George Barber/ Beyond Language

07.30PM - 09:30PM | Free

Picture This

In collaboration with LUX, Picture this presents a screening of a new DVD publication on George Barber, published by London’s leading moving image agency, LUX. A pioneer of British video art, George Barber gained an international reputation with Scratch Video. Moving away from Scratch in the early 90’s, Barber created many low-tech video pieces and was influential in defining the then emergent ‘slacker’ aesthetic. Curated by artist Matthew Noel-Tod.
