Speakers:
Judith Goddard practice spans three decades and has used film, print,
installation, analogue and digital video. Her installations have been
exhibited at Tates Britain/Liverpool, the Museum of Art Oxford, Bluecoat and
John Hansard Galleries, Kettle’s Yard, and internationally in Portugal,
Canada, Estonia and India; her single channel works have been screened
worldwide. Goddard currently teaches part-time at the Slade School of Fine
Art.
Graham Gussin uses wide range of media, including texts, drawings, film,
video, sound and installation. His works frequently appropriate and
manipulate images taken from cinema. His deconstruction of cinematic
materials reveals a special interest in film language's structural sediment
rather than its narrative articulations. He has exhibited widely, both
nationally and internationally. www.grahamgussin.co.uk
Rachel Haines is a MA student from the Sculpture department at the Slade
School of Fine Art. Her research currently focuses on the 'infidelities of
sound stuff’: its physicality and its weight and affect in contemporary
practice.
Cadence Kinsey currently lectures at Imperial, the Courtauld Institute of
Art, and UCL, where she works with scientists, art historians and artists on
a range of topics related to the techniques and technologies of
representation and perception. Her research on digital technology is
forthcoming in the journal Signs.
Paolo Magagnoli is a Teaching Fellow in the Department of History of Art at
UCL. He writes widely on modern and contemporary art. His articles have
appeared in Oxford Art Journal, Third Text, Afterall, Philosophy of
Photography, Screen, and Academic Quarter, Camera Austria and Frieze.
Matilde Nardelli currently teaches at the Slade and in the History of Art
Department at UCL, and is working on a monograph called Transitive Object:
Cinema in Art after Modernism.
Jayne Parker is an artist and filmmaker whose work has been widely shown,
both nationally and internationally, in major art institutions, on
television and in film and music festivals. In 2008 a DVD compilation of her
film works was released by the British Film Institute in their British
Artists' Film series. Her films are distributed by LUX <www.lux.org.uk> and
she teaches at the Slade School of Fine Art, University College London,
where she is Head of Graduate Fine Art Media.
Lucy Reynolds is a lecturer, artist and writer. She runs MRes in Moving
Image at Central St Martins, is the Features editor of the Moving Image
Research and Art Journal, and has published widely on expanded cinema and
British avant-garde film of the 1970s.
Thomas Morgan Evans is a Henry Moore Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at UCL.
His project concerns the sculpture work of Andy Warhol and the possibility
of and for sculpture 'after Warhol'. He has also written for the LUX blog.
Guy Sherwin studied painting at Chelsea School of Art in the 1960s.
His subsequent work with film, including expanded cinema and live
performance, was influenced by the radical practice of the London FilmMakers’ Co-operative where he worked in the 1970s. He lives in London and
teaches at Universities in Wolverhampton and Middlesex.
Anne Tallentire has worked at Central Saint Martins since the 1990s, where
she is a Professor of Fine Art. Using film, video, photography, drawing,
assemblage, text and performance her practice investigates institutional,
political and social systems. Recent solo exhibitions, screenings and
projects include Telling it and other works, Picture This, Bristol (2011);
This and other things, The Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin (2010); Drift,
Void, Derry (2005); A Pursuit of Happiness, Douglas Hyde, Gallery 3, Dublin,
(2006); Her most recent project is Objects of a life, published by Copy
Press, London (2012). www.annetallentire.info
Jon Thomson and Alison Craighead are fascinated how globalisation and
networked global communications have been re-shaping the way we all perceive
and understand the world around us. Recent exhibitions include: Videonale,
Bonn; Brighton Photo-biennial 2012; Haus der Kunst, Munich; National Media
Musem, UK and BFI Southbank, London. They also have a solo exhibition
opening at Carroll / Fletcher, London in May 2013.
Malin Ståhl, originally from Östersund, Sweden, works between Stockholm and
London. She received her training at the Iceland Academy of the Arts, the
School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Slade School of Fine Art,
London.
Shen Xin obtained her BA in Fine Art from the LASALLE College of the Arts in
Singapore (2012) and is currently studying on the MFA at the Slade School of
Fine Art. Her focus has often been on social and ethnic issues in mainland
China through documentary language.
Milou van der Maaden, now studying MA Fine Art Media at the Slade School of
Fine Art, graduated in 2011 from her BA in Fine Art (Utrecht School of the
Arts, Holland). Her work is derived from an interpretation and recontextualization of her visual archive.
