Screening of works by conceptual artists who used film to record statements and propose ideas

​The second in a series of three screenings to accompany the exhibition Conceptual Art in Britain 1964–1979.

By expanding the definition of what an artwork could be, artists began exploring the ephemeral and time-based possibilities of film and video. This became a central focus for many artists questioning the material and aesthetic conditions of their work, as well as its duration. Film was primarily a documenting medium; using the camera as a means of recording statements and proposing ideas. Here we present a selection of those propositions, including works by Roger Ackling, Braco Dimitrijević, David Dye, David Lamelas, Tony Morgan and Zoran Popovic.
