Anja Kirschner & David Panos. The Last Days of Jack Sheppard

By mixing straightforward modes of storytelling with a dizzying range of theatrical and documentary devices, Kirschner and Panos make clear tat narrative is a construct that persists equally in documentary and fiction films.

Lee Lozano

Lozano's paintings and drawings from the early sixties were full of suggestive imagery: tools, electrical equipment and other objects, and more abstract organic forms, standing in for male and female genitalia. Later her paintings and drawings became more formal and abstract, and her palette more sober. Towards the end of the sixties, as Lozano felt increasingly alienated from systems that governed the (New York) art world, she intensified her attempt, which was always a part of her work, to collapse art into life.

For further information, see the hand-out.

Barbara Visser

Since the early 1990s Barbara Visser has used photography to investigate myth making and authenticity. Her pictures often don’t come with dimensions, and the question of finished work is always a mute point. Visser is interested in doubling, reproduction and the role of the artist in the production and destruction of their own myth.

For further information, see the hand-out.
