JEMIMA
STEHLI
Lisson Gallery is delighted to announce an exhibition by Jemima Stehli
at 27-29 Bell Street.
In this new body of work, Jemima Stehli is an identifiable presence, but
far from creating self-portraiture we see her engaging in a series of
‘performances’ in which she uses her naked body to challenge
notions of desire, narcissism, and sexuality.

JANA HALDRICH
AND DAVID DAVIES
Installation for The Brunswick Centre
Jana Haldrich and David Davies dress the famous façade (‘like
a taut, swank chest with its wide bays and long, slinky pillars or ribs’)
overlooking Brunswick Square with a large-scale fabric installation. Lengths
of debris netting hang from the roof within each of the four central bays,
cradling the Renoir Cinema. Across the face of the four bays, a length
of netting hangs from the roof to form a pelmet. The whole forms a square
approximately 20 x 20 metres, at once giant, domestic net or stage curtain,
or tailored blouse.
Seen from within the Centre at ground floor shopping level, the installation
appears like the hem of a slip or see-through skirt, sweeping over the
heads of the public passing through the bays. Secured only at the roof
and hanging freely within the bays, the fabric moves with the prevailing
wind, breathing with a life of its own.

'Extraordinary...I urge you to get a ticket' Observer 'astonishing ' Daily
Telegraph 'A film of raw power'
**** Total Film
Winner Golden Bear - Berlin Film Festival 2003
Torn from the headlines, Michael Winterbottom's compelling new film follows
Jamal, a young Afghan, as he embarks on a hazardous overland trip from
the refugee camp at Peshawar through Iran, Turkey, Italy and France to
Sangatte and into the heart of London where he becomes 'M1187511'. Winterbottom
and his brilliant writer Tony Grisoni have struck a fine balance between
the fictional and documentary elements of the film and they give us cause
to see behind the headlines at the broader political and moral concerns.

The Man Without a Past (Mies Vailla Menneisyytta)
'Pure cinematic joy' Sight & Sound
'sublime... the feel-good success of the festival' Observer
'A rare pleasure' Guardian
A delirious mixture of black comedy, film noir and love story, Kaurismäki's
rapturously received film triumphed at the Cannes Film Festival where
it took a multitude of prizes. Markku Pellota plays the title character
'M' a man who arrives in Helsinki to be set upon by thugs and pronounced
dead by medics. By some miracle he comes to, wandering the streets with
no memory of his past or his identity. Rebuilding his life from scratch,
'M' acquires a dog named Hannibal and falls in love with a Salvation Army
volunteer. But the past inevitably catches up with him and the man must
then confront his future.

ICA PROJECTS/DOCUMENTA
Derrida
'Blissful ... a pleasure to watch' New York Times 'Inspirational and unexpectedly
moving' Film Comment This award-winning film is an intimate portrait of
the brilliant, controversial philosopher and intellectual icon Jacques
Derrida, whose theory of 'deconstruction' has deeply influenced the studies
of literature, philosophy, ethics, architecture and law, indelibly marking
the intellectual landscape of the 20th and 21st centuries. Combining rare
private footage of Derrida with his reflections on deconstruction, violence,
love and death, the film investigates the concept of biography and explores
the relationship between the public and the private.
Dir Kirby Dick/Amy Ziering Kofman, US 2002, 85 mins

Ten
'profoundly compassionate, funny, wise... Time Out
'mesmerising and brilliant...' Daily Telegraph
' ***** the very best of the year' Guardian
Kiarostami's latest film took last year's Cannes Film Festival by storm
with not only its revelation of the emotional life of contemporary Iran,
but its extraordinary, Godardian reinvention of the cinematic form itself.
Focusing tightly on a driver (the wonderful Mania Akbari) and her passengers,
Ten opens on an incredible exchange with her young son, the very
model of burgeoning masculinity. We meet her sister, an elderly woman
going to prayer, a prostitute and a heartbroken friend, as the driver
and her passengers argue, joke, cajole and console one another through
the course of ten brief journeys.
Dir Abbas Kiarostami, France/Iran 2002, 94 mins, Farsi with English subtitles

