Contact: Dwelling
Frieze, No. 9 Cork Street, 4:00, Saturday 1st July. Tickets Here.
A ‘dwelling’ can define a place, possibly a home, that is marked by and marks its inhabitants. An individual or group can take dwelling, seek out lodgings, in a particular place for a time. The characteristics of a dwelling are also defined by the relationships it fosters. These notions are explored by four artist-filmmakers - Vicky Smith, Guy Sherwin, Amy Dickson and Maria Anastassiou – through new and rarely seen work, which will be presented in a unique configuration. A Q&A will follow the programme.

Zara Joan Miller is a British/Iranian artist and author of poetry collection Blue Monday (JOAN Publishing, 2022). She works across moving image, performance and print – often playing with movement and sound as a way of reimagining a body’s rhythm. https://zarajoanmiller.com

Guy Sherwin studied painting at Chelsea School of Art in the late 1960s before becoming involved with the radical film practice of the London Film-Makers' Co-operative where he learnt, and then taught, the darkroom arts of printing and processing. His films explore fundamental material properties of film along with its unique capacity for recording elusive moments. His films have been widely exhibited internationally.

Jenny Baines’ practice finds its form though the relationship between her body and the mechanisms of film. She performs actions for a wind-up 16mm Bolex camera exploring the parameters of the apparatus and her own physical endurance. http://jennybaines.co.uk/
Louisa Fairclough’s work takes the form of film loops, performances, field recordings and drawings.

Laura Hindmarsh’s practice is loosely focused on the moving image but using interdisciplinary approaches from analogue film to performance, drawing and writing, with a specific interest in storytelling.

Blanca Regina is an interdisciplinary artist, tutor, and independent curator who works with spontaneous composition systems creating multimedia landscapes using voice, objects, electronics, and visuals.
