive, almost musical structuring. Payne's digital video works involve elementary transitions and alternating graphic forms that create spatial depths within the screen but also bounce back to affect the environment in which they're shown.

Microscope is pleased to welcome artist and curator Caspar Stracke to the gallery for a special program he assembled on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the May '68 revolts in France and Europe, loosely centered around protest culture in cinema theaters and tracing the ways in which rebellion in the cinema reflected the political climate.

FOVÉA IV Special on Friday May 18th in La Zonmé Nice France with Richard Martin.

Projection of BackBone: Vancouver Experimental Cinema 1967 – 1981

Curated and presented by Richard Martin

From Vancouver Canada, filmmaker and curator Richard Martin presents a unique view of early art film from the Canadian West Coast that reflects the experimental concerns of filmmakers from Vancouver to San Francisco and Los Angeles. It was an art movement marked by outrageous innovation, unbridled experimentation, and outright subversion.
