Movements


24 March -

Northern Gallery for Contemporary Art
&
Reg Vardy Gallery,
Sunderland

Movements brings together a series of artist film and video works by some of the most progressive artists operating within this medium today in order to question what dominant interests remain relevant. Turning the NGCA’s project space into a screening room, Movements will present five artists’ films, that are previously unseen within the region, including the premiere of a new work by local artist Ben Jeans Houghton and a work on paper work by Graham Gussin. Each moving image work will be shown on a continuous loop for fourteen days over a ten-week period.

Movements will also present Northern Art Prize winner Paul Rooney’s ‘Thin Air’ as a site-specific exhibition at the Reg Vardy Gallery, University of Sunderland. Rooney’s work presented as a scheduled ‘lecture film’, with supporting notes and previously unseen photography, considers the cosmic significance of the events and memories that are embedded within a building’s physical space and in particular - an art school.
