Time is speeding up (2016, 11MB, 1:00 min) This is a beautiful piece, a distillation down to a minute of a three month installation by Ruth Catlow, artist and co-director of the marvellous Furtherfield. She explains its premise and construction better than I can, so I’ll hand over to her: This networked video performance and […]

running to catch a train (2016, 429MB, 9:07 min) I’m gently waking DVblog up to post this extraordinary piece of work from Paula Musgrove, with videography from Yasmin Cox (both year two Art & Design students at WSD where – transparency! – I currently teach.) The performance took place at the private view of the […]

In Whatever Time (2010, 290MB, 15 min.) “…Occupying a space somewhere between storytelling and spectacle, TV shows and advertisements, the video and sculpture installations of such invented personas as Cherry Bomb Fluffy White and Charley OnOff address the fragmented representations of politics and gender, autobiography and history in contemporary society. Embracing the roles of director, […]

Last Wine (2013, 96MB, 2:50 min) Anyone who has followed DVblog for any time at all will know how much we admire & value the work of Alan Sondheim. He commands a huge range of technique and tone in both his writing and moving image work. At one point of his compass there is the […]

E.mor (1999, 13MB, 2 min.) Petit d’Homme (2001, 13MB, 2 min.) Reynald Drouhin: E.Mor – Improvisation dans le noir // Improvisation in the dark Musique/Music: Meredith Monk, ‘Engine Steps’ Petit d’Homme – Etude du comportement humain en milieu naturel, avec Lloÿs Drouhin // A study in human beahaviour in a natural setting, with Lloÿs Drouhin

The Kosher Butcher (2010, 84MB, 8:56 min.) “.. Israeli provocateur Lior Shvil presented “The Kosher Butcher,” a darkly humorous commentary on Mideast politics in which he portrays a meatpacking Sweeney Todd.”

Job’s Comforters (2013, 3MB, 7:00 min) Those who associate Edward Picot solely with his marvellous Dr Hairy series, wickedly funny and pointed satire in the kind of lo-fi/hand made tradition that comes down from Postgate and Firmin might be quite taken aback by this. You have to watch the whole thing. Until shortly before the […]

Fist (2013, 5MB, 48 secs) Kerry Baldry is an enormously generous spirit – her curatorial efforts around the various One Minutes compilations have given a good many moving image artists reason to be grateful. She is also herself a maker of fine work with an intensity both of focus and of feeling. In this piece […]

Belgrades (2013, 133MB, 4:04 min) Neat music video – for a D J Investor track – from Martin Rychicki a.k.a GAC, originally from Poland and now Paris resident. The bendy Sax is particularly fetching. Assured & engaging movie making.

Rough Cut (2007, 54MB, 4 min.) Born in 1971 in Tel Aviv, Lior Shvil currently lives in New York and recently attended Columbia University’s School of the Arts MFA program. Shvil works primarily in video, installation and sculpture. His works are multi-layered, both poetic and critical; they tap into collective memory (cultural, mythical, historical), and […]
