Liveworks Festival 2023: Channels and Spells

Liveworks Festival 2023: Channels and Spells

Channels and Spells surveys the important role PSpace has played in supporting and presenting innovative film and video work throughout its 40-year history. 

This event has passed.

Taking cues from Video Spell, a four-part exhibition series curated by Blair French during 2003–04 at PSpace, Channels and Spells engages with diverse approaches to the performative in video work. 

Fifteen single-channel videos cast an archival spell as they are carefully selected to preserve and evoke the essence of the past. Changing thematic preoccupations are traced alongside an evolution of the analogue-to-digital technologies used over time. Shifting perspectives on identity politics, the body, language, time, and place are animated through performance and persona and writ large through projection and screen. Curated by Daniel Mudie Cunningham to evoke an immersive atmosphere composed from the fragments of their originating video performance installations, Channels and Spells offers a strange and otherworldly experience that still feels familiar; a vestige of this world and of our shared history.
