And I rather like some of the other videos that Ewan Jones Morris had made too – take a look at it all on his Radar Music Videos profile page.

Especially the bit where you lie down on soft stuffed human effigies and lose yourself to lots of luscious, disgusting, vibrant, fruity, flowery, animaly, moving images, floating around and warping as they glide across strips of seethrough material. I also really enjoyed this early work from her days at art school:

Pipilotti Rist ‘Eyeball Massage’
The Hayward Gallery presents the first UK survey exhibition of works by Pipilotti Rist. Curated by Stephanie Rosenthal, the exhibition, titled ‘Eyeball Massage’, features single-channel videos, sculptures, photographs, wallpaper and large-scale audio-visual installations spanning Rist’s career from the 1980s to today, and includes new works created especially for the unique architecture of the gallery. Accompanying the exhibition is a catalogue with texts by Konrad Bitterli, Elisabeth Bronfen, Chrissie Iles, Stefanie Müller and Stephanie Rosenthal.

Hayward Gallery, London, England
28 September 2011 – 8 January 2012

There is a superb selection of films showing, and some brilliant  industry workshops happening over the weekend, including a session I have organised:

The Feminist and the Flirt: Performance Video Art
Saturday 26th November, 12noon – 1.30pm
Shortwave Cinema, Bermondsey
Does being a woman on both sides of the camera compromise or strengthen the feminist agenda in your work? Are you the subject, object, or the collaborating voyeur? How can you avoid re-enforcing those representations that you intend to subvert? Join a panel of artists, curators and writers to explore new and old challenges facing contemporary female performance video artists. For tickets, head here.

It’s going to be a wonderful festival, hope to see you there!

It was only this year that I discovered the legendary Jack Smith, whilst pottering around galleries in New York. Somehow, he (his work, his name even!) had completely bypassed me. How ignorant I was… As I watched his films with that sigh of relief reserved for those moments of pure, awe-inspired trust towards a creative kindred spirit, I assumed he was a contemporary artist with a fetish for nostalgia, with a flamboyant and celebratory romanticism for 60s experimental underground queer art film. Then I found out he was the real deal. Even better?

Jack Smith and the Destruction of Atlantis was a good crash course in his world and his work, and I’m sure there are a few things in there that the seasoned Jack Smith fan would find revealing. I was put through the emotional paces as I admired his revolutionary, impassioned heroism to protect what he saw as artistic truth and integrity, his reluctance to engage in commercialisation, then found myself sad, angrily disappointed, that this tragically came hand in hand with his exploitation and rejection, his isolating and debilitating paranoia, his unforgiving existentialism, that ultimately destroyed him.

The Kuchar Brothers film collection “Color Me Lurid” on vhs was a delight to discover in the depths of my uni library all them years ago… Especially at a time when I felt starved of artistic input/output and craved to see some natural rebellion towards traditional filmmaking that at the same time pleasantly embraced what I think are the best bits of film.

After watching the Color Me Lurid films with fellow student Claudia Sarkany, I splashed out at the time on Desperate Visions, which got me through a dusty summer of endless henna tattoo painting at Bournemouth Pier. Recently I met John Waters who signed this book for me after showing his assistant “we haven’t seen one of these for a while have we?!” (was he amused, horrified? there was no time to ask), and I had a dream of one day meeting George and Mike to complete the signature set. Alas.

Hugely inspiring, comforting, tirelessly creating trashy masterpieces to the end, thank you George.
And I hope Mike is okay.
