A CELEBRATION OF FILM
Turbine Hall, Tate Modern
on Wednesday 22 February 2012
19:00 to 21:30
Please find attached an
invitation to the above reception.
Tacita Dean is a highly
regarded artist working in analogue and her installation `Film` at
the Turbine Hall is essential viewing for all those passionate about
film. The evening will not only present a unique opportunity to celebrate
the magic of film alongside 500 other expected guests, but also offers a chance
to see the installation itself.
Whether or not we`re
moving towards or already fully embracing the digital age I feel we should
wholeheartedly support and endorse Tacita Dean`s passion, because for some time
now she has been single handedly raising the profile of celluloid and the
potential demise of 16mm processing, through many published articles in the
national press and `Film` has attracted many wonderful reviews (links below).
