SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT: Expanded Cinema

Wrexham Arts Centre, 23 May 2007, doors open 7pm

Beginning in the 1960s, artists at the London Film-Makers’ Co-operative experimented with multiple projection, live performance and film environments. In liberating cinema from traditional theatrical presentation, they broke down the barrier between screen and audience, and extended the creative act to the moment of
exhibition.

“Shoot Shoot Shoot” presents historic works of Expanded Cinema, for which each screening is a unique, collective experience, in stark contrast to contemporary video installations. In Line Describing a Cone, a film projected through smoke, light becomes an apparently solid, sculptural presence, whilst other works for multiple projection create dynamic relationships between images and sounds.

Programme includes Castle Two (Malcolm Le Grice, 1968), Play (Sally Potter, 1971), Diagonal (William Raban, 1973), Hand Grenade (Gill Eatherley, 1971), Light Music (Lis Rhodes, 1975-77), Line Describing a Cone (Anthony McCall, 1973).

Curated by Mark Webber. Presented in association with LUX.
