*Ken Jacobs, Return to the Scene of the Crime.
Friday 19 September 2008, 19.00*
In a contemporary riff on one of his landmark works, the influential
experimental filmmaker Ken Jacobs uses new technology to both interrogate
and arouse a theatrical tableau, shot in 1905, based on Hogarth's Southwark
Fair. The antique film print is probed, exploded and reconstituted in the
digital domain with radical ingenuity and infectious wit. This extraordinary
new work teaches us how to see.

*The Young and Evil, Curated by Stuart Comer.
Saturday 20 September 2008, 19.00*
Reconsidering the historical contours and shifting relationships of sex and
community in the digital age, a range of artists has been invited to select
two works: one contemporary video shown to be shown online, and one
historical film to be screened in the cinema. Selectors include AA Bronson,
Drew Daniel, William E Jones, Daria Martin, Carlos Motta, Henrik Olesen,
Karol Radziszewski, Emily Roysdon, Bruce Yonemoto and Akram Zaatari.

*She doesn't think so but she's dressed for the h-bomb, curated by Negar
Azimi.
Sunday 21 September 2008, 15.00*
'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. Works by:
Ziad Antar, Shahryrar Nashat, Rosalind Nashashibi, Yael Bartana, Iman Issa,
Hassan Khan, The Atlas Group, Ahmet Ogut and Haris Epaminonda.

*The Whole World, Curated by Ian White
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 including works by
Claude Chuzel, Hollis Frampton, Dalia Neis, Uriel Orlow, Michael Robinson
and Valerie Tevere.
