Saturday 14 June 2008, 19.00

Tony Conrad investigates the conditions of video production and presentation in a series of tapes which deconstruct or re-appropriate the techniques of TV. Exploiting the reflexive nature of the medium, he critiques the electronic image and notions of history, theory and authority with an irreverent sense of humour. Postmodernism was never this much fun!

The artist will introduce this programme of rarely seen works, which features Concord Ultimatum (excerpt), Redressing Down, Ipso Facto, Lookers (excerpt), Egypt 2000, No Europe, Accordion and In Line.
