Pavilion's Artist Moving Image Network Screening Weekend
July 5–7, 2019
Pavilion + Hyde Park Picture House
Leeds, UK
Special thanks to Kerstin Doble & Will Rose of Pavilion for the invitation and collaboration.
The inaugural Pavilion Artists Moving Image Network Screening Weekend is a cinema-based group exhibition focused on bringing the work of Yorkshire-based artists in dialogue with international artists and filmmakers. It’s my hope that screening the films of these 13 selected artists will contribute towards ongoing efforts to sketch an increasingly rich picture of creative filmmaking and visual arts in the region, both contemporary and historical. At the same time, placing these works in conversation with artists from Belgium, France, Germany, India, Japan, Lithuania, Portugal, Spain and USA will create connections between themes, forms, contexts and aesthetic techniques, as well as hopefully some wild juxtapositions.
This is not meant to be a tidy survey of ‘the best works’, but is admittedly—and unashamedly—a subjective response to films submitted by members of Pavilion’s Artists Moving Image Network, a monthly critical forum for local artists.
Over three days and seven screening programmes, there will be films warm and familiar. Unapologetically provocative, unceasingly strange, unabashedly erotic and unquestionably pleasurable delights await the curious viewer. I hope you will join myself, Pavilion and the featured artists (who will be in conversation) for an exciting weekend.
