*www.tank.tv** Screenings at Tate Modern *

*Friday 19 September – Sunday 21 September 2008*

*Following the success of the last sell out show, www.tank.tv has once again
teamed up with Tate Modern to bring you a weekend of exciting screenings
curated by some of the world's foremost curators.*

 Ken Jacobs, Return to the Scene of the Crime, Friday 19 September
2008, 19.00

The weekend begins with experimental filmmaker Ken Jacobs' *Return to the
Scene of the Crime* The heartwarming story of a boy who didn't know it's
wrong to steal. Running off with the pig seemed like a good idea at the
time.' In a contemporary riff on one of his landmark works Ken Jacobs uses
new technology to both interrogate and arouse a theatrical tableau, shot in
1905, based on Hogarth's Southwark Fair.



*The Young and Evil, Curated by Stuart Comer, Saturday 20 September
2008, 19.00*

The digital glow of the internet has largely replaced the dark space of the
cinema as the site where furtive desires are first expressed and encountered
on flickering screens. The Young and Evil is a collection of films chosen by
artists including Emily Roysdon, Drew Daniel and Daria Martin, which
reconsider the historical contours and shifting relationships of sex and
community in the digital age. This screening coincides with the current
online exhibition at www.tank.tv in which the artists were invited to select
one contemporary video under the same theme.



*She doesn't think so but she's dressed for the h-bomb, Curated by Negar
Azimi for tank.tv, Sunday 21 September 2008, 15.00*

The current moment is one marked by an abundance of mega-narratives,
sweeping arm gestures, climactic dips, and ascents. How we talk about the
present is almost always wrapped up in some version of the past. In an
afternoon screening 'She doesn't think so but she's dressed for the h-bomb'
explores the weight of diverse histories in defining the current moment -
whether manifest in the form of national myth, ritual, architecture or pop
culture. Including works by Ziad Antar, Yael Bartana and The Atlas Group.


The Whole World, Curated by Ian White for tank.tv, Sunday 21 September
2008, 17.00

Online The Whole World is an ongoing open archive to which anyone can
contribute - an uncensored list of lists inaugurated by considering it as a
formal and political device. Originally selected and submitted works are
reorganized and augmented into this single programme. Works by Uriel Orlow,
Michael Robinson, Hollis Frampton are screened alongside many others to
create an extraordinary list of lists, of the world as we know it – the
whole world.
