The Monday Lecture series has been running since 1997 as a series of presentations by contemporary artists and cultural practitioners who work across disciplines. This is an opportunity to hear artists, writers, cultural activists talk about the history of their practice and show examples of their work. The lecture series is coordinated for The School of Arts and Media and as part of the Sallis Benney public lecture programme.
OCT 4th Graeme Miller (UK)
Graeme Miller is an artist, composer and theatre-maker. He co-founded the influential Impact Theatre Co-operative and went on to make his own stage works that include A Girl Skipping (1990). Over the last twenty years his work spread towards contemporary art practice including a series of self-commissioned “civic” works that include LINKED – a semi permanent radio installation in East London, the touring work, ‘Beheld’ – a work that documents and reanimates sites where stowaways have fallen to earth from planes, and Bassline London at the Barbican. Without being based in any defining medium or any chosen theme his work returns repeatedly to deal with questions of place and time – of inner landscapes functioning in real places and internal clocks working against time’s arrow. His works often set chaotic or serendipitous material in formal spaces or within certain rules of process. He also continues to compose music and design sound for film theatre TV and radio. Graeme Miller is a tutor in performance at Goldmiths and a research associate at RESCEN, Middlesex.
“Graeme continues to make works where the citizen and often, though not exclusively, the pedestrian act as the sensitive emulsion for looking at the process of making and remaking shared space. Bassline (Vienna, 2004) charted a single 50 minute journey made by 11 citizens and a double-bass player through the city.” RESCEN
“He continues to compose and design sound for dance, film, TV and radio with a series of credits for dance and animation films with choreographers and film makers ..” RESCEN
