Kerry Tribe: Critical Mass screening and in-conversation with Tony Cokes
Kerry Tribe’s video work Critical Mass (2013, 25 minutes) will be available to view from 18:00 on Tuesday 1st December until 18:00 Wednesday 2nd December on the Channel section of the CCA website.
On Wednesday 2nd December at 19:00, Kerry Tribe will be in conversation with Tony Cokes.
Hollis Frampton’s experimental film Critical Mass (1971) presents an argument between a couple and uses various editing techniques, including fragmentation and repetition, to create a stuttering soundtrack. Here, as Annette Michelson once argued, the pattern of gesture and sound reinforces ‘the hopelessly circular pattern of this transaction.’ In Kerry Tribe’s work of the same name, Frampton’s film is staged as a performance in which actors Nick Huff and Emilie O’Hara perform its dialogue – with all its silences, overlaps and interruptions – precisely.
