Notes on the vertiginous | Events

Flat Time House in partnership with LUX Artists’ Moving Image present Notes on the vertiginous, an afternoon screening and series of presentations

Notes on the vertiginous is presented in response to Ellen Greig’s recent post as Curator in Residence at LUX. Taking John Latham’s 16mm film Erth (1971) as a starting point the event will situate the film within a wider discussion concerning the volume, elasticity and political dimension of our expanded visual territory. Contributors include Dani Admiss, Julieta Aranda and Ellen Greig.

Organised by Ellen Greig, Notes on the Vertiginous is the first in a two-part series of events conceived as part of her residency, VERTIGO at LUX Artists’ Moving Image. The last event in the VERTIGO series will be a curated film screening in partnership with FTHo, LUX and Cinenova at Peckham Plex on Thursday 2 July 2015, 7pm.

Dani Admiss is an independent curator based in London, UK. Her curatorial work explores the exchange between art, design and technology. She is currently curating 'Ground Truth', an exhibition which looks at shifting experiences of subjectivity, territory and tactics, in relation to data and sensing technologies opening September 2015 at Somerset House, UK. Dani has curated exhibitions at the Barbican Centre, London Design Festival, TENT, and Lisbon Architecture Triennale, and has lectured at Kingston University and Vassar University at Goldsmiths College University, London. She is an AHRC PhD researcher at CRUMB, a network for those who ‘exhibit’ new media art at the faculty for Art and Design at Sunderland University, UK. Her academic research investigates emerging types of curatorial practice, focusing on the phenomena of ‘world-building’, critical-infrastructures and networks. Dani studied ‘Visual Cultures’ at Goldsmiths College University (2003-2006) and was awarded an AHRC Partnership Grant for her MA Curating Contemporary Design at Kingston University in partnership with the Design Museum (2011-2012).

Julieta Aranda’s multidimensional practice deals with a range of themes including circulation mechanisms and the idea of a “poetics of circulation”; the politicised subject or the possibility of a politicised subjectivity; the perception and use of time; and one’s power over the imaginary.
