Man With Mirror, Guy Sherwin
Leeds City Art Gallery (The Silver Gallery) | 7.30 - 9.30pm (with break)
Since the early 70s, UK artist Guy Sherwin has used film and projection to explore and experiment with light and time. Through a series of re-enactments and re-workings, Sherwin will present an evening of expanded cinema works, from profoundly simple performances such as Man With Mirror in which the filmmaker interacts with his former self, to live multi layered projection works like Vowels and Consonants (made and performed with Lynn Loo). Improv saxophonist Alan Wilkinson will provide live soundtracks to some of the pieces. Sponsored by The Wire magazine: www.thewire.co.uk
