Victor Grippo: Tables of work and reflection: - Influential Argentinean artist
Victor Grippo's (1936 - 2002) sculptures and installations explore themes of alchemy
and the struggle and protest against oppression. Grippo emerged as an artist in the
politically-charged climate of 1950s Argentina.
David Austen: Smoking Moon - David Austen's much-anticipated first film is witty
also sad and affecting. At the same time an illusion, a trick with light and a self
portrait.
