In October VIVID present three film programmes from ICO Essentials (a series of national touring programmes) around the themes of play, pop and modernity.
Here, via some copy and paste magic, is what’s going on:
Wed 08 Oct
Essentials: Play honours the irreverent, impudent, subversive and fun in artists’ film. Featuring work by Hans Richter, John Smith and George Kuchar. Curated by James Harding.
Wed 15 Oct
Essentials: POP presents iconic Pop films from the 1950s and 60s alongside work that preceded the Pop Art movement and work from its many legacies. Including work by Peter Roehr, William Klein and Peter Whitehead. Curated by Tanya Leighton
Wed 22 Oct
Essentials: Modernity presents work by artists who adapted the evolving languages of cinema and the technologies of the moving image to convey the experience of modernity; the social, environmental and psychological impact of the new rationalizing forces in industry, architecture and design. Including work by Len Lye, László Moholy-Nagy, Mary Ellen Bute, Ferdinand Kriwet and Mark Leckey. Curated by Michelle Cotton
£5/4 per screening or £10/8 for all three!
