Film: Beyond Language: The Films Of George Barber (1983-2008)
29 Apr 2009, 7:30 p.m.
Beyond Language presents a broad selection of Barber's influential video work from past 30 years from proto-Scratch works of the early ’80s to his 90's lo-tech 'slacker' videos and his recent return to assemblage and appropriation. Narrative is at the centre of much of his work, whether deconstructing it as in Scratch, or creating humorous and absurd situations to find existential meaning in the margins of modern life. We are very fortunate to have George Barber in person, in conversation with the programme's curator Matthew Noel-Tod.
