Language

November 24, 2010 by Alex Jones

Gary Hill Primary

‘Language‘ is the latest offering from VIVID, opening on 2 December. The exhibition and events programme will explore the constructs of language and meaning from far reaching cultural perspectives.

The international selection of moving image, exhibition, discussion and print includes work from John Adams, William Burroughs, Barbad Golshiri, Gary Hill, Valerie Mréjen, Aura Satz, Guy Sherwin, Margaret Tait, and Olivier Zabat.

…the works cover four decades, spanning films which reflect the post-Structuralist theories of the 1970’s to documented actions and contemporary works newly commissioned by VIVID.

There’s a range of associated events including film screenings and performances within the programme, which can be viewed on VIVID’s site.

The exhibition is open until 18 December, when they’ll also be ending the season with a bang, hosting ‘Nightmare Before Christmas’. The “warped line up of winter horror, creepy electronica and spectral pop”, will include DJ sets from COLOUR, John Napier and Dan Le Trap.
