LVA presents a three part selection of material from its archive; an entertaining and subjective fast-forward through decades of material. Programmed by Michael Maziere of LVA.
Part Two: The 80's - Pleasure and Identity
THE END OF THE WORLD Ian Bourne 1982 10 mins
Tea time. Trouble brews in the house and in the garden. An ironic and disturbing tape.
BLUE MONDAY I WAR MACHINE Duvet Brothers 1984 10 mins
While War Machine presents prime warzone scratch with a re-interpretation of a TV ad that mixes images of warfare with Reagan's voice and the pictures of war victims, Blue Monday takes us on a scratch attack vision of Britain in crisis set to New Order's neo-funk hit record.
PRISONERS Triple Vision 1984 16 mins
Prisoners takes the setting of the Apple advertisement (based on Orwell's 1984) shot by Ridley Scott to produce a multi layered tape which reveals the DUBIOUS IDEOLOGIES BEHIND ADVERTISING, MEDIA AND THE SKINHEAD CULTURE.
CALLING THE SHOTS Mark Wilcox 1984 12 mins
A meditation on a classic Hollywood melodrama looking at the nature of desire, gender, style and pleasure. Moving from a reconstruction to deconstruction, a scene from Douglas Sirk's 'Imitation of Life' is remade. Filmic codes of framing, gesture, dialogue, looks and music are examined and explored. Calling The Shots is didactic, funny and disturbing.
CELESTIAL LIGHT /MONSTROUS RACES Judith Goddard 1985 5 mins
The 'Monstrous Races' of medieval myth are here created by the application of electronic technology. Goddard is an artist whose work is poetic, lyrical, diffuse in its assemblage of occasionally oblique cultural references, and always visually compelling.
SO MUCH I WANT TO SAY Mona Hatoum 1985 8 mins
A video tape made by 'slow scan' - a technique for sending TV pictures by phone line - that deals with communication and its denial.
PEDAGOGUE Stuart marshal / Neil Bartlet 1988 10 mins
Produced by LVA this short performance to camera by solo performer/monologist Neil Bartlett explores in comic style the possible implications of Clause 28, & dubious ideologies behind advertising, media and the skinhead culture.
Presented at The Unity Theatre
