The Place of Artists' Cinema: Space, Site and Screen - New publication launched

The Place of Artists’ Cinema: Space, Site and Screen, by IADT lecturer Maeve Connolly, was launched at the Irish Pavilion at Venice on June 6. 

 

The Place of Artists’ Cinema: Space, Site and Screen examines the relationship between place, site and cinema within contemporary art, focusing on a selection of multi-screen installations, site-specific projects and feature-length films produced over the past decade. It also explores changing structures of funding and exhibition, tracing the circulation of film and video works within public art contexts, galleries, museums, biennial exhibitions and art fairs. The book includes in-depth readings of works by Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Carlos Amorales, Gerard Byrne, Tacita Dean, Jeremy Deller, Stan Douglas, Willie Doherty, Pierre Huyghe, Jaki Irvine, Aernout Mik, Tobias Putrih, Anne Tallentire and Jane & Louise Wilson, among others.
