Late-Night Conversations: Stuart Marshall & Tamara Krikorian

An exhibition bringing together works by the pioneering video artists Stuart Marshall (1949–1993) and Tamara Krikorian (1944–2009), co-curated by Conal McStravick and Holly Argent and presented by LUX as part of LVA50, a year-long programme marking fifty years since the formation of London Video Arts. It looks back to the 1976 exhibition and conference 'Video: Towards Defining an Aesthetic' at Third Eye Centre, Glasgow, organised by Krikorian, which led to the founding of London Video Arts and included Marshall's 'Privileged View'. The exhibition re-stages Marshall's 'Privileged View' (1976) and Krikorian's 'Breeze' (1975), presenting them for the first time in fifty years and together for the first time, alongside historic works, recent archival recoveries, photo and video documentation, recorded oral histories, an archive display and a programme of short videos by both artists. Drawing on the artists' own archives, it takes a queer feminist approach to re-imagining their work and treats the archive as open rather than fixed, framed by its curators as an audio-visual fanzine created in a spirit of collectivity.
