WE ASSEMBLE

FEAT: DENISE CALLENDER, DANIEL PRYDE-JARMAN, ZOE TISSANDIER

GREY AREA, 18 NOV-3 DEC (THURS-MON 1-5PM) FREE
PRIVATE VIEW 17 NOV 7-9PM

Grey Area has invited 3 video artists to take part in an exhibition focused upon the inherent role of popular culture in the construction of identities. The featured work responds to the unique exhibition space by utilising archival footage and audience placement to examine the recreation of the archetypal viewing experience. Surrealism combines with the familiar to investigate the ability of television and film to provoke human emotion. Grey Area is an independent artist-run gallery in the centre of Brighton.

JEFF KEEN: FAMILY STAR SHOW

+ (TALES FROM) MAD LOVE
PHOENIX GALLERY
SAT 25 NOV 2.30PM £ 2.50

A double projection performance of the Family Star Show - the rarely screened 8mm home-movie serials created throughout the 1970s by the Brighton based experimental film veteran. Friends appear and play brief fantasy roles, Dr Gaz visits Paris, winter approaches, all teeters on the brink of a narrative, meanwhile the Desperadoes of Whitehawk and the Brighton sea are never far away. + (TALES FROM) MAD LOVE (1972-9) A surrealist extravaganza realised on a shoestring budget - an intoxicating fast flow of verbal and visuals puns, vignettes and rapid remakes played out by the Family Star cast to found Latin-American 78's.
FAST FORWARD PRESENTS:
MICHAEL CONNOR

LIGHTHOUSE DIGITAL LOUNGE
TUES 28 NOV 7PM
Fast Forward is a new seminar series devoted to contemporary issues and ideas related to the artists' moving image and digital arts co-presented by Lighthouse, Screen Archive South East, Videoclub and Wired Sussex. As Head of Exhibitions at the BFI, Michael Connor is leading the development of a new exhibition space dedicated to artists' film, video, and new media within the new BFI Southbank complex in London that opens to the public in February 2007. He will discuss this new development and consider why the moving image is transforming the nature of contemporary art.
JEFF KEEN: DESTINATION BLATZ

PHOENIX GALLERY
SAT 2 DEC 2.30 PM £ 2.50
Keen marks the end of his stay at the Phoenix Gallery with a free form multi-projection performance incorporating new work set against a live improvised soundtrack from UK noise artist and past collaborator Jason Williams / Deepkiss 720. Keen's expanded cinema events have blurred the line between performance and film with spontaneous overlays of cartoon capers, absurd heroics, apocalyptic glimpses, melting toys and spray-cans. Jeff Keen's DESTINATION BLATZ: The Remix - a celebration of fifty years of image making runs throughout CINECITY at the Phoenix Gallery.
UNSTABLE
AN EXHIBITION BY CHRISTOPHER STEVENS


PERMANENT GALLERY
SAT 11 NOV - TUES 5 DEC THURS, FRI, SUN 1-6PM, SAT 11-6PM
Christopher Stevens is better known as a painter, but recently his investigations have led him into working with digital video. Unstable will be the first solo exhibition that includes his new animations alongside the paintings and drawings of paint that engendered these new time-based works. Together, they chart the unstable relationship between ideas and the language used for their communication.
PAINTING IN TIME

A FORUM DISCUSSION WITH CHRISTOPHER STEVENS, BEN RIVERS AND ANDRZEJ JACKOWSKI

SUSSEX ARTS CLUB
SAT 25 NOV 1.30-4PM
To accompany the exhibition, Permanent gallery will be staging an afternoon forum, in which two other artists: the painter Andrzej Jackowski and the film-maker Ben Rivers, will join Christopher Stevens to discuss the way that working in a particular medium may affect their thought processes, focusing on relationships between painting and film as time-based media. The event will include presentations by all three artists and an open discussion.
