Description
This lecture will outline some of the major characteristics of British Structural-Materialism as it developed in the 1960s, paying particular attention to works produced at the London Filmmakers Co-op by artists such as Lis Rhodes, Malcolm Le Grice, Guy Sherwin, and Annabel Nicolson. We will be looking at the ways these filmmakers foregrounded process as a way of challenging conventional illusionism. The lecture will also track the development of this approach, assessing its continued relevance in contemporary analogue filmmaking.
