"...the slippery relationship between word and image.

AS SO CI ATIONS includes films, projections and installations with artists drawing on a wide variety of raw material from magazines and colour supplements to film theory and linguistics."

10/11 - Go See 11 - Curve

"During the month of September, acclaimed Mexican artist Damián Ortega set himself the challenge of creating new works in response to aspects of the daily news.

Each day he took inspiration from a newspaper; whether a news item, a photographic story or graphics selected from local, national or international press which he translated into a physical interpretation, be it a sculpture, installation, proposition or prototype for a future project. The works made over this period have become both a sculptural chronicle of this period of time – and a dynamic reinterpretation of the notion of an art commission."

10/11 - Go See 10 - Undone

"Undone is concerned with sculpture that lies somewhere on the threshold between the made and unmade. This fascinating exhibition brings together a large body of recent work by international contemporary artists and in doing so identifies a shared aesthetic that characterises the work of this otherwise disparate group of artists. These ‘homespun’ sculptures, made from readily-available materials by artists from Europe, the US and Brazil seem to reflect a new age of austerity."

10/11 - Go See 09 - DAN HOLDSWORTH

"Blackout brings together a remarkable new sequence of images taken in Iceland by British photographer Dan Holdsworth. Occupying a space between documentary and the make-believe, Holdsworth’s photographs combine traditional analogue methods with digital processing to transform the elemental terrain of a giant glacier as it melts away. The result is an other-worldly vision of the future. Reproduced at a grand scale, the blue of sky becomes the deep black of space, while the earth appears in negative, beyond imaginable human time and space."

10/11 - MOMA - On Line Exhibition Site

Looking beyond institutional definitions of the medium, On Line argues for an expanded history of drawing that moves off the page into space and time. Comprising the work of more than one hundred artists, the exhibition charts the radical transformation of the medium between 1910 and 2010, as artists broke down drawing to its core elements, making line the subject of intense exploration: as the path of a moving point or a human body in motion (the dancer tracing dynamic lines across the stage, the wandering artist tracing lines across the land), as an element in a network, and as a boundary—political, cultural, or social.

KINO CLUB

KINO CLUB is a new Thursday night screening programme presenting a wide range of cinema, documentary and animation and artists’ film and video, all held in the Basement at Modern Art Oxford.

Each season they work with exhibiting artists to select a programme of films to complement the exhibitions. This autumn they make a foray into world and classic cinema with films selected by Berlin-based artist Manfred Pernice, and Birmingham and London-based artists Simon & Tom Bloor.

10/11 - Go See 07 - Eadweard Muybridge

Muybridge was the man who famously proved a horse can fly. Adapting the very latest technology to his ends, he proved his theory by getting a galloping horse to trigger the shutters of a bank of cameras. He invented the zoopraxiscope, a method of projecting animated versions of his photographs as short moving sequences, which anticipated subsequent developments in the history of cinema.

10/11 - Go See 06 - Julian Rosefeldt

American Night (2009) is a homage to the medium of film and a reflection on the construction of fictional narratives using cinematographic and iconographic references. A five-channel film installation shot on a Sergio Leone film set in southern Spain and on the Canary Islands, it is one of the most complex works to date by the Berlin based artist Julian Rosefeldt, who has made a name for himself with lavishly produced multi-screen exhibitions.
