The Young and Evil, curated by Stuart Comer 14th July - 21st September 2008

The digital glow of the internet has largely replaced the dark space of the cinema as the site where furtive desires are first expressed and encountered on flickering screens. Consequently, the web continues to evolve into an uncanny hybrid of personal longing and collective interaction where configurations of watching and being watched take on radically new form. Reconsidering the historical contours and shifting relationships of sex and community in the digital age, a range of artists has been invited to select two works: one contemporary video shown to be shown online, and one historical film to be screened in the cinema. Selectors include Andrea Geyer, William E Jones, Carlos Motta, Emily Roysdon, Akram Zaatari.

The programme derives its title from The Young and Evil, a scandalous exposé of subcultures in Greenwich Village written by Charles Henri Ford […]

The Folkestone Triennial

To Folkestone, a sea resort on the south coast of England to check out the international visual arts triennial. I went on holiday to Folkestone with my mum and dad sometime in the Polaroid 70s. It hasn’t changed much – at least in my memory. More than once I gasped and told V, my travelling companion, “Oh my God, I remember this…” Folkestone remains an unpretentious, fish-and-chips, bucket-and-spade, stripy-towels-and-deckchairs British seaside town which has always had a bit of an inferiority complex (my personal opinion) about not being as useful or as interesting as its near-neighbour Dover.

Little Folkestone has two parts. Below on the seafront is a harbour area through which runs, incongruously, the railway line that carries the Orient Express on its touristic way to Venice. (It doesn’t stop.) And on the Leas cliffs, above the town, is the refined Edwardian sea resort made popular by Edward VII who […]
