Figuring Landscapes (June 2009)

artnucleus — Fri, 22 May 2009 10:01:01 +0000

Figuring Landscapes is a remarkable collection of moving-image works by British and Australian artists. Shown on Tuesday evenings throughout June, the screenings focus on landscape to address questions of ecological survival, post-industrialism, gender, the touristic gaze, and uniquely in Australia, the status of indigenous people in a post-colonial society.

Recently shown at Tate Modern and FACT (Liverpool), the first screening in the series will be introduced by Figuring Landscapes curator Steven Ball (British Artists’ Film and Video Study Collection).