5 Apr-18 May 12-7.30pm daily (13 Apr, 4.30-7.30pm; closed 29 Apr) BECK'S
FUTURES 2003 'Dedicated to the support of developing artists, Beck's Futures
has established itself as one of the country's premier art prizes' Independent
The ICA is delighted to present Beck's Futures 2003, featuring an eclectic
mix of some of the most exciting artists now working in the UK. It includes
an internet 'cyber globe' under constant bombardment created by Nick Crowe,
public interventions by Lucy Skaer and the artist-collective Inventory,
work exploring the tools of corporate marketing by Carey Young, performance-derived
videos by Alan Currall, David Sherry and Bernd Behr, a short film by Rosalind
Nashashibi examining cultural displacement, and a vibrating and moaning
mummy by Francis Upritchard. Much of the work in this year's exhibition
explores the points at which art grapples with and appropriates everyday
routines and public spaces, blurring the boundaries between reality and
fiction. As well as photographs, drawings and sculpture, many works have
a presence beyond the gallery through interventions and performances in
the public realm, engagement with broadcast media and the internet. This
year's selection was made by the curators Russell Ferguson (Chief Curator,
UCLA Hammer Museum); Maria Lind (Director, Kunstverein Munich); Hans Ulrich
Obrist (Independent Curator); and the artist Michael Landy, who is the
Chair of the panel. Beck's Futures is the result of an ongoing collaboration
between the ICA and Beck's and has established a reputation for identifying
and supporting the work of the most promising artists in the UK. Each
of the participating artists will receive a share of the £40,000
awards-fund that goes towards making Beck's Futures the UK's most generous
arts awards. One artist will be selected for a further overall award of
£20,000. The exhibition is accompanied by a limited-edition publication
with contributions from J G Ballard and Hans Ulrich Obrist, and art historian
and writer Michael Archer. A free newsprint exhibition guide will also
be available. Beck's Futures 2003 subsequently travels to the CCA, Glasgow
and Southampton City Art Gallery. Mon - Fri: £1.50, £1.00

Tina Frank, Fuzzy Motion: Pictures Without Legs 1995-2002
Best known for her design and video work for Austrian record label Mego,
Tina Frank has become a leading figure operating at the intersection of
music, graphic design and the moving image. Frank has collaborated with
the likes of Mathias Gmachl of Farmers Manual with whom she formed Skot
- an audiovisual 'band', Chicks on Speed, Christian Fennesz, Hecker and
labels such as Chocolate Industries, Idea Recordings and Staubgold. The
Digital Studio presents the London premiere of Fuzzy Motion - Pictures
Without Legs, a collection of Frank's works released on DVD by the Japanese
label GAS. A mélange of Frank 'classics' and adventures in new
media and the moving image, this is a unique opportunity to sample over
twenty works from 7 years of Frank's work on Mego and other projects.
The exhibition includes works ranging from the well-known 'Aus' (music
by Christian Fennesz) to Skot vs. Hecker - a 30 minute live videowork,
characterised by shredded type and crude pixel magnifications - the look

