Dialogues II: Jayne Parker
Part of Nexus
The Carriageworks: Studio
9 November • 7.30pm
'This programme reflects my interest in the material properties of film and how the emulsion can hold an image. Each of these works help me to think about the different ways film can be structured; I'm filled with wonder at what film can do.' JP
Discovering film in the late 70s, British artist Jayne Parker is one of the UK's most influential artists working with the moving image. Challenging the mediums of film and video, her work often possesses the striking rawness of documentary, whilst retaining a pure, ambiguous and sculptural form. Parker's programme represents a quintessential selection of works from the canon of experimental film history. Including Len Lye, Hollis Frampton, Hans Richter, Kenneth Anger, Maya Deren and many others.
