The Black Moving Cube is a major touring exhibition programme and season that presents key works made by artists working in the moving image to be shown in a range of gallery spaces collaborating with the Arnolfini Gallery and Watershed in Bristol, the Tate Britain, the Guardian Archive Space, the Photographers Gallery and Camden Arts Centre in London. The project will have the following distinctive elements:
The Black Moving Cube season will represent the body of artists who have used the physical space of the gallery and museum to re-frame a particular set of ideas that comments upon film art culture. Hence the phrase Black Cube as an ironic metaphor to describe the way artists have 'blackened' the white cubist spaces of the museum and gallery sectors. Over the years, a number of artists have been working with museum and gallery archives/collections and through the process re-created museum and gallery environments through, photography, film and cross-art form installations These interventions fall into several categories such as: film projects, theme group shows, residencies/invitational interventions and non-invitational interventions. It is my intention to explore these past moving images works with new commissions that will be launched in Bristol in July 2006 and then touring to London in September 2007. |
