Reactor will screen a video from The Geodecity Project, at this Nottingham Contemporary offsite event at St. Christopher's Hall. Local artists’ moving image collective Annexinema present an evening of short films responding to themes raised in the Francis Upritchard exhibition. Drawing on Upritchard’s sculptural depictions of countercultural figures, the programme will take a critical look at late-1960s culture, psychedelia, found footage, re-contextualised objects, and the familiar made strange.

Including work by Peter Whitehead, Hem (Geiom), MACE, Alex Pearl, Lindsay Foster, Shezad Dawood, Reactor and Luke Fowler.

Deathtrap: TV Killing Video and More

Feb 22, 2012

As part of Deathtrap, the final event at Reactor Towers before is was demolished, Reactor collaborated with Mark Gubb on throwing a TV ‘out the window’. After having sat in Reactor Towers for the past 8 or 9 years, its final day came playing a VHS tape of various rock music videos and interviews supplied by Mark for about 8 or 9 hours. Then it was carried out on to the balcony and thrown off whilst still switched on and playing with volume turned right up. Song at time of death is ‘Inner Self’ by Sepultura from their ‘Beneath the Remains’ album, so Mark reliably tells me. RIP TV.

‘The attributes of liminality or of liminal personae (“Threshold People”) are necessarily ambiguous, since this condition and these persons elude or slip through the network of classifications that normally locate states and positions in cultural space. Liminal entities are neither here or there; they are betwixt and between the position as assigned and arrayed by the law, custom, convention, and ceremonial. As such, their ambiguous and indeterminate attributes are expressed by a rich variety of symbols in the many societies that ritualize social and cultural transitions. Thus, liminality is frequently likened to death, to being in the womb, to invisibility, to darkness, to bisexuality, to the wilderness, and to an eclipse of the sun or moon.’
