About the speakers
Lucy Reynolds is an artist, writer and curator interested in the generative power of the spaces, discourses and memories of feminism. Her own films, performances and installations have shown in galleries and cinemas nationally, most recently in Film in Space at Camden Arts Centre (2012/13) and as part of 3AM: Wonder, Paranoia and the Restless Night at the Bluecoat Gallery, Liverpool. Her articles on artists’ moving image have appeared in journals such as Afterall, Millenium Film Journal and Vertigo, and she has curated film programmes for museums and galleries such as Tate Modern and Mukha, Antwerp. She runs the MRES: Art: Moving Image, a research based MA devoted to the study of artists moving image at Central St Martins, in association with LUX.
Guy Sherwin studied painting at Chelsea School of Art in the late 1960s. His subsequent film works often use serial forms and live elements, and engage with light, time and sound as fundamental to cinema. Sherwin was guest curator of Film in Space, an exhibition of expanded cinema at Camden Arts Centre London 2012-3. He taught printing and processing at the London Film-Makers’ Co-op (now LUX) during the mid-70s and his films were included in Film as Film, Hayward Gallery 1979; Live in Your Head, Whitechapel Gallery 2000; Shoot Shoot Shoot, Tate Modern 2002 and A Century of Artists’ Film & Video Tate Britain 2003/4.