SPACEMEN 4th April - 11th May 2003
Imagine the scene; every week three artists meet up in various old man
boozers dotted around Bethnal Green. They're waiting to sign the lease
on the most miserably damp rat infested railway arch this side of the
city, but they just don't care, They have a vision and they call it MOT
and while they wait, they drink and while they drink they talk about art.
Slowly the weeks slip by in much the same way, when suddenly, out of the
blue another property comes to the attention of our three heroes, five
floors up in an old GLC work unit with to die for views. Suddenly MOT
erupts onto the face of the art world.
MOT is one year old and to celebrate we decided to take a look at the
artists behind such ventures as our own. We thought long and hard about
whom to include and then went out into the wilderness to spread the word.
While in the field we honed our curatorial project into a lean mean fighting
machine of a show. What was it that made small groups of artists get together
and show other artists while at the same time managing their own practice?
What was their work like and did it relate to what they chose to show
in their own space? Some artists didn't make work any more and some spaces
were about to close but finally we came up with a small group of artist
run galleries that fitted all our criteria and in some way mirrored what
we were trying to do. In the interests of community MOT opened its doors
and in a celebration of a genre that has produced many of the world's
leading artists and created the most inventive curation MOT brings you
London's latest breed of spacemen.
Five Years is the oldest of the spaces whose founders we wish to include
and the only group temporarily without a space. They were finally evicted
from their premises on Underwood St last year. It was founded in July
1998 by Alex Schady, Marc Hulson, Edward Dorrian and Dennise Hawrysio.
Although one of the criteria for spacemen was to include artists who were
running a gallery at the moment we felt that as Five Years were actively
seeking a new property that their operation had not ceased and that it
was still valid to include them.
Keith Talent opened in March 2002, only one month before MOT. As it was
so close to us in age and location it was the first space that we approached.
The two artists behind Keith Talent are Simon Pittuck and Andrew Clarkin.
After inviting them to participate they started making paintings together
and have chosen to show one of these pieces as Keith Talent.
The Jeffrey Charles Gallery was established by artist's Kev Rice and Dave
Smith in the summer of 2001. The gallery is focused on a program of experimental
exhibitions, designed to put disparate art works together, to interact
both physically and cognitively.
1 000 000 mph is a new project space in Bethnal Green run by Kate Grieve
and Dallas Seitz. Their intention for 1 000 000 mph is to provide opportunity
for selected artists and curators to take up residence, concluding in
an exhibition of the (work) developed in the space during residency.
Hoxton Distillery is co-ordinated by John Hanson and Richard Paul. and
has been located above the Macbeth Public House since February 2001. Although
it is not the only gallery above a pub in London, this space is respected
by artists for its independence from the commercial market.
In 2001 Richard Priestley and Milika Muritu founded Cell Project Space
within a wing of a lunatic asylum of a disused mental hospital in Tysen
Street. They later moved to larger premises, a disused zip factory in
Arcola Street, Hackney. Cell is an independent project space with a commitment
to providing space for new works and curatorial practice.
There are obviously many more artist run spaces in London, the UK and
even the world but MOT is just too small to encompass the whole picture,
instead we wanted to provide a snapshot of a specific location which has
acted as a magnet for artists and galleries, catch that moment and show
some of the people that are responsible for creating the magnetic field.
So feel the force as the MOT tractor beam locks onto you and remember
that in space no one can hear you scream. This is the final frontier,
so boldly go and seek the Spacemen.

In This World
'Extraordinary...I urge you to get a ticket' Observer 'astonishing ' Daily
Telegraph 'A film of raw power'
**** Total Film
Winner Golden Bear - Berlin Film Festival 2003
Torn from the headlines, Michael Winterbottom's compelling new film follows
Jamal, a young Afghan, as he embarks on a hazardous overland trip from
the refugee camp at Peshawar through Iran, Turkey, Italy and France to
Sangatte and into the heart of London where he becomes 'M1187511'. Winterbottom
and his brilliant writer Tony Grisoni have struck a fine balance between
the fictional and documentary elements of the film and they give us cause
to see behind the headlines at the broader political and moral concerns.
Dir Michael Winterbottom UK 2002, 89 mins, English subtitles
**First Run

ICA PROJECTS
The Man Without a Past (Mies Vailla Menneisyytta)
'Pure cinematic joy' Sight & Sound
'sublime... the feel-good success of the festival' Observer
'A rare pleasure' Guardian
A delirious mixture of black comedy, film noir and love story, Kaurismäki's
rapturously received film triumphed at the Cannes Film Festival where
it took a multitude of prizes. Markku Pellota plays the title character
'M' a man who arrives in Helsinki to be set upon by thugs and pronounced
dead by medics. By some miracle he comes to, wandering the streets with
no memory of his past or his identity. Rebuilding his life from scratch,
'M' acquires a dog named Hannibal and falls in love with a Salvation Army
volunteer. But the past inevitably catches up with him and the man must
then confront his future.

