Two gay girls with too many issues, DVDs and shared interests trying to out-smart/out-do/out-butch each other... constructively

[K]  If you’re in/near London, you should definitely take some time to attend. The retrospective of one of the most prolific experimental lesbian filmmakers at Tate Modern (Friday 3 February – Sunday 26 February 2012)  will - added bonus - be curated by Barbara Hammer herself.

     

This major survey of Hammer’s work will be launched with the premiere of her new short film, Maya Deren’s Sink 2011, a tribute to Deren’s longstanding influence on the artist. The month-long series also includes screenings of early, rarely seen Super-8 films, an evening of expanded cinema performances in the Turbine Hall, an event in response to Hammer’s work by artist Emily Roysdon, and several events featuring artists and speakers drawn from across Europe and North America, who testify to the powerful creative community Hammer has inspired.
