Katie Barlow

Beaconsfield, London

Visit Palestine

Engineer
Part Six

Katie Barlow has filmed in the occupied territories of Palestine on four separate occasions over the past two turbulent years. From more than one hundred hours of footage, Barlow presents a montage offering a subjective insight into the conditions in which besieged Palestinian communities are living.

The commissioned video work will include documentation of Barlow's personal encounters with individuals caught up in the Middle East conflict ­ such as the family of eighteen year old Ayat, the first and youngest female suicide bomber and twenty three year old Irish peace activist, Caoimhe Butterly, famously shot by Israeli soldiers in Jenin camp ­ and will also include archival footage collected by the film-maker.

Engineer Part Six will involve setting up a small cinema in the lower gallery for daily video presentation of Visit Palestine and will mark the launch of the Beaconsfield café. This is the sixth and final Engineer commission and the full series will be open to the public until 30 May. The final two months of Engineer will be punctuated by special screenings and speakers associated with Visit Palestine, culminating in a Society* barbeque on 28 May featuring Palestinian singer Reem Kelani and her band.

Katie Barlow (born England 1971) is a documentary film-maker and photographer. Barlow has worked as an independent producer, director and camera operator since 1994 on her own projects and for agencies including Channel 5 News, APTN, RTE, Discovery Channel, Channel 4, South West Arts, Cancer Research and MTV.

Engineer is a project in six consecutive parts, beginning in June 2003 and evolving through to the end of May 2004. Over the period, the various exhibition sites at Beaconsfield have been brought into play by individual artists, each new work remaining until the end: six Beaconsfield commissions by Georgina Batty, Susan Collis, Laura Ford, Kerry Stewart, Carina Diepens and Katie Barlow. An Engineer publication will be available from May.

Thursday - Sunday 12 - 6pm

Preview Wednesday 21 April 6 - 9pm with live song by Reem Kelani
