Work by film lecturer on show at New York's Museum of Modern Art
Clio Barnard, artist and lecturer in Film Studies at the University of Kent, is the only UK artist to have work included in a collection being screened later this month at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
Dark Glass, which visually recreates a spoken description of family photographs recalled under hypnosis, will be shown as part of CELLuloid: Cell Phone-Made Documentaries, an event exploring the boundaries of personal, political, and documentary art with work produced on mobile phones.
Clio Barnard's work deals with the relationship between documentary and fiction, in particular the subjectivity of recollection. She often constructs fictional images around verbatim audio, and vice versa. Last year, she was one of only two artists to receive funding from the Jerwood/Artangel Open, the new £1m commissioning arts fund. The award came only a year after she was awarded the similarly prestigious Hamlyn prize.
Gallery installation works include: Road Race (2004) and Hard Cut (1999). Single-screen shorts include: Flood (2002), Lambeth Marsh (2000), and Random Acts of Intimacy (1998). In 2005, she was one of the winners of the 2005 Paul Hamlyn Award for Artists.
