Introduction to Artists’ Moving Image @ LUX
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.

Following a very successful concert in February, London Composers Forum takes pride and delight in joining forces for a second time with the London Myriad Ensemble, to present a concert at Lauderdale House, showcasing the music of the ten Forum composers who featured in the February concert.

Since its conception as a professional chamber group in 2004, the London Myriad Ensemble has performed regularly both in the UK and internationally. As first prize International Competition winners in 2009, the ensemble performs a wide repertoire as a flexible ensemble with a wind quartet as its core which expands to quintet when required. ww.londonmyriad.com

With a keen interest in new music and in expanding the repertoire for woodwind chamber ensemble, the London Myriad Ensemble welcomes this second collaboration with London Composers Forum and the chance to explore the broad variety of exciting and accessible music which Forum composers have contributed.

The works in the programme range from jazz-inspired through to pastoral, humorous, festive and elegiac in character and present a fascinating cross-section of the creative mix that makes London Composers Forum a vibrant and dynamic focus for new music in the capital. This concert is supported by the RVW Trust.

London Composers Forum is open to all composers interested in composing contemporary classical music. New members are welcomed regularly. Visit the website: www.londoncomposersforum.org.uk
