>> Dear Frameworks,
>>
>> I am currently a student at University of Central Lancashire (Uclan) where I am doing a BA (Hons) Fine Art. Last term my studio work led me into the realm of Expanded Cinema and for my finial submission I did an expanded cinema installation involving 3 experimental films and 3 overhead projectors each of which had moving images. On one of the projectors I had a clear plastic tub which had in it a washing machine glass bowl in which I had water, a water pump and the clear waterproof casing from a 35mm camera that created a moving image. Which was great, as an experiment, however totally unsuitable for public exhibition!

>> John Wood and Paul Harrison; Harry Houdini (there's no escape that I can see) 1994
>>
>> Bradley Eros published article “There will be projections in all dimensions” where he describes a projection from the New York Underground film festival 2000. Where an 8mm projector and a glass of whiskey was used to create “cinema but not film?” (What can I say I’m Scottish!)
>>
>> Zoe Redmans; She, Her, I. Which I saw recently at Street Level Photoworks in Glasgow
>>
>> Further research had uncovered;
>>
>> Robert Whitman; Two holes of water two (1966)
>>
>> Current Artists; Lenka Novakova and Michael Brown
>>
>> I was also intrigued by the recent listing for;
>>
>> Sites for seeing: Out of the Cineplex and into the Marshlands curated by Gerda Cammaer with whom I have already corresponded.
>>
>>
>>
>> I am aware that there is a lot of artist who have worked with film/video etc where water has been an integral part of the projected image/installation i.e.; Chris Meigh-Andrews; Eau d'Artifice.
>>
>>
>>
>> However I am looking for examples of artists work where the water is physically present (preferably moving) in the gallery space or like “Sites for seeing: Out of the Cineplex and into the Marshlands” where the projection has been taken out of the gallery space and into a watery environment.

>>
>> This is my first post and I have been watching frameworks since my trip to “no.w.here” earlier on this year, so I am sure that I will (hopefully) spark some discussion!
>>
>> “Let the deluge begin!” (Sorry couldn’t help myself!)
>>
>>
>>
>> Hence, I would appreciate your help in this research and would ask that if you have detailed information like Journal article, artist, date, book title and page number or artist’s web site etc. That would be great! As searching JSTOR or Google for Expanded Cinema and water doesn’t get you very far! Also if you are aware of any up and coming exhibitions in the UK that would be relevant that would be great too!

>>
>> I would also ask Permission from the administrator of frameworks to cite any discussions that occur in relation to this post.
