Over the next few months I will be working with the Cuming Museum on a new commission in partnership with Better Bankside and South Tower Social. The project will culminate in a solo show of new works in November 2010. More information to follow shortly.
Still from the Other Side of the Underneath, Dir. Jane Arden, 1972.
Jane Arden was, amongst other things, a film director, actor, screenwriter, and poet. Following her death in 1982 her creative output has failed to achieve deserved recognition amongst that of her peers. As one of the only female directors producing feature length films during the 1970s this near omission from the history of radical cinema is a concern that needs be urgently reassessed.
Excerpt from the Jane Arden Project:
By asking women artists to respond to the viewing of two of her films, Separation and The Other Side of the Underneath, the Jane Arden Project aims to draw attention, not only to Arden’s work, but the influence and stimulus her work is able to bring to a new generation of artists, writers and filmmakers.
The project is lead by artist and activist Charlotte Procter and will culminate in a limited edition artist bookwork and accompanying exhibition, which will include my own contribution amongst others including the work of Elaine Tierney, Susanne Bürner, Mia Clarke, and Sophie Brown. The project is supported by the BFI.
