Artspace, Sydney exhibition: Another kind of cinema

2014
Mike Leggett

'Situated Cinema' at Artspace, Sydney by Solomon Nagler & Alexandre Larose. 
'The visibility of the projected image is an issue of physical and cognitive events meeting in space. Situated in the gloom of the gallery are references to cinema, a cultural form until recently regarded purely as a conveyor of story-telling based entertainment, both popular and classical; and cinema as a place, the bricks and mortar where such encounters occur … three screens capture the projected image, one visible, a second invisible and another out of action (a different kind of signification, more later).'  RealTime #120.

Artists for Democracy

Artists for Democracy, an exhibition based upon the archive of Cecilia Vicuña, held in Santiago, Chile, at the Museo de la Memoria y Los Derechos Humanos (the Museum of Memory and Human Rights) and at the Museo Nacional Bellas Artes (the National Museum of Fine Arts). The video Chile Lucha was part of the original exhibition, Artists for Democracy, held at the Royal College of Art, London in 1974, in which over 100 artists, mainly from Britain, contributed work in support of the people of Chile, who one year after the military coup were suffering persecution and deprivation.
