ANALOGUE:
PIONEERING VIDEO FROM THE UK, CANADA AND POLAND (1968-88)

Through a series of exhibitions, screenings, performances and discussions Analogue, aims to illuminate the early histories of artists' video, linking the work of artists in the UK, Canada and Poland in order to broaden an understanding of how, in the course of thirty years, a versatile and politically charged medium made the transition from the margins to the mainstream of contemporary practice.

Analogue has been developed by Catherine Elwes and Dr Chris Meigh-Andrews in collaboration with Professor Lisa Steele, Peggy Gale and Tate.

Video P (Pavel Kwiek, 1974)

ANALOGUE: PIONEERING ARTISTS' VIDEO FROM POLAND (1968–89)
Screening

This screening forms a crucial part of a tripartite event taking place over two consecutive weekends at Tate Britain and Tate Modern, presenting seminal early video from the UK, Canada and Poland. Video art appeared in Poland in the early 1970s within the creative community known as the Workshop of the Film Form. The Workshop’s open, multidisciplinary nature and its members’ fundamental, shared interest in new media inspired them to adopt video as the primary medium for their activities almost as soon as the appropriate technology appeared. Members also possessed an analytical stance that compelled them to explore and reveal the inherent qualities of the media they used. Thus, this other art of the moving image – apart from cinema – became the focus of their singular, artistic exploratory interest, an interest they directed toward the structural and expressive qualities of the medium.

Pieces I Never Did (David Critchley, 1979)

Friday 1 December 2006, from 6pm
LATE AT TATE BRITAIN: DECEMBER

VAMP (Video and Music Performers), video performance, Duveen Galleries
After a twenty-five-year hiatuses, VAMP are performing again. The group were the first to perform integrated video and audio works using the Videokalos image-processing synthesizer, developed and built by Donebauer in collaboration with Monkhouse in the mid 1970s. The artists include Simon Desorgher on flute and electronics, Peter Donebauer on Videoakalos synthesiser, Richard Monkhouse on Vector Pattern Generator and Michael Orniston on the Mongolian horse-head fiddle with Mongolian overtone singing.

Kevin Atherton, In Two Minds, video performance, Clore Auditorium
In Two Minds - Past Version consists of the fifty-five-year-old Kevin Atherton answering questions put to him by his twenty-seven-year-old, pre-recorded self. The resulting performance is a humorous and insightful examination of 1970s video art but as it progresses, becomes a poignant reflection on what has happened in the intervening twenty-eight years.

Continuous playback of selected single screen tapes, Clore Gallery Foyer
