Thursday 1 December, 2011 - 9pm

The launch of LUX's annual touring programme of recent British video, this year curated by Steven Cairns. The programme includes work by Steven Claydon, Torsten Lauschmann, Clunie Reid, Rachel Reupke, Hannah Sawtell and Stephen Sutcliffe.

Alma Mater features work by six UK-based artists, dealing in representational methods of experience and social interaction. Alma Mater takes cultural identity as its starting point, to encompass the influence of visual culture on everyday experience; questioning ideas of Britishness and conceptions of national identity. Working with digital media, each artist invests a degree of experimentation and innovation in their approach to moving image that embeds the process within the work - the media itself becoming a near-character in the linear, and non-linear narratives. The screening includes a range of works made between 2000 and the present, and charts a significant period of change in our relationship with visual culture, and the society that shapes it.
