*January & February 2010*

*Laetitia Benat / Paul McCarthy / Tate Modern*



tank.tv is pleased to welcome in our 2010 programme with an exhibition of
work by the French artist Laetitia Benat.



Benat uses the simplest of video techniques to negotiate and toy with the
way in which emotion and suspense are implied by images. Simple sounds,
shots, sequences and subjects are used to examine the way in which the
viewer is triggered into feeling. Allowing the viewer to extrapolate story
and feeling from so little Benat's work examines the very building blocks of
filmmaking and will be online until the 31st January.



In February tank.tv will be exhibiting a pair of videos from Paul McCarthy.
*Family Tyranny* & *Cultural Soup* were cut from two days of taped
performance at a community television studio in 1987. Featuring McCarthy's
fellow artist Mike Kelley, these videos are filled with the disturbing
images of familial horror and stomach turning abjection that characterise
the artist's renowned body of work. Both works will be available on
www.tank.tv from the 1st - 28th February.



This show is held in conjunction with a screening of McCarthy's Contemporary
Cure All and F-Fort on the 6th February at 7pm at Tate Modern's Starr
Auditorium. Book your tickets early through the Tate box
