Multichannel

ArtSway, Sway

Multichannel is a screening programme of artists film and video, organised and curated by ArtSway and SCAN in ArtSway’s galleries. This year’s programme features film and video works by national and international artists and looks to develop the highly successful 2007 Multichannel screening programme. The continuing intention of the curators is to present single screen video works by artists and practitioners who reflect current trends in contemporary lens-based work, as well as screening films by cutting edge practitioners from the previous two decades.

Multichannel has been expanded from the three days of screenings in 2007, to almost three weeks for this year’s programme. In addition, there was an open call for artists to submit work for selection – resulting in 150 high-calibre lens-based artists sending works from across the UK, Europe and as far afield as the United States. Alongside the open call a number of exceptional artists have been invited by the curators to exhibit their work.

The single channel works selected for Multichannel are curated into a screening programme that will cover the following areas: Film/Video and Music; Narrative and Journey; Film/Video as Material; Psychological Narrative. The 35 artists included in the programme have been grouped into an area that the curators feel best reflects themes inherent in their work, and are as follows:

Gallery Talk: Brian McClave: Stereoscopic Video
Wednesday 2 July 2008, 7pm – 9pm
Brighton based artist Brian McClave will give an overview and demonstration in ArtSway’s gallery 2 of his ground breaking stereoscopic video work.

Brian has worked predominantly for the past 12 years with the medium of digital, stereoscopic (3D) video. This technology is informed by lens-based practice from 19th century photography to 21st century digital gaming. McClave’s stereoscopic videos are often multi-layered with information occupying different spatial layers within the 3D environment. This technique allows for a superimposition of related themes and images in a way that is impossible in 2D video work.

Brian began his artistic career in experimental photography, building unusual cameras to perform specific tasks. Later he began to work with digital imaging and digital video, always applying a very experimental approach both technically and artistically. Brian has shown work extensively in the UK, Australia and the United States.
FREE: Booking Essential.
