TIME REVEALING TRUTH
A Celebration of the Life and Work of Tamara Krikorian and Tony Sinden

Tuesday 27 October 2009, 18.30pm, Tate Modern Starr Auditorium

During the Summer, the world lost two important British artists who pioneered the use of the moving image in the gallery during the 1970s Tamara Krikorian and Tony Sinden.

Both artists were featured recently in the conference Expanded Cinema: Activating the Space of Reception at Tate Modern this April.

In this celebratory programme, friends, partners and fellow artists will share recollections, show films and videos, and introduce video-interviews with both artists, followed by a reception. The evening is hosted by Stuart Comer and AL Rees.

'Tamara Krikorian was a founding member of London Video Arts (LVA), and instigated collaborative shows of artists' work including the first exhibition of video in Scotland, 'Video Towards Defining an Aesthetic', at the Third Eye Centre, Glasgow in 1976. She also organised conferences and art forums, and wrote a number of key texts during the early period. Krikorian's work was complex in its layering of meanings, and lyrical, often exploring the blurred edges between representation and the real; the static and the moving, and her ambient electronic installations explored technological landscapes as well as the recorded images of landscape.' - Jackie Hatfield

Tony Sinden's career spanned three decades of substantial production, experiment and exhibition, showing at institutions including the ICA, Serpentine and Hayward Gallery; Arnolfini Gallery, Bristol and Third Eye Centre, Glasgow. He worked across mediums: single screen 16mm, expanded 16mm, video, installation, slide and site related. Sinden collaborated with David Hall in the early to late 1970s, participating in inaugural shows such as 'The Video Show' at the Serpentine Gallery in 1975 with the seminal installation 101 TV Sets.

This event has been organised by the British Artists Film and Video Study Collection at Central St Martins, College of Art & Design, REWIND, LUX and Tate Modern, and coincides with the launch of REWIND + PLAY, An Anthology of Early British Video Art http://bit.ly/28Tlwv
