GEORGE BARBER: BEYOND LANGUAGE - SELECTED VIDEO WORKS 1983 - 2008
A pioneer of British video art, once described in Art Monthly as ‘the
Henry Ford of independent video’ George Barber gained an
international reputation with ‘Scratch Video’, an original fast-
cutting, multi-layered rhythmic genre of work in the 1980s. Moving
away from Scratch in the early 1990s, Barber created many low-tech
video pieces and was influential in defining the then emergent
‘slacker’ aesthetic.

EMILY RICHARDSON: 6 FILMS
Emily Richardson’s films explore landscapes and environments to
reveal the way that activity, movement and light is inscribed in
place. Traversing an extraordinarily diverse range of landscapes
including empty East End streets, forests, North Sea oil fields, post-
war tower blocks and Cold War military facilities Richardson’s films
offer a dazzling deconstruction of place and time. They focus the
mind and eye to detail, finding transcendence and emotion in the
everyday.
