Two groups of work looking at cinema’s relationship to sculpture, location and its own mechanics, including the UK premiere of Redmond Entwistle's Monuments.

This programme pairs two groups of work looking at cinemas relationship to sculpture, location and its own mechanics. Featuring key films from the 1960s and 70s by Morgan Fisher and David Lamalas together with land artists Nancy Holt and Robert Smithson's attempt to navigate a swamp and Gordon Matta-Clark's documentation of the hole he cut through a building next to the then under-construction Centre Pompidou. These pivotal works are shown in a new light alongside Emily Wardill's philosphical restaging of a jewellery heist, James Richard's hypnotic video and Redmond Entwistle's Monuments, which resurrects the Post-Minimalists (Dan Graham, Gordon Matta-Clark, and Robert Smithson) and explores the origins of their art in a journey out from New York into the New Jersey suburbs.

Curated by George Clark.