ICA PROJECTS/DOCUMENTA
Derrida
'Blissful ... a pleasure to watch' New York Times 'Inspirational and unexpectedly
moving' Film Comment This award-winning film is an intimate portrait of
the brilliant, controversial philosopher and intellectual icon Jacques
Derrida, whose theory of 'deconstruction' has deeply influenced the studies
of literature, philosophy, ethics, architecture and law, indelibly marking
the intellectual landscape of the 20th and 21st centuries. Combining rare
private footage of Derrida with his reflections on deconstruction, violence,
love and death, the film investigates the concept of biography and explores
the relationship between the public and the private.
Dir Kirby Dick/Amy Ziering Kofman, US 2002, 85 mins
ICA PROJECTS
Ten
'profoundly compassionate, funny, wise... Time Out
'mesmerising and brilliant...' Daily Telegraph
' ***** the very best of the year' Guardian
Kiarostami's latest film took last year's Cannes Film Festival by storm
with not only its revelation of the emotional life of contemporary Iran,
but its extraordinary, Godardian reinvention of the cinematic form itself.
Focusing tightly on a driver (the wonderful Mania Akbari) and her passengers,
Ten opens on an incredible exchange with her young son, the very
model of burgeoning masculinity. We meet her sister, an elderly woman
going to prayer, a prostitute and a heartbroken friend, as the driver
and her passengers argue, joke, cajole and console one another through
the course of ten brief journeys.
Dir Abbas Kiarostami, France/Iran 2002, 94 mins, Farsi with English subtitles
Theorem
'perfect...' Time Out
Terence Stamp plays a stranger who descends upon a wealthy family and
seduces every one of them. Leaving as swiftly as he arrived, the family
finds their life in ruins. Dir Pier Paolo Pasolini, Italy 1968, 98 mins,

EXHIBITION @ the ICA
5 Apr-18 May 12-7.30pm daily (13 Apr, 4.30-7.30pm; closed 29 Apr) BECK'S
FUTURES 2003 'Dedicated to the support of developing artists, Beck's Futures
has established itself as one of the country's premier art prizes' Independent
The ICA is delighted to present Beck's Futures 2003, featuring an eclectic
mix of some of the most exciting artists now working in the UK. It includes
an internet 'cyber globe' under constant bombardment created by Nick Crowe,
public interventions by Lucy Skaer and the artist-collective Inventory,
work exploring the tools of corporate marketing by Carey Young, performance-derived
videos by Alan Currall, David Sherry and Bernd Behr, a short film by Rosalind
Nashashibi examining cultural displacement, and a vibrating and moaning
mummy by Francis Upritchard. Much of the work in this year's exhibition
explores the points at which art grapples with and appropriates everyday
routines and public spaces, blurring the boundaries between reality and
fiction. As well as photographs, drawings and sculpture, many works have
a presence beyond the gallery through interventions and performances in
the public realm, engagement with broadcast media and the internet. This
year's selection was made by the curators Russell Ferguson (Chief Curator,
UCLA Hammer Museum); Maria Lind (Director, Kunstverein Munich); Hans Ulrich
Obrist (Independent Curator); and the artist Michael Landy, who is the
Chair of the panel. Beck's Futures is the result of an ongoing collaboration
between the ICA and Beck's and has established a reputation for identifying
and supporting the work of the most promising artists in the UK. Each
of the participating artists will receive a share of the £40,000
awards-fund that goes towards making Beck's Futures the UK's most generous
arts awards. One artist will be selected for a further overall award of
£20,000. The exhibition is accompanied by a limited-edition publication
with contributions from J G Ballard and Hans Ulrich Obrist, and art historian
and writer Michael Archer. A free newsprint exhibition guide will also
be available. Beck's Futures 2003 subsequently travels to the CCA, Glasgow
and Southampton City Art Gallery. Mon - Fri: £1.50, £1.00

