If you don’t yet possess any electronic gadgets, don’t worry, we do and we’d love you to come and play with them.
“This is exactly what I needed! I’ve made lots of notes and I am much more confident with my laptop now. Thank you” says 65 year old Highgate Coffee & Computers friend, who has just booked a bargain summer break online.

if you can’t share no one gets any is an exhibition by Cinenova, a volunteer run feminist film and video distributor based at LUX, Waterlow Park. Cinenova has invited artist Carolyn Lazard and the worker collective Collective Text to share the space of this exhibition to present work which addresses some of the barriers to the access of film and video in its production, distribution and exhibition.
Carolyn Lazard’s video A Recipe for Disaster (2017, USA, 27 mins) uses the first programme shown with captions on US television, a cookery show, The French Chef (1972), to compose a wider study on the terms of media accessibility, and a call to produce more inclusive communities. Alongside Lazard’s video installation, Cinenova has invited Collective Text, a Glasgow-based worker collective who share skills and expertise to deliver intersectional access projects, specialising in creative Captioning and Audio Description for art and experimental film, to begin a longer-term access project with the titles within the Cinenova collection. Collective Text work in consultation with D/deaf & Hard of Hearing, Blind & Visually Impaired and Disabled artists and audiences.
Please join us for a Breakfast Opening on Wednesday 15th August at LUX, 9am–10.30am, for a special preview of the exhibition with free coffee, tea and pastries. All welcome.
A special breakfast viewing of the exhibition with artist Kathryn Elkin. Coffee, tea and pastries will be provided. All welcome, drop-in anytime between 9am-10.30am.
In this “pregnancy and baby” video—as the artist describes it—Kathryn Elkin tackles, with her usual sense of humour and irreverence, issues around motherhood, labour and creation, personal biography, being an artist and the transforming pregnant body. Queen was conceived and shot during the artist’s pregnancy and first months of parenthood.
Queen was first presented at BALTIC 39 and was produced in the context of the Warwick Stafford Fellowship. BL CK B X: Kathryn Elkin is Elkin’s first solo show in London.
Kathryn Elkin (Belfast, 1983) is an artist working with performance, video and writing. Her idiosyncratic, self-reflexive and at times hilariously absurd video works deal with roleplaying and improvising, often resembling simplified versions of music videos and TV talk shows. In her work, Elkin fuses biographical memory with shared cultural memory (popular music, television and cinema), offering a comparison of the way in which we experience art to the ways and means it is understood culturally.
Elkin is a graduate of Glasgow School of Art (2005) and Goldsmiths College (2012) and former LUX Associate Artist (2013). She is currently based in Berwick Upon Tweed.
Join us for a breakfast viewing of the Manon de Boer Three Works. Tea, coffee and pastries will be provided. All welcome drop in anytime between 9 am – 10.30 am.
LUX is proud to present a solo exhibition of Brussel based artist. De Boer 16mm works combine the rigour, self-reflexivity and minimalism of structural cinema, with the fragile, poetic and intangible. In her work, which often revolves around portraiture, de Boer explores the relationship between sound and image, personal narration and musical interpretation.
The exhibition at LUX features three films, produced over a 10 year period, in which de Boer observes the conditions for creative practice, with an emphasis on the untutored and playful creativity of children and teenagers. The central work, the new film Caco, João, Mava and Rebecca developed at the Calouste Gubelkian Museum is the second instalment of an on-going trilogy titled From nothing to something to something else which focuses on the moments when time and freedom allow for experimentation to transform into creation, giving rise to something from nothing. It is accompanied at LUX by two previous works, The Untroubled Mind and Dissonant.
