For the past fifty years, the love/hate affair between the two has triggered vital aesthetic, social and political responses that constantly renew the way we understand our age. This book traces the story from early spatial experiments with film and video technologies to the current widespread use of projected images in museums and galleries. Why has there been a turn to the cinematic in contemporary art? What happens to the moving image when it shifts from the black box to the white cube, when cinema is exhibited? How does this challenge the traditional mediums of film, painting and sculpture? 'Art and the Moving Image' gathers together key texts including new, translated and previously unavailable essays by eminent writers and theorists including Giorgio Agamben, Beatriz Colomina, Serge Daney, Rosalind Krauss, Maurizio Lazzaratto and Peter Wollen. It offers an essential introduction to the complex field of art and the projected image for both students and general readers." -- Publisher's website.Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.ISBN: 9781854376251Donation: Adrian MilesContents: Preface / Charles Esche -- Introduction / Tanya Leighton -- Colour plates -- Part I.

London's Arts Labs and the 60s avant-garde / David Curtis New Barnet, U.K: John Libbey Publishing,
Author: Curtis, David Edition: 2020Place: New Barnet, U.KPublisher: John Libbey PublishingPhysDes: vi, 170 pages : llustrated ; 25 cmSubject: AVANT-GARDE FILMS ; BOWIE, DAVID ; LE GRICE, MALCOLM ; ONO, YOKO ; WARHOL, ANDY ; CANTRILL, ARTHUR & CORINNE Summary: This is the story of two short-lived artist-run spaces that are associated with some of the most innovative developments in the arts in Britain in the late 1960s. The Drury Lane Arts Lab (1967–69) was home to the first UK screenings of Andy Warhol's twin-screen 3 hour film Chelsea Girls, challenging exhibitions (John and Yoko / John Latham / Takis / Roelof Louw), poetry and music (first UK performance of Erik Satie's 24-hour Vexations) and fringe theatre (People Show / Freehold / Jane Arden's Vagina Rex and the Gas Oven / Will Spoor Mime Theatre). The Robert Street 'New Arts Lab' (1969–71) housed Britain's first video workshop TVX, the London Filmmakers Co-op's first workshop and a 5-days-a-week cinema devoted to showing new work by moving-image artists (David Larcher / Malcolm Le Grice / Sally Potter / Carolee Schneemann / Peter Gidal). It staged J G Ballard's infamous Crashed Cars exhibition and John & Dianne Lifton's pioneering computer-aided dance/mime performances.
The impact of London's Labs led to an explosion of new artist-led spaces across Britain. This book relates the struggles of FACOP (Friends of the Arts Council Operative) to make the case for these new kinds of space and these new art-forms and the Arts Council's hesitant response – in the context of a popular press already hostile to youth culture, experimental art and the 'underground'. With a Foreword by Andrew Wilson, Curator Modern & Contemporary British Art and Archives, Tate Gallery. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9780861967483Contents: Foreword / Andrew Wilson -- Introduction -- Part one: Drury Lane Arts Lab Setting-up -- The Building -- The Programme Mix -- Theatre -- Poetry & Talks -- Music -- The Gallery -- The Soft Cinema -- Challenges -- Part two: The New Arts Lab at Robert St. (IRAT) -- Setting-Up -- The Building -- The Cybernetic Theatre -- The Gallery -- Music / Poetry / Talks -- The Print Workshop -- Video TVX -- Cinema and Film Workshop -- Closure – Appendices: Drury Lane and Robert Street Workers' After-lives -- Arts Labs & Related Phenomena / Addresses & News by Regions' (IT / BIT Oct '69) -- On the Southampton Arts Lab / Rob La Frenais & James Strangeways -- The Penis in Italy an Arts Lab Adventure / David Jeffrey -- My play Complexions at the Drury Lane Arts Lab / Jan Quackenbush -- Footnotes to Sketches From a Hunter's Album / Mo Throp & John King -- Index
