EXPANDED CINEMA:
ACTIVATING THE SPACE OF RECEPTION
17 - 19 April 2009
Tate Modern


Featuring lectures, discussions, performances, projections and
installations, this major international conference presents a
critical appraisal of an expanding field of film and video art
from multi-screen, immersive, performance- based live-projections
through to interactive, digital and virtual reality multi-media
events.

Coined in the mid-1960s by Stan VanDerBeek, but with its origins
in the experiments of early twentieth century avant-garde
filmmaking, media-technologies and performance art, the term
Expanded Cinema identifies a film and video practice which
activates the live context of watching, transforming cinema's
historical and cultural 'architectures of reception' into sites
of cinematic experience that are heterogeneous, performative and
non-determined. Works identified as Expanded Cinema often open up
questions surrounding the spectator's construction of time/space
relations, activating the spaces of cinema and narrative as well
as other contexts of media reception. In doing so it offers an
alternative and challenging perspective on filmmaking, visual
arts practices and the narratives of social space, everyday life
and cultural communication.

Speakers and artists include Mark Barlett, Eugeni Bonet, Cecile
Chich, Noam Elcott, Cate Elwes, Valie Export, Steve Farrer,
Sandra Gibson & Luis Recorder, Anja Gossens, Chrissie Iles, Cindy
Keefer, Ji-Hoon Kim, Liz Kotz, Tamara Krikorian, Mike Leggett,
Malcolm Le Grice, Anthony McCall, Chris Meigh-Andrews. Stephen
Partridge, William Raban, Lucy Reynolds, Lis Rhodes, Tony Sinden,
Yvonne Spielmann, Jonathan Walley, Chris Welsby, Duncan White,
Peter Weibel and Maxa Zoller.

The conference is part of an AHRC (Arts & Humanities Research
Council) funded project entitled Narrative Exploration in
Expanded Cinema set up by the late Dr Jackie Hatfield. Conducted
by Duncan White and David Curtis, the project - based at the
British Artists Film and Video Study Collection at Central St
Martins, College of Art & Design (University of the Arts London)
in collaboration with Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art &
Design, Dundee - seeks to explore the various histories of
expanded cinema and their impact on the question of narrative,
space and time in experimental film and art practices.

During the three days, there will be opportunities to visit
installations of three landmark British Expanded Cinema
installations:

Steve Farrer, The Machine, 1978-88
Tamara Krikorian, Time Revealing Truth 1983
Lis Rhodes, Light Music, 1975

Visits will be limited to 20 visitors each (admission with
conference ticket only), must be booked, and will last 40 minutes
each. Times for these visits will be:

Friday 17 April and Saturday 18 April at 18.15, 19.00 & 19.45,
and Sunday 19 April at 14.00, 14.45 & 15.30 & 16.15.

Also during the Conference, a videotheque will be available in
the Starr Auditorium Foyer containing documentation of over 70
classic expanded cinema works by more than 30 artists recorded at
two recent Expanded Cinema events in Germany, made available by
the artists and the Expanded Cinema Study Collection of Hartware
MedienKunstVerein Dortmund and Württembergischer Kunstverein
Stuttgart.

Prior to the Conference, during March, the Conference website
will begin to publish a number of papers and interview
transcripts that have been generated by the Narrative Exploration
in Expanded Cinema project during the past 18 months. These will
include Duncan White's interviews with Carolee Schneemann,
William Raban, Guy Sherwin, Peter Weibel, Malcolm LeGrice and
others; and a streamed record of a previous public event, The
Live Record, at BFI Southbank in December 2008.
