INDEPENDENT HEROINES: ART
Wed 9th / 7.30pm / £4)
+++++"It Ain't What You Do, It's The Way That You Do It."+++++
'It ain't what you do...' is an arty night with arty guests who all do things in a collaborative way. What happens when artists become curators and organise their own art world? Inspiring and shining examples of how women socialise themselves to work together to make things happen. Discussing these topics with IH curators will be special guests Emma Hedditch (Cinenova women's film archive, Lux, Miranda July collaborator) Louise Short (Station Gallery, artist, curator) and Cathy Lomax and Alex Michon (Arty magazine).
ICELANDIC LOVE CORPORATION SHORTS
We are very honoured to screen shorts by the performance collective from Reykjavik who make work that makes you feel everything girly, other worldly and all the love you can feel.

(Various / USA / 2004/ 62min / DVD)
Elusive Quality is a collection of short video works curated by Astria Suparak and Lauren Cornell for Explosion LTTR, a feminist queer art imprint from NYC and shown at the Liverpool Biennale. Elusive Quality explores the idea of failure in relation to fantasies of athletic, sexual, and political mastery. Consciously inglorious and imperfect, they reset the goalposts for success and then win at their own games. Nice jobs to all!
