Masterclass: Larry Gottheim

Larry Gottheim is a New York based artist and filmmaker whose work is concerned with the theme of nature in art, and whose practice explores the functions of racial, cultural and personal identity. Over a career that spans half a century, Gottheim’s practice began by examining the paradoxical relation between stasis and momentum in nature before moving into explorations of complex the relationship of images to sound, time, movement and becoming. Gottheim’s recent feature, produced across twenty-five years, extends this exploration to a zenith of refinition. In this public lecture, Gottheim will present some of his earlier works in the LUX collection and discuss his artistic practice.
This screening is part of a touring programme of Larry Gottheim’s work across Britain from the 19th May to the 27th June 2017.  With thanks to Chris Dymond.
