SCREENING & DISCUSSION: UNIDENTIFIED VIETNAM NO. 18

Followed by a discussion with the artists and Simon Sheikh

TOMORROW WEDNESDAY 17 OCTOBER, 7pm

Please join us for a screening of Unidentified Vietnam No. 18 by Lin+Lam (Lana Lin and H. Lan Thao Lam), as part of Lana Lin’s current exhibition at Gasworks. 

Unidentified Vietnam No. 18 reworks archival footage of war-time South Vietnam to examine the contested relationship between Vietnam and the US, nation building and democracy, history and propaganda.

The screening is followed by a discussion between the artists and Simon Sheikh, curator, theorist and Senior Lecturer in Curating at Goldsmiths, University of London.

(Lana Lin, 1997, 16mm, 56min)
Followed by a discussion with the artist and Maxa Zoller.

WEDNESDAY 7 NOVEMBER, 7pm

Almost the Cocktail Hour is an experimental biography of writer Jane Bowles, who was one of the more eccentric characters of the art salon scene of New York and North Africa in the 1940s and '50s, as well as an expatriate, lesbian, alcoholic, and wife of the more celebrated writer and composer Paul Bowles.

The screening is followed by a discussion between the artist and Maxa Zoller, curator and lecturer in moving image art and critical theory at Sotheby’s Institute of Art and Goldsmiths, University of London.

EXHIBITION
 
 
LANA LIN

EXHIBITION CONTINUES UNTIL 18 NOVEMBER 2012
 
This exhibition presents three of New York-based artist Lana Lin's key film works from the 1990s and early 2000s.
 
Often concerned with the relationship to her Taiwanese cultural heritage, these films speculate on the problems of translation across cultures – whether between the so-called East and West, or between our world and other worlds.
