Screening Of Peer To Peer And Craig Mulholland In Conversation With Critic Susannah Thompson
-
Sat 12 April 2008 // 14:00
(Sat 12th / 2pm / free / £1 for non Cube members)
Join us for an afternoon screening of Peer to Peer when Glasgow-based artist Craig Mulholland will be in conversation with writer and critic Susannah Thompson. Mulholland's new film Peer to Peer was first shown at Glasgow Film Festival 2008 and now receives its English première at the Cube. The film is part of a wider exhibition at Spike Island, Grandes Et Petites Machines, which continues the artist's investigations into systems of social control and their technological manifestations. This new animated film work sets the dystopian tale of a Surveillance Operator labouring inside a Panopticon against a newly composed libretto. Delivered with knowing bombast, the work contains recurring motifs from the gallery installation and stylistically references the deadpan visuals of Kraftwerk videos and the totalising use of soundtrack in Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange.
Peer to Peer is an Artists Film and Video production supported by the
Scottish Arts Council and Scottish Screen.
Grandes Et Petites Machines is currently showing at Spike Island's galleries 12 April - 25 May and is supported by The Henry Moore Foundation.
