Films / Spectacle: A Portrait of Stuart Sherman
UK Premiere & short film
Saturday 12. April | 14:45 / GFT
Described by one critic as 'the Buster Keaton of linguistics', Stuart Sherman remains an influential figure in the history of experimental film and performance.
The Buster Keaton of linguistics
Sherman鈥檚 art defied category and expectations. He was a notoriously private individual, despite his familiar presence in the New York art scene.
After his death in 2001, his work was in danger of being lost forever. Combining interviews with friends and colleagues, extraordinary archive footage and re-enactments of his performances, Spectacle: A Portrait of Stuart Sherman reveals this utterly unique artist and his legacy.
Preceded by the short film Notes on Blindness directed by Peter Middleton and James Spinney, who will introduce their film. (13min)
Director: Robin Deacon
UK PREMIERE | UK / USA 2013, 1h28m, N/C 15+
