Pastoral
NEW WORK UK: PASTORAL
London Whitechapel Gallery
Thursday 26 April 2007, at 7:30pm
The first in a new series of guest-curated programmes showcasing the best of recent British work. This screening is curated by Michelle Cotton and showcases recent work by Stephen Sutcliffe and Emily Wardill.
Ben (Emily Wardill, 2007)
Stephen Sutcliffe combines sound and footage from an extensive archive of material recorded from television and radio broadcasts. English poetry is read with thespy precision and meshed with streams of music and spoken word to emphasise or undercut another story told on film. Collaging ideas from traditions in literature, encountered in neo-romantic cinema or excerpts of rogue video Sutcliffe reworks a received version of familiar, native territory recounted in a cultural heritage.
Emily Wardill’s work is concerned with the communication of ideas and agency implicit in the structure of language and formulation of material by the media. Her 16mm films isolate detail from a complex, metropolitan vernacular edited with a syntax of absences in sound and image. Structured in reference to a single metaphor or motif, Wardill’s films construct a formal investigation of the social and psychological implications of the media that she employs for the formulation of consciousness and the construction of self.
