Sound and Vision brings together four autonomous presentations
by artists from different generations that explore - through film,
sound, text and image - aspects of what might be termed the 'theatrical
documentary', as mediated through our experiences of cinema, theatre
(performance), television and contemporary music.
What connects the works is their hybridity, the apparent ease with
which each work resists the process of categorisation. They exist
at the point where a more typically mainstream form collides with
and is co-opted by more avant-garde forms. The title is taken from
the David Bowie song, articulates perfectly this 'cross-over'.

Andy Warhol Screen Tests: Outer and Inner Space
In the early 1960s, Andy Warhol temporarily abandoned painting in
favour of film-making. In addition to such influential and widely
known films as Sleep and Chelsea Girls, Warhol produced
an extraordinary range of film work, although much of it has rarely
been screened. It transformed both the grammar of art films and
more generally the possibilities of cinema. The ICA, in collaboration
with the Andy Warhol Museum, is showing for the first time in the
UK, the recently restored double screen film projection, Outer
and Inner Space featuring the Warhol superstar and muse Edie
Sedgwick, and a selection from the Screen Tests, short, intimate,
silent 16mm portraits of the visitors - artists, poets, models,
socialites, actors, musicians and hustlers - to his 47th Street
Studio The Factory. Some of the Screen Tests have never been
previously publicly screened.
Concourse and Upper Galleries
Goldstein, Lecky, Payne and Relph
Better known as a painter and film-maker, the influential American
artist Jack Goldstein also worked extensively as a performance artist.
Goldstein's Portfolio of Performances (1976-1985/2001) document,
in text and images, nine of his seminal early actions. The British
artist Mark Lecky presents Dub Plate (2001), a sound work
that charts a journey on foot through London's Soho. Assembled from
street recordings and presented as an acetate record, Dub Plate
exists as the soundtrack for a never-to-be-realised movie. Oliver
Payne and Nick Relph will screen their acclaimed trilogy of films;
Driftwood, House & Garage and Jungle (1999-2001).
Highly idiosyncratic, Payne and Relph's films approximate the language
of the documentary film-maker to create compelling, often sardonic
accounts of the malaise that is life in Britain today.
