DIGIVILLE

Tuesday May 23rd 2006 7.30pm at the Hanbury Ballroom, 83 St Georges Road, Kemp Town, Brighton.

videoclub : 2 provided us with a few surprises, this screening of excellent films, was only 14 minutes long - but a wonderful set of films, which had great contrasts and similes, particularly with their relationship to sound and image. George Barker, Nick Hornby and Hannah Ellul came to talk about their work, with guest facilitator (artist, writer and curator) Monica Ross, who explored and highlighted some thought-provoking links between the artists' work.

This event featured work from the following artists:
Patrick Gould and George Barker - For the Love of God
Rosalind Peters - She Falls
Nick Hornby - Psycho Saw
Hannah Ellul and J Allett - I have dodged through the parking lots

Videoclub is a new showcasing opportunity for artists who are pushing film, video and moving image practice. videoclub is responding to the increasing interest in moving image work created by artists. They are also responding to the limited opportunities available to see and critically discuss quality moving image work that is artist based.

Videoclub has developed a 10-month long programme over 2006, sourcing art work through open submission, which is then selected and curated by videoclub, culminating in curated screenings across Brighton venues in 2006.

Their intention is to support artists, but also to showcase new artists' film, video and moving image work to the public to increase public engagement with moving image, and to create opportunities for critical engagement with contemporary art work.

For further information on future screening dates, take a look at their website. If you are interested in submitting work for videoclub, go to the videoclub website, where you can download the terms and conditions, and a submission form.