TALKS @ the
ICA
Fri 11 Apr,
7pm
War and Law
When is a war a war - and when is it just containment? When are we justified
in declaring war? Increasingly, wars are being fought by coalitions of
allies, which makes a common interpretation of the law almost impossible.
Can there be a justification, in law, for taking pre-emptive action? And
how can we call nations like the US to account if they use banned weapons?
Speakers include: Gerry Simpson, author of The Law of War Crimes; Gwyn
Prins, senior fellow at the Institute of International Affairs, who affirms
both a legal and moral duty to rid Iraq of Saddam; James Gow, professor
of international peace and security at Kings, advisor to the government
and the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia; and
Rabinder Singh, QC, of Matrix Chambers, who represented CND in the recent
case against the Government about resolution 1441. Mary Riddell, Observer
journalist, is in the chair. £8, £7 Concs. £6 ICA Members
Nash Room
Mon 14 Apr,
7pm
Muthafigure
Tiernay Gearon and Rachel Cusk are bad mothers. Gearnon's sweetly candid
photographs of her children were widely condemned as inadvertently pornographic.
Cusk's exquisite memoir, A Life's Work, drew criticism for its ambivalent
portrayal of the joys of motherhood. What are the forces being brought
to bear on mothers to be perfect? Has the parent/child bond been over
sentimentalised or are parents the next in line in the war of childhood.
They are joined by Denise Riley, poet, writer and academic, and author
of the ground-breaking War in the Nursery: Theories of the Child and Mother,
which examines the relationship between the natural, biological, and social
aspects of motherhood. £8, £7 Concs. £6 ICA Members
Nash Room
Tue 15 Apr, 6.45pm
Brats: Peter Biskind on Spielberg
No other (adult) artist understands the child's mind like Steven Spielberg.
Pauline Kael said of ET, '...it reminds you of all the goofiest dreams
you had as a kid, and rehabilitates them' Supremely talented at unearthing
our sense of wonder, Spielberg is also as guilty as anyone with regard
to cinema's infantilisation. Is childishness both Spielberg's greatest
virtue, and his fatal flaw? Tonight's speakers discuss our desire to feel
like children and how this might inform our relationship with Spielberg,
and reflect on the pleasures of (mis)remembering childhood innocence.
Peter Biskind is author of the definitive history of the movie brats,
Easy Riders, Raging Bulls, novelist Nicholas Blincoe's books include Acid
Casuals and Jello Salad, and Ryan Gilby is author of the recently published
examination of 1970's American film, It Don't Worry Me.

DAN McDERMOTT
‘CRUISE’
Exhibition
Date: Tuesday 01/04/03 – 03/05/03
Opening Preview (Serving Mixed Cocktails): Tuesday 01/04/03 7.00pm –
9.00pm
Contact: Zavier Ellis / Aniko Pall
DAN McDERMOTT graduated from University of Northumbria in Newcastle in
1995 with a BA (Hons) in Contemporary Art Practice. He is now working
from a studio in the Yorkshire Dales.
McDermott
has achieved great notoriety for his brand of retro American photo-realism
since his debut show with Clapham Art Gallery in 2001. By applying extraordinary
painting skills to photographically sourced images McDermott creates dynamic
canvases with a unique and indulgent style.
This new
body of work is a combination of images derived from American film and
television and stills taken from McDermott’s own super 8 films made
in New York last year. In treating the original image with many developmental
generations from film through digital photography to the interpretation
from photograph to paint, McDermott leaves us with a filmic sense of heightened
reality. Speeding cars set against urban backdrops or aerial views of
cities are degenerated and blurred as colour and contrast levels are exaggerated
and emphasised.
McDermott’s
canvases are rich in tone and colour, creating iconic impressions of urban
America from LA to New York and San Francisco. Each image implies a story
and a journey, some withholding a lurking intent or eeriness. They are
deeply atmospheric, representing in one moment everything that we were
presented from the U.S. in our distant living room seats from the 1970’s
onwards.
