The Agency is presenting Seeing and Telling in Gallery 2. The space will be dedicated to the informal presentation of works using film or video within the context of a forum for debate. Artist and curators present their own work or that of their peers in discussion with either the audience or an invited speaker. Seeing and Telling is about breaking the rigidity of the exhibition code as a space of silence and largely passive consumption and attempts to hand back some of the power to the audience. Seeing and Telling refers as much to the artist's role as a catalyst for experiences which are narrated through their artistic language to the audience as it is about the audience experiencing the work and providing feedback. The experimental format of the show reminds of the reciprocity of cultural creation. Each Saturday during the show one artist, curating team or single film piece will be presented and given over for discussion by an open audience and some invited speakers. The screenings are free and some refreshments will be offered.
