Natalie Reckert: Selfie with Eggs @ Jacksons Lane
Tickets
Jul 21 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm

If Kraftwerk made circus it would look something like this: comedy meets electro-robotic-vogueing in an epic feat of handstand endurance!

Natalie Reckert is a German hand balancer who loves to dance to electronic beats and read Wikipedia articles about load experiments. In her highly skilled one-woman experiment, she tests the limits of the body and the stability of quite a lot of eggs. Brilliantly absurd and totally unique.

Introduction to Artists’ Moving Image @ LUX
Tickets
Nov 19 @ 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Introduction to Artists’ Moving Image @ LUX | London | England | United Kingdom

Using key works from the LUX archive – the largest collection of artists film and video in the country – this short introductory course will trace and discuss artists’ engagement with the moving image throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, from the early pioneers of the 1920s to contemporary practitioners. We will explore through active discussion the relationship between art and cinema and the place and role of the moving image within contemporary visual arts today.

No previous knowledge is required, just a curiosity to see and find out more about this fascinating area of art practice.

Led by Maria Palacios Cruz, LUX Deputy Director.

LUX Deputy Director Maria Palacios Cruz is a curator and lecturer of avant-garde cinema and artists’ moving image. She has lectured at Kingston University, Central Saint Martins, Academie Royale des Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles and Ecole de Recherche Graphique.
