Film and Video Programme: Among the Nightingales Artists: Mounira Al Solh | Jordan Baseman | Oliver Beer | Nina Beier & Marie Lund | Samson Kambalu | Karin Kihlberg & Reuben Henry | Ján Mančuška | Matt Stokes | Pablo Wendel First screened as part of Tatton Park Biennial 2010 Among the Nightingales brings together 9 single channel film and video works by international artists. The works use human relationships and the individual’s existence in relation to wider social groups as their point of departure. The groups are driven by ethereal, social, ideological, or political incentives that sit uncomfortably with mainstream, dominant culture. The artists use a variety stylistic methods in documenting and post-producing; some of the artists document actions performed specifically for the camera, whilst others orchestrate scenarios for individuals to participate in, deliberating the use of film as a constructed narrative and subverting our preconceptions of it.Free/Booking recommended.
