ANDREI RUBLEV
Restored Print with Dolby Stereo
Top Ten Films of All-Time: Peter Bradshaw, Guardian
Top 100 Films of All-Time: Time Out Film Guide
'Towering... one of world cinema's most enthralling films' The Times Andrei
Tarkovsky's monumental second feature was suppressed when it first appeared
in 1966, although its prize-winning appearance at the 1969 Cannes Film
Festival helped to secure both film and filmmaker's international reputations.
This account of the life of 15th-century icon painter Andrei Rublev (c.
1360 - 1430) is more a chronicle of medieval Russian life than a conventional
biopic, following the artist across a physical landscape ravaged by the
Tatar invasions and a spiritual terrain marked by self-doubt and temptation.
Rublev's search for inner-peace is rendered in harsh yet sublime style
by Tarkovsky, who called this 'a film of the earth'; its elemental power
- both visceral and cerebral - is impossible to deny, holding the viewer
rapt from its mysterious, awe-inspiring opening to the beautiful, blazing
colour of the epilogue. Having existed in various forms over the years,
this 189-minute version is the cut that was endorsed by the director himself.
With thanks to Mosfilm Dir Andrei Tarkovsky, Russia, 1966, 189 mins, subs
Cinema 2: 16 - 22 July, 6.30pm
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.
Dir Mike Dibb, UK 2003, 120 mins
Cinema 2: 16 - 22 July, 8.45pm
BUKOWSKI: BORN INTO THIS
'...as vivid as a Lucian Freud nude' The Times
A formidably comprehensive documentary about poet/novelist Charles Bukowski,
examining the connections between his hard-drinking, troubled, romantic
lifestyle and his fearless, direct art. This feature-length documentary
cuts straight to the heart of its subject, giving the viewer access to
original transcripts, family snapshots and visits to locations from Bukowski's
formative years. Lovers, friends, publishers, collectors and fans such
as Sean Penn, Harry Dean Stanton and Bono provide insight and anecdote,
but the real treasure here is the archive footage of Bukowski himself.
Readings from various stages in the author's career, plus candid interviews,
bring you up close and personal with this legendary figure. Dir John Dullaghan,
USA, 2003, 89 mins

EXHIBITIONS
@ THE ICA
Act 1: 5
June - 23 July, 2004
Galleries: 12-7.30pm
ARTISTS' FAVOURITES: AN EXHIBITION IN TWO ACTS
Which artworks do artists consider important and influential? Which pieces
would artists like to see exhibited? What artworks had an effect on the
practice of other artists? Conceived as an exhibition in two acts, Artists'
Favourites will investigate these questions while examining the different
criteria that determine the way in which art is understood, judged and
how it is in fact classified.
Over thirty of the foremost international artists have each been invited
to select and introduce one of their favourite works of art made between
1947 (the year the ICA first opened) and today. The result is a subjective
and multifarious selection of artworks revealing aspects of the invited
artists' own practice, influences on their work and personal preferences
in art, whilst mirroring the wide spectrum of contemporary artistic practice
created during the fifty-seven years that the ICA has existed.
The invited artists are: Act 1: Pawel Althamer, Eleanor Antin, John Baldessari,
Victor Burgin, Maurizio Cattelan, Michael Elmgreen & Ingar Dragset,
Liam Gillick, Nan Goldin, Brian Jungen, Ilya & Emilia Kabakov, Tim
Lee, Paul McCarthy, Jonathan Monk, Mariko Mori, Gabriel Orozco, Yvonne
Rainer, Anri Sala, Yinka Shonibare, Rirkrit Tiravanija. Act II (30 July
-5 Sept): 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, Gustav Metzger, Cildo Mereiles,
Vik Muniz, Rivane Neuenschwander, Cornelia Parker, Tino Sehgal, Luc Tuymans,
Gillian Wearing Act I will be followed by a short intermission with a
series of talks and discussions. Act II will commence on 30 July and last
until 5 September.

