TAKE: 001

TAKE: 001 came about from the desire of curator Louise Tulett to run a video programme that considered moving image as a medium well suited to capturing experiences in relation to their length. Essentially, as quoted from the submission call: "I want to make a show of screenings about the decision to press record and the decision to stop". The videos on show are a varied and intriguing response to this initially open-ended parameter.
