Event overview
Second Visual Cultures public forum. Speakers: Phillip Warnell (Kingston), Maria Walsh (Chelsea) and Lynn Turner (Goldsmiths)
PHILLIP WARNELL is an artist and filmmaker based in London and Brussels. His work encompasses a significant range of projects: short film, video art, performance event, photographic work and text/publication. These projects have been exhibited, screened and performed worldwide and in a range of contexts.
The work traverses the boundaries and limits of bodies, positioning them both as anatomical, physiological objects of research, considering them as transitional and inter-subjective forms. Whilst particularly known for his work around notions of bodily transparency, embracing the innovative use of (historical) artifacts, photographic and moving image, working with ideas on avisuality (things with no explicit materiality, seen instead through effects), his most recent output has been primarily cinematic, short films staged around various collaborations, encounters, collections and processes of thought.
Selected publications: The Girl with X-ray Eyes, 2008 and Outlandish (with Jean-Luc Nancy), 2010; Art & Science Now (Thames & Hudson, 2010); Leonardo (MIT Press, 2009
His current work in development, Ming of Harlem, is being co-produced by Michigan Films, based in Brussels.
