MIRROR
'one of the most hauntingly beautiful films... ever seen' dvd times 'a
reflection of Tarkovsky's haunted soul' Filmref.com A central work in
director Andrei Tarkovsky's oeuvre, both figuratively and literally, the
autobiographical Mirror is a first-person journey back to a childhood
revisited by Aleksei, a middle-aged Moscow intellectual. Sick and bedridden,
it's through the eyes of his boyhood self (Ignat Daniltsev) that Aleksei
can see his life most clearly; his memories of his mother provide a counterpoint
to his present relationship with his estranged wife Natalya, while in
the figure of the always-absent father he recognises his situation with
his own son. Tarkovsky uses his father Arsenii's poetry to invoke the
past, bringing it to life in a series of virtuosic shots and sequences.
Best experienced on the big-screen.
Dir Andrei Tarkovsky, Russia, 1975, 108 mins, subs

EDWARD SAID: THE LAST INTERVIEW
Less than a year before his death in September, the writer, critic and
political activist Edward Said recorded an extraordinary interview. Internationally
acclaimed for his books on literature (Beginnings, The World The Text,
and The Critic), politics (The Question of Palestine, Covering Islam)
and the intersection of politics and culture (Orientalism, Culture and
Imperialism) Said was also the most prominent spokesman for the Palestinian
cause outside the Middle East as well as an accomplished musician. Diagnosed
with incurable leukaemia in 1991, towards the end of his life Said simply
stopped giving interviews. But in November 2002 he made a final exception,
and over the course of three days spoke with unparalleled intimacy about
his illness, his work, his own life and education, and his enduring preoccupations.

DERRIDA
'Blissful ... a pleasure to watch' New York Times 'Inspirational and unexpectedly
moving' Film Comment 'A potent and profound investigation' Rolling Stone
This award-winning film is an intimate portrait of the brilliant, controversial
philosopher and intellectual icon Jacques Derrida, whose theory of 'deconstruction'
has deeply influenced the studies of literature, philosophy, ethics, architecture
and law, indelibly marking the intellectual landscape of the 20th and
21st centuries. Combining rare private footage of Derrida with his reflections
on deconstruction, violence, love and death, the film investigates the
concept of biography and explores the relationship between the public
and the private. With a mesmerising score by Ryuichi Sakamoto. Dir Kirby
Dick/Amy Ziering Kofman, US 2002, 85 mins

@ THE ICA
Act II: 30 July - 5 Sept, 2004
Galleries: 12-7.30pm
ARTISTS' FAVOURITES: AN EXHIBITION IN TWO ACTS
'A hugely entertaining show' Daily Telegraph
'A rewarding glimpse into the minds of well-known artists' Time Out For
Artists' Favourites over forty of the foremost internationally active
artists have been invited to select one of their favourite works of art
made between 1947, the year the ICA was established, and the present day.
Presented in two parts Artists' Favourites hands over the reins to the
artists, asking which artworks they consider important and influential,
which have affected their own practice, and which pieces they would like
to see displayed. The exhibition emerges out of artists' active confrontation
with art's history, setting up a multifarious frame of reference between
past and present. In order to open up a discussion on the matter of how
we - artists, curators, specialised critics and the general public - judge
art and which criteria we use to do so. Each artist has been asked to
elaborate on the reasons for their choice in form of a written statement.
These statements are presented alongside the artworks and form another
level of the exhibition that uncovers the web of relationships, references
and affinities between the selecting artists and their selections. With
a different set of artists making selections, Act II of Artists' Favourites
represents an equally diverse and surprising range of art works as in
Act I. This time around the exhibition includes works such as Blown Away
Under Certain Circumstances (1986) by Lawrence Weiner, selected by Liam
Gillick; Piero Manzoni's Fiato d'Artista (Artist's Breath) (1960), selected
by Cornelia Parker; Gary Hill's video installation Wall Piece, (2000),
selected by Eija-Liisa Ahtila; Vesuvius (1985) by Andy Warhol, selected
by Martin Creed and Untitled (corner construction) (1970/2004), by Fred
Sandback, selected by Olafur Eliasson. Also featured are works by the
following artists: Carl Andre, Lygia Clark, Peter Fischli & David
Weiss, Jeff Koons, Manfred Pernice, Charles Ray, Edward Ruscha, Kurt Schwitters,
Narcisse Tordoir, Rosemarie Trockel, and others. In addition Artists'
Favourites will present two films in Cinema 2: Chris Marker's La Jetée
(1969), selected by Janet Cardiff and Chantal Akerman's D'Est (1993),
selected by Gillian Wearing. The selecting artists for Act II are: Art
& Language, Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Ghada Amer, Daniel Buren, Janet Cardiff,
Martin Creed, Olafur Eliasson, Ceal Floyer, Liam Gillick, Eberhard Havekost,
Susan Hiller, Koo Jeong-A, Cildo Meireles, Vik Muniz, Rivane Neuenschwander,
Cornelia Parker, Tino Sehgal, Luc Tuymans and Gillian Wearing. Mon-Fri

ICA UNSIGNED FEAT.
THE PIPETTES
+ ALICE MCLAUGHLIN + MASA
'Hi-NRG pop... synchronised hand movements and songs which rhyme 'ABC123XYZ'
with 'he don't care about XTC' Independent As the Autumn season kicks
in, the ICA brings you the best of it's unsigned findings in recent months.
Guaranteed to put a smile on your face. The Pipettes have been alive for
just over six months but have wasted no time in a mission to turn back
the clock. Three girls, one tight vocal harmony, endless comparisons to
The Supremes, The Ronettes and Le Tigre abound. But there's more to The
Pipettes than vogue-athons, doo wop and matching dresses, influences such
as West End musicals, punk and minimalism are undeniably thrown into the
eclectic mix.

THE DUKE SPIRIT
+ SUPPORT
'The Duke Spirit are notoriously captivating' The Independent After last
autumn's critically acclaimed mini-album, Roll, Spirit, Roll, tongues
have long since been wagging on the ever developing quality of the 'Dukes'.
Not only are the London five-piece purveyors of fine grizzled rock, but
helmed by their mesmerising frontwoman, Liela Moss, they also offer us
the UK's first bona fide female rock icon since Polly Jean turned PJ.
Unapologetically fusing PJ Harvey with Hendrix, Joy Division with The
Velvet Underground, The Duke Spirit splice gritty blues with the raw power
of punk and a rebel pop sensibility. And what on record is a cauldron
of potential energy, live explodes into raging life. £8,£7
