Lost and Found: Video and Installation Works 1976-2010
| Streetlevel Photoworks, Trongate 103, Glasgow, G1 5HD
16th April - 30th May 2010 
| Lost and Found is an exhibition which will reconstruct some early video installations from 2 key events in Glasgow in the 70s and 80s: ‘Video – towards Defining an Aesthetic’ (Third Eye Centre, 1976) and EventSpace 1 (Transmission, 1986). Presented in collaboration with the REWIND project in Dundee, it includes works by Tony Sinden, Stephen Partridge, Stephen Littman, Pictorial Heroes, Zoe Redman and Kevin Atherton.
In the early days of video art, technological advancements were providing new opportunities for its development. The Videowall was a powerful new tool for the progression of the installational ideas of video art as a whole at the time. At Transmission in 1986 this was tested for the first time and then followed up at the first Video Positive Festival in 1989. |
Kill Your Timid Notion 2010
| Dundee Contemporary Arts
26-28th Feb 2010 
| As part of KYTN, Rewind has curated Kevin Atherton's 'Video Times' (1984) piece to coincide with the the festival's theme of 'non-art'.
Conceived of as a dual publication, video cassette and booklet, to be presented as an installation. The content of the videotape is the artist watching television. Illuminated by the flickering glow of the TV set the artist as TV viewer earnestly peers out of the screen whilst simultaneously balancing a cup of tea and a chocolate eclair on his lap. The printed booklet, which parodies a weekly TV guide, humorously brings the piece full circle by providing a detailed second by second guide to his actions. |

DVD Launch & Performance of In Two Minds by Kevin Atherton
| Stills, 23 Cockburn Street, Edinburgh EH1 1BP
Thursday 22 October 7pm Free 
| In Two Minds is a two monitor installation first exhibited in the Serpentine Gallery, London in 1978. This work consisted of Atherton on one video monitor asking questions of himself on the other monitor. The questions, typically of that time, largely address the nature of the piece itself. At the time of making the piece he had no intention of using it beyond the Serpentine show, the rough and ready state of the black and white tapes attest to this. However, the 'open' or 'incomplete' nature of the work allows him to 're-enter' it and create a new live version, where as a 58 year old man he can answer questions put to him by his 27 year old former self.

Scratch Video
| Dundee Contemporary Arts, Cinema 2
Tues 1st April 2008, 6pm, £3
16th - 21st March 2009  | A screening of a series of videos from the ‘Scratch Video’ genre which was prevalent in the 1980s and has generally been forgotten about in contemporary culture. This genre was the first to use samples of video and mix them with sampled music and sound, leading into the dance music generation of the early 1990s. The works that will be shown are some of the best examples of this work from British artists.
These works use as their source, extracts from archive footage, news bulletins, old feature films and TV footage. They allude to socio-political and contemporary events such as the Cold War and Thatcher’s Britain. Some of the issues raised are still relevant today. Artists featured: George Barber/Kim Flitcroft & Sandra Goldbacher/Jeffery Hinton/The Duvet Brothers/John Scarlett-Davis/John Maybury/Gorilla Tapes/Akiko Hada & Holger Hiller/Chris Meigh-Andrews/Nick Cope. |
