Opening and #100: Ed Atkins

OPENING | VIDEOART AT MIDNIGHT Festival '18

#100: Ed Atkins
Ed Atkins makes videos, writes and draws, developing a complex and deeply figured discourse around definition, wherein the impossibilities for sufficient representations of the physical, specifically corporeal world are hysterically rehearsed. For VIDEOART AT MIDNIGHT Atkins will show a specially compiled edit of his works from the past decade. Encompassing computer generated animation, performance capture, stock assemblage and emo musical theatre, the screening will be punctuated by previously unseen works, tests and teasers, as well as live performances by the artist.
