Anna Barham: Selected Films


2 - 31 January 2013


 


This month’s Video Space programme presents a selection of films made over the last four years by the British artist, Anna Barham. Working in a variety of media including sculpture, performance, film and drawing, Barham often explores the malleable nature of language and forms. Utilising limited starting points - a short, poetic sentence for example – she applies’ a methodology of deconstructing and recombining its constituent parts to create a shifting set of meanings and associations.


 


Anna Barham was born in the UK in 1974. She studied Mathematics and Philosophy at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge and Fine Art at The Slade School of Art, graduating in 2001. Recent exhibitions include: Warp and Woof (with Bea McMahon), CCA Glasgow, poor.old.tired.horse at ICA, London and a commission for White City, for Art on the Underground.


 


Films in this season: 


Argent Minotaur Slept (2012), Iris (2011), Proteus (2011), The Terrain (2010), Magenta, Emerald, Lapis (2009).

Gerard Byrne Exhibition at Lisson Gallery


Gerard Byrne: Present Continuous Past


30 January – 9 March 2013


 


Gerard Byrne's solo show at the Lisson Gallery opens at the end of this month. Using film, video and photography, Byrne confronts the challenges of the visual record, demonstrating that whilst images are fixed in time they can also be interpreted as a situation that both creates and distorts our knowledge of what came before.


 


He was a previous exhibitor at MK Gallery in 2011 with his solo show

The exhibition is the culmination of a series of workshops commissioned by Inter- Action MK in 2011 in which artist Elizabeth Beston (aka ShutterBetty) was invited to work with two groups of local women. Many of the women had been supported by the St Francis’ Children’s Society’s Birth Connections project, a service that offers support and counselling to birth families living without their children. The aim of the workshops was to enable the participants to contemplate and express their personal experiences.
