Ends and Odds

The first of this year's seminars is on this afternoon, and our guest speaker is Andrew Kötting. Andrew is a film and video maker, an artist and works at the University for the Creative Arts, where his profile details,

"His twenty year oeuvre to date has moved from early live-art inflected, often absurdist pieces, ripe with their own internal logics and skewed mythologies, through darkly comic shorts teasing out the melancholy surrealism at the heart of contemporary Englishness to two resolutely independent features that take landscape (rare among contemporary artists, he is most engaged beyond the urban) and journeys as the springboards for visually striking and structurally inventive enquiries into identity, belonging, history and notions of community."
This website features clips, stills and text about his work.

The seminar begins at 5pm in the New Seminar Room, St John's College, Oxford, and all are welcome.
