Product Overview
UK art expert Tim Marlow introduces us to new and exciting artists and venues in the modern art world.
Gilbert & George
In this fresh and revealing film, the self-proclaimed living sculptures, Gilbert and George, join Tim Marlow in a walk around their ‘Major Exhibition’ at the Tate Modern and talk frankly about art and life. Since meeting in 1967, Gilbert & George have pushed at the boundaries of art and society. Their pictures are provocative, humane, disturbing and profoundly moving in equal measure. This film is a fascinating insight into their world and is an important document of their life and work.
Carsten Höller
This engaging documentary takes an exclusive look at Carsten Höller’s Test Site installation in Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall. The Test Site is a set of five stainless slides intended for visitors to slide from the highest floors of the Tate Modern to the very bottom, allowing them to become part of the art, move out of their comfort zone and free their senses. Featuring a rare interview with Höller and with unique access from the early stages through to the opening day, this film charts the progress of a fascinating art project.
Modern Art Oxford
This film is an accessible look into an institution that finds itself negotiating between the demands of artists and the expectations of a potentially sceptical public. Tim Marlow meets two artists exhibiting at the gallery – Kerry James Marshall, whose work deals with the African-American experience, and Daniel Buren, one of France’s most respected contemporary artists.
