A New Season of Artists' Film & Video

S1 Artspace is pleased to announce the sixth S1 SALON: a new season of artists' film and video screenings, selected from an international open call by a guest panel.

This spring S1 Artspace presents S1 SALON 2012, three new screenings of work by national and international artists selected by LINDER STERLING [artist]; LISA LE FEUVRE [Head of Sculpture Studies at The Henry Moore Institute, Leeds]; and BEN RIVERS [artist].

The S1 SALON 2012 received submissions from across the world. The selected work includes film and video from 14 artists hailing from Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ireland, The Netherlands, Korea, Hawaii, Peru, USA and the UK. Many of the selected works will be screened for the first time in the UK.

The screenings are divided into two parts; part one presents work selected from the open call and part two, an additional selection of works from each of this year's guest selectors. Each of the selectors will introduce their personal programmes at the following screenings; LINDER STERLING: 29th March, LISA LE FEUVRE: 5th April and BEN RIVERS: 12th April. All screenings will commence at 6.30pm and conclude at approx. 8.30pm.

A smaller selection of works from the three programmes will then tour to venues in the UK and internationally.

S1 SALON was established in 2003 to further S1 Artspace's commitment to new artists and contemporary film and video. As well as providing a platform for artists to present and showcase their work alongside their peers, S1 SALON seeks to establish an international dialogue between artists at all levels. Screening new work alongside archive film, S1 SALON integrates new artists work within the broader history of film and video.

Previous salons have presented work by artists including Beatice Gibson & Alex Waterman, Ming Wong, Neil Beloufa, Duncan Marquiss, James Richards, Klara Liden and Stephen Sutcliffe. The S1 SALON programme has toured venues within the UK and internationally including ICA London, FACT Liverpool, CCA Glasgow, SPIKE ISLAND Bristol, VIVID Birmingham and SMART PROJECT SPACE Amsterdam.
