BETWEEN THE STILL AND MOVING IMAGE, October 1 - November 2
Photography is part of the DNA of cinema. This exhibition and film
series examines the relationship between the still and moving image by
artists and filmmakers whose works use stillness, slowness, light,
cinematographic composition, and movement to construct different
perceptions of time and place.
'VARIETIES OF SLOW' Andrew Lampert
Weekly, October 8-10, 15-19, 22-24 and October 29 - November 2
'Varieties of Slow', a three screen 16mm film installation by Andrew
Lampert, occupies the Film and Video Gallery for four weeks,
constructing a framework of time that operates in direct opposition to
conventional gallery or cinema time.
Each projector projects the film at a different speed - 16, 18 and 24
frames per second. At certain moments during the day, the projectionist
makes interventions that further alter our perception of the way in
which we read the installation - changing the lenses, covering them with
colored gels, and moving the screens' positions within the space. Andrew
Lampert performs his interventions onto the piece live, on November 1
and 2.
SATURDAY OCTOBER 11 and SUNDAY OCTOBER 26
OBJECT-IFIED
TIME AND LIGHT
These films slow down the relentless forward movement that characterizes
conventional film. Objects take on an almost photographic quality,
through a focus on stillness, colour, light and form.

THE PHOTOGRAPH; THE CAMERA; THE FRAME; THE FILM STRIP
In this group of films, the photograph becomes the subject; the frame is
revealed as a central element in defining the boundary between stillness
and movement. And the composition of the film strip, a series of still
images printed onto celluloid, is made explicit through re-photography.
