Dialogue: Elizabeth Price

As part of a week of collaborative screenings and events with Pavilion and Elizabeth Price, Price will discuss some of the ideas that have informed The New Ruined Institute and her current work in progress, West Hinder. Sited at the bottom of the sea West Hinder is a supernatural narrative based on a cargo ship containing 2862 luxury cars that sank in an unlegislated area of the Channel in 2002. The video imagines the sunken vehicles as they speculate on what they are. As part of the event Price will read excerpts from the script of West Hinder, itself a collage of text lifted directly from the press releases used to sell the luxury cars.

Working primarily with digital video and reprographic media, Elizabeth Price reformulates and re-inscribes collections and archives using artefacts drawn from the debris of modernism, popular culture, consumerism and science-fiction. During 2010/11 she will be exhibiting in the British Art Show and developing a major new work with Film London.

The event will take place at 42 New Briggate, Leeds on 15th June 2010. Admission is free but booking essential. To book contact gill@pavilion.org.uk or 0113 242 5100
