UnSpooling : Artists & Cinema

2 Oct 2010-9 Jan 2011

Overview

A series of fly-posters reconstructing Jean-Luc Godard’s infamous long take from Weekend; a new restaurant canopy creates a portal into the fantastic and a guerrilla-style re-enactment of Luchino Visconti’s Death in Venice are just some of the things art lovers and cinema-goers alike may encounter as they explore the work of 20 artists dispersed throughout Cornerhouse and beyond this Autumn. Celebrating 25 years of Cornerhouse and produced as part of Abandon Normal Devices, the curators, Andrew Bracey and Dave Griffiths present UnSpooling – Artists & Cinema, a large and ambitious group exhibition that straddles two giant bodies of reference – art and cinema – showing 20 international artists: Michaël Borremans, Cartune Xprez, David Claerbout, Benedict Drew, Sally Golding, Ben Gwilliam & Matt Wand, Roman Kirschner, Kerry Laitala, Wayne Lloyd, Elizabeth McAlpine, Sheena Macrae, Juhana Moisander, Alex Pearl, Greg Pope, Mario Rossi, Gebhard Sengmüller, Harald Smykla, Ming Wong and Stefan Zeyen.
