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

CDA的目的是研究一个新的电视历史，并将策展实践写入电视史学，与LUX的350多个艺术家的电影和视频收藏合作，这些电影和视频由第四频道（1982-1992）委托。这个合作博士奖提供了一个无与伦比的机会，创新研究这个未被调查的艺术家的工作机构在新的公共服务广播公司委托激进的媒体在20世纪80年代的背景下产生的。LUX的前身组织，伦敦电影制片人的合作和伦敦视频艺术，都支持作为独立的研讨会，以提供工作的4频道，LUX几乎拥有这一时期所有的主要作品。然而，这些材料还没有被适当地编目和映射，因此它的重要性被忽视了，特别是在电视历史和历史编纂中。首先，奖项保持器将查看和分类的电影和视频工作。同时，学生将研究第4频道的早期历史，以赞助独立制作，了解这些作品委托的原始背景，以及实验电视节目的历史和理论。CDA的目的是（1）确定进入第四频道早期历史的新路线，以及其在20世纪80年代支持和多样化独立实践的委托政策，为当今许多最重要的英国艺术家提供背景和试验场。（2）重振关于公共服务媒体的辩论，将其作为一个民主平台，让英国社会和文化公共生活中代表性不足的声音得到代表;（3）在激活档案材料的过程中，通过策展实践撰写新的电视史学;以及（4）产生策展干预，重新定位（智力上的，空间上的）并向当代公众再现这些作品。作为策展实践中撰写新电视史学的一部分，该项目严格研究该系列作品，为知识交流和公众参与提供了机会。成功获奖的保持器将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），研讨会与放映（第二年）和更多面向公众的巡回活动作为最终策划的元素。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思考。该项目的主要成果是完成书面论文（60- 80 k字）和策划活动（巡回展览和放映），这将增强对限定语料库（350多个标题）的了解。

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).
