Artprojx at Greenland Street

4 July - 22 July 2007

A Foundation invited Artprojx to devise a Summer film programme  in Greenland Street’s purpose-built cinema space. Artprojx is the pre-eminent arts agency showing artists' moving images and has worked with arts venues such as Tate, White Cube, Hauser and Wirth and Victoria Miro and with artists such as Mark Wallinger, William Eggleston, William Kentridge, Susan Hiller and Christian Jankowski.
 
David Gryn curated a long weekend event at the end of July that included screenings of new and existing works by both emerging and more established artists, some of which wer accompanied by live orchestral and dance performances. Artists who were part of the programme will give a presentation/talk before their screening. The content of the programme explores the breadth and diversity of artists’ films and the potential relationship between film and other live artforms such as dance, performance and music.

Alice Anderson introduces four of her short films. Fuelled by introspective visions of childhood, Anderson’s works are often described as ‘Freudian tales’, each work contributing to a kind of novel that the artist has been building since 1999.
