Dissent Interventions: Artists' Films & Videos commissioned by Channel 4, 1982 - 1992

CDA的目的是研究一部新的电视史，并将策展实践写入电视史学，与LUX由第四频道委托制作的350多部艺术家电影和视频(1982-1992)合作。该合作博士奖提供了一个对这一未被调查的艺术家作品进行创新研究的无与伦比的机会，这些作品是在20世纪80年代新的公共服务广播公司委托激进媒体制作的背景下产生的。LUX的前身组织，伦敦电影制作人合作社和伦敦视频艺术，都得到了独立的研讨会的支持，向第四频道提供作品，LUX拥有这一时期制作的几乎所有关键标题。然而，这些材料还没有得到适当的编目和绘图，因此它的重要性被相当程度地忽视了，特别是在电视史和历史学中。首先，获奖者将观看并编目电影和视频作品。同时，学生将研究第四频道的早期历史，以赞助独立制作，了解这些作品委托制作的原始背景，以及实验性电视节目的历史和理论。CDA的目的是(1)确定进入第4频道早期历史及其委托政策的新路线，以支持和多样化20世纪80年代的独立实践，为当今许多最重要的英国艺术家提供使用运动图像的背景和试验场；(2)重振关于公共服务媒体作为民主平台的辩论，将公共服务媒体作为代表英国社会和文化公共生活中未被充分代表的声音的民主平台；(3)通过策展实践，为档案材料制作动画，撰写新的电视史学；以及(4)进行策展干预，(在智力上、空间上)为当代公众重新定位和重新呈现这些作品。认真研究这些收藏，将其作为撰写新的电视史学作为策展实践的一部分，该项目提供了知识交流和公众参与的机会。获奖者将被期望在研究论坛上展示他们的作品，但也组织展览和放映计划，讨论活动与放映(第一年)，工作坊与放映(第二年)和更多面向公众的巡回活动作为最终策划要素。完成的项目将有助于与LUX正在进行的关于向公众展示其收藏品的想法。这将为学生提供增加知识和更新对LUX自身收藏的理解的机会。项目的主要成果是完成书面论文(60-80K字)和策划的活动(巡回展览和放映)，这将增强对划定语料库(350+标题)的知识。

The purpose of the CDA is to research a new television history and write curatorial practice into TV historiography, working with LUX's collection of 350+ artists' films & videos commissioned by Channel 4 (1982-1992). This Collaborative Doctoral Award offers a matchless opportunity for innovative research into this under-investigated body of artists' work produced in the context of the new public service broadcaster commissioning radical media in the 1980s.LUX's predecessor organisations, the London Film-Makers' Co-operative and London Video Arts, were both supported as independent workshops to supply work to Channel 4, and LUX holds almost all of the key titles produced during this period. However, this material has yet to be properly catalogued and mapped, and thus its significance has been rather overlooked, particularly in television histories and historiographies. In the first instance the award holder will view and catalogue the film and video work. In parallel, the student will research the early history of Channel 4 to sponsor independent productions, to understand the original context in which these works were commissioned, as well as histories and theories of experimental TV programming. Cataloguing and thinking conceptually and critically about the collection, the aim of the CDA is (1) to identify new routes into the early history of Channel 4 and its commissioning policy to support and diversify independent practices in the 1980s, providing a context and testing ground for many of the most significant UK artists working with the moving image today; (2) to reinvigorate debates about public service media as a democratic platform for giving representation to under-represented voices in British society and cultural public life; (3) in animating the archival material, to write a new television historiography through curatorial practice; and (4) to produce a curatorial intervention to reposition (intellectually, spatially) and re-present these works for contemporary publics.Rigorously researching the collection as part of writing a new TV historiography as curatorial practice, the project offers the opportunity for knowledge exchange and public engagement. The successful award holder will be expected to present their work in research forums, but also organise exhibitions and screening programmes, with a discussion event with screenings (year 1), workshop with screenings (year 2) and more public-facing touring event as the final curated element. The completed project will contribute to ongoing thinking with LUX concerning the exhibition of its collection to the public. This will offer the student the opportunity to add knowledge and renew understanding of LUX's own collection.The key outcome of the project is the completion of the written thesis (60-80k words) and curated event (touring exhibition and screenings), which will enhance knowledge of a delimited corpus (350+ titles).