POLYSICS + support
'A gang of Japanese Kids that look like robots and make super atom-smashing
new wave punk. 2004 will be theirs' Dazed & Confused This month the
ICA salutes the wonderful music that has flowed out of Japan in recent
years. We present two evenings of new acts from a country that has unleashed
artists as diverse as Ghost, The Boredoms, OOIOO, Acid Mothers Temple
and Cornelius on the Western psyche. Polysics are first up having dive-bombed
into the public consciousness with their twisted cover of Kajagoogoo's
Too Shy. Three mysterious characters transported back through time from
Neo Tokyo making music that will flatten cities and drain oceans...Think
Devo, think Kraftwerk and think The Residents all played at once at the
wrong speed by Mecha Godzilla!

Now Wave Japan:
Tues 20 July, 7.30pm
MONO + support
Our second night in the Now Wave Japan season features the marvellous
Mono. A steady stream of praise has built recently around Mono, and, following
support slots with Einsturzende Neubauten and Dillinger Escape Plan on
their recent tours, the boys and girl have performed wonders in such seminal
company. Part of the mighty Temporary Residence label in the US (home
to Explosions In The Sky) theirs is a profile that has long been brewing
to promote their new, Steve Albini produced, LP Walking Cloud & Deep
Red Sky and complete a long overdue Peel session. Their new works are
more lush and orchestral than ever, executing their soaring crescendos,
titanic sheets of distortion and dark melodies with the delicacy and precision
of a folded paper crane.

Thurs 22 July , 8pm
SONS AND DAUGHTERS + support
In recent times at the ICA, one support band has towered over all others,
impressing all and sundry with their originality, charm and downright
rocking tunes. From the tribes of Arab Strap and Glasgow's gentry come
two girls and two boys with hearts of gold, country rhythms, now signed
to Domino Records, this summer will see their star ascend as god intends.
Named after Bob Dylan's ode "What you can't understand/Your sons
and your daughters/Are beyond your command" they have just finished
national tours with Franz Ferdinand and The Fiery Furnaces, toured the
US and release Love The Cup on the 12 July.

CHRISTIAN MOELLER: ARCHITECTURE & MEDIA
How can architecture be made capable of dialogue through the integration
of electronic media into the urban context? Christian Moeller is a leading
pioneer in the design of interactive architectural and electronic media
installations. He harnesses sound, light, weather conditions, movements
of the body and human emotions to create spaces that are responsive and
manipulable. Tonight, in a rare public lecture, Moeller explains the aims
of his digital/analogue works. Moeller is Professor of Design/Media Arts
at UCLA; his ground-breaking installations include the Light + Audio Park
- the Party Effect; Kinetic Light Sculpture, and Audio Grove; his latest
book is A Time and Place, media architecture 1990 - 2003, out this month

SIMON FAITHFULL: HARD DRIVE
Simon Faithfull's practice over last 6 years has focused on an open-ended
mapping process. An essential tool within this mapping process has become
the use of a palm-pilot. It has become a kind of psycho-geographer's tool,
enabling Faithfull to map a personal reaction to a place, rather than
an infatuation with digital media to indulge, Faithfull has been attracted
to the awkward, stuttering aspect of technology - the gap between reality
and digital representation and the tendency of both human and digital
systems to collapse. For this show Faithfull will remove the monitors,
replacing them with a stream of drawings output by a single printer. The
piece will manifest the entire collection of drawings amassed over the
last 5 years from places as exotic or mundane as Marrakesh, Leamouth,
Venice, Reading, Amsterdam and New Cross. 13, commissioned by Channel4
and the Arts Council, is a five-minute film built from hundreds of drawings
made whilst walking down the A13 road from Whitechapel to Barking. A13
Wall Drawing. Moving out from the New Media Lab, Faithfull will use tiny
plastic mirror tiles to recreate a drawing from the A13 series pixel by
pixel. The horizon of this drawing will stretch around the lower bar area
enveloping the viewer or drinker in a crude pixelated, glittering landscape.
