'On General Release' explores the origins of
avant-garde film in Britain. It will present a rare
opportunity to see a wide range of avant-garde films
made, or shown, by artists and filmmakers during the
crucial and influential years 1968-1972. It will
include the art school film experiments which laid the
groundwork for the explosion of artists' films during
the 1970s, as well as work by international filmmakers
and artists whose work shaped the idea of avant-garde
film at the time. The exhibition will be comprised of
four thematic programmes: Performance, Art Schools,
The Gallery, and Documentary. The programmes bring
together artists and filmmakers from Fluxus,
Structuralist and Conceptual practices, reflecting the
creative vitality and diversity of the period. 'On
General Release' represents the full spectrum of
experimentation, from classics such as Kenneth Anger's
'Invocation of My Demon Brother' and Carolee
Schneeman's 'In Quest of Meat Joy' to Lutz Becher's
early experimentation with electronic imagery, and
David Crosswaite's virtuoso technical experiments.
