The Art of Printing Screening: Guy Sherwin and Lynn Loo

Info

Join us for a 16mm film screening by Guy Sherwin & Lynn Loo - a prelude to the Art of Printing workshop.

Titles include:

• Vowels & Consonants (4 projector performance)
• Split Wires (3 projector performance)
• Short Film Series / Animal Studies - some never screened before!

Beginning with observations in the real world or abstract ideas – then experimentation through unusal methods of optical and contact printing processes – the films produce unanticipated, chance results. A visual poetry of animals reacting to their own shadows, overhead wires colliding with framelines, letters moving across the screen.

Made on home-grown printing equipment and an intimate understanding of the materiality of film, its processes and possibilities, the films hold a painterly quality. The live multi-projection screenings bring the works to life in a new way each time they are shown. Sometimes the projector is used as a rudimentary optical printer or to deliberaltely misaling the image or to further play with levels of exposure and meaning.

Lynn and Guy will be present to discuss the films.
