Join us for an evening screening of selected film and video works by 19 leading artists from gallery’s roster, in celebration of the exhibition ‘Figure + Ground’ at Hauser & Wirth London.

The exhibition brings together a variety of artists whose films and videos can be interpreted as exploring the dynamic between figure and ground in diverse ways. The selection of works also spotlights the development of moving image from the late 1960s to today. From film to the advent of analogue (single channel) video technologies during the early 1970s onwards, and later digital video, this technological expansion engendered a new genre of artistic production.

The artists featured are Sonia Boyce with Ain Bailey, Mark Bradford, Geta Brătescu, Martin Creed, Jeffrey Gibson, David Hammons, Camille Henrot, Rashid Johnson, William Kentridge, Glenn Ligon, Paul McCarthy, Pipilotti Rist, Mika Rottenberg, Anri Sala, Cindy Sherman, Roman Signer, Gary Simmons, Lorna Simpson and David Zink-Yi.

Taking place after-hours in the North Gallery, this event will screen program two. Complimentary drinks will be served upon arrival, with seats being allocated on a first come, first serve basis.

This is a free event, but we ask that you register in advance so we can understand visitor numbers.
