Dr Sarah Chapman, Director of Peninsula Arts, Plymouth University
Malcolm Le Grice moved from painting into film and installation as a way of extending the experience and two dimensionality of the canvas. Join Dr Sarah Chapman, Director of Peninsula Arts, for an introduction into what is known as the expanded field of painting, alongside a look at the interplay between Le Grice’s ‘graphic works’ and moving image installations.
Dr Kayla Parker, Lecturer in Media Arts, Plymouth University
As an artist film-maker, Le Grice places the central focus on the material properties and effects of technologies themselves, placing the role of the audience to the foreground. Dr Kayla Parker, Lecturer in Media Arts and convener of the Moving Image Arts (MIA) research group at Plymouth University, explores the legacy of Le Grice’s dynamic practice, which continually transforms itself as he reworks the past to reimagine possible futures.
