Flicker

Flicker is a response to Ian White's performance IBIZA: A Reading for 'The Flicker' (2008), and a new collaboration between LUX Associate Artists Kim Coleman and Matthew Noel-Tod.

This work was created for 'Here is Information: Mobilise' at The Showroom, London - a weekend of events celebrating the life and work of Ian White (1971-2013). By the time of his early death in 2013, Ian White was a uniquely influential figure: an artist, performer, curator, teacher and writer, whose ideas had affected a generation of artists working with the moving image. Throughout his various roles, he developed a constellation of concepts around ‘cinema’ – understood by him less as a physical space, or a particular canon of films, but rather as a set of social practices open to radical (political) possibilities.
