Rebecca Shatwell, Director of AV Festival, will chair this talk with Vicki and susan as they discuss their latest works. Come along to find out more about how they have engaged with visual archvies as part of their practices and receive a complimentary glass of wine.
This event also marks the launch of a new publication celebrating lok's work Faster, Higher, published by Film and Video Umbrella, which features extensive visual documentation of this major multi-screen installation, alongside specially commissioned essays from critics Adrian Rifkin and Chris Berry.
Event presented in collaboration with Film and Video Umbrella.
