TURNER CONTEMPORARY ANNOUNCES NEW JOHN SMITH COMMISSION
From 1-17June 2012, Tuner
Contemporary will be showing a newly commissioned video by
internationally renowned artist John Smith. Since 1972 John Smith has
made over 40 film, video and installation works that have been shown in
cinemas, art galleries and on television around the world and been
awarded major prizes at a number of international film festivals.
Horizon is a study of the sea
filmed over several months from the windows of Turner Contemporary and
locations around Margate. Smith captures the seascape across seasons and
in dramatically different weather conditions, using a variety of
techniques to stress and contrast the abstract qualities of light,
colour and movement. Through this process he creates a view of the sea
that draws attention to the spectacular improbability of the natural
world.
Victoria Pomery, Director of Turner
Contemporary said, “This commission has given us a fantastic opportunity
to work with John, an artist I have long admired. The film he has
created for us is very particular to Margate. It makes us consider the
incredible seascape that drew JMW Turner to the town and continues to be
a powerful inspiration for artists today.”
Horizon was commissioned by
Turner Contemporary in partnership with Stour Valley Arts and South East
Dance as part of Turning Point South East – RELAY. Entry to the
gallery and the commission is free.
John Smith will be in conversation
with Stuart Comer Curator of film at Tate Modern on Thursday 14 June at
Turner Contemporary. For more information please visit
