 Esta conferencia de la Tate que se celebrará en Londres los próximos 17 a 19 de Abril, servirá para indagar en un campo del cine y videoarte que se encuentra en expansión, a través de las proyecciones multipantalla, preformances, realidad virtual, eventos mutlimedia, etc.... El evento forma parte de un proyecto parte del AHRC (Arts & Humanities Research Council) titulado Exploración narrativa en el Cine Expandido, iniciado por el Dr Jackie Hatfield. Dirigido por Duncan White y David Curtis, el proyecto (con base en la British Artists' Film and Video Study Collection en Central St Martins, College of Art & Design (University of the Arts London) en colaboración con Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design, Dundee) busca eplorar las diferentes historas del cine expandido y su impacto sobre el problema de la narrativa, el tiempo y el espacio en la práctica de las artes y el cine experimentales. |
Antes de la conferencia, durante el mes de Marzo, en la página web se publicarán una serie de artículos y transcripciones de entrevistas que han sido generados desde el proyecto durante los pasados 18 meses. Entre estos se incluyen entrevistas de Dunca White a Carolee Schneemann, William Raban, Guy Sherwin, Peter Weibel, Malcolm LeGrice y otros, así como una grabación en streamingdel anterior evento The Live Record en el BFI Southbank en Diciembre de 2008. Los enlaces se publicarán en studycollection.org.uk.
