Straight to Camera is a changing programme of artists’ films examining the practice of making performance for the camera and the inter relation between performer, audience and camera. From private performances in New York’s loft studios in the 1960’s to contemporary artist’s aiming to exploit digital and ‘reality’ formats today, this programme seeks to map the boundaries between film, theatre and the nature of live performance.
Artists featured include Fikret Atay, Erica Beckmann, Geta Bratescu, Mel Brimfield, Marcus Coates, Roman Stetina, Ryan Trecartin and Andy Warhol.
