OUTPOST event is proud to host a screening of Auto Italia LIVE: Double Dip Concession, the latest iteration of the London-based gallery’s ongoing Live TV project, produced in association with the ICA, London and broadcast live over the Internet.
Auto Italia LIVE: Double Dip Concession will take the audience through several scenes considering what the phrase ‘unwatchable TV’ might mean today, how objects and movements take on a new dimension in the televisual space and how magic and trickery can be exploited through framing and live editing. The title of this episode reflects the concerns for compromise and cooperation in the production of new collaborative work. However, throughout the episode this idea will be devel- oped and culminate in a realisation expressed by the admission that “I’m sharper, more in focus”.
This project engages directly with contemporary broadcast culture as a space for new work and considers/challenges how physical communities use the Internet to distribute ideas. Reflecting on the opportunities this creates for artists, the episode will use the formal techniques of Live TV – its camera moves, soundtrack, catch phrases and live-editing – in order to create a new space and to raise questions as to what it means to be making Live TV now. It aims to be a proposal for how artists can produce live broadcast work in collaboration and act as a unique place for artists to create their collective context and distribute their work.
Auto Italia South East is an artist-run organisation that commissions and produces new work, co-run by Kate Cooper, Amanda Dennis and Richard John Jones.
