moot INTERLUDE 22nd April 2010

ourtv Interlude The interlude is a one night only break in a series of programmes looking at how the ‘individual' forms the masses and how one takes what is given but works to operate within and without it. ‘Series 1’ started off the season with the premise that general and specific interests are formed through genuine love and interest. Like TV - but what if...... Taking the form of a programmed video reel ‘Series 1’ was broadcast in the guest space of Lothringer 13, Munich, for one week, from the 15th December 2009. We have now reached the first ‘Interlude’ at Moot Gallery Nottingham Thursday 22nd April 2010. Welcome to ourtv, a television channel dedicated to showing artists’ films. This evening’s programme is brought to you in conjunction with Moot Gallery and is a proposal for broadcast. Many images are now experienced without a physical form, jpg, mpeg etc. and perhaps the Internet has reduced the importance of physical, plastic or analogue broadcast media like television. But what has this done to our relationship with this imagery? The selection process of what is seen and how we see it has become less visible, increased access for a larger audience has seen a reduction in quality, a reduction in content and a reduction in value. If the value of art is in its rarity, how does this affect an artist’s film? Film exists for an audience, so how can a film reach an audience and still retain its value? Or is this value in its content, or in its physical or aesthetic form? ourtv would like to make artists’ film and video available to a wider audience but with that physical one-to-one relationship which reflects the integrity of the work itself. In the spirit of cable access, or Glenn O’Brien’s TV Party, avoiding the uneasy gallery experience without the bits and pixels. This is not to take a stance against the internet, but rather, an examination into what this now means for the development of an ‘underground’. Can such a thing exist in a world were it seems anything can be underground one day, and commercial pop the next? The films for series one were chosen for their engagement with this concept of 'underground' or because they could be considered to be 'underground' in some sense. And while each was made by an individual (or individual group) based on their own experience of the world, and that experience is therefore individual, each adopts a similar starting point, using the world as a bank of information and finding where they are or what they see in it. The film and videos for Interlude have been selected due to a structuralised approach to film making:-
