Abstract: | Hanging Out, is the title of the Artist Moving Image Festival, programmed by artists Emmie McLuskey, Ima-Abasi Okon and Kimberley O’Neill. As part of their ongoing conversation, the programmers continually returned to what it means to ‘hang outside’ typical moving image conventions and social structures. The work included in the festival explored themes of repetition, memorial, outside-ness and gesture. The themes listed attempt to articulate a praxis whereby an operation of hanging out is evidenced in film as a network of elements. Hanging Out programme considered the power of the aural and optic languages, foregrounding relationships between people, their environments and the position of the camera. The works in the programme looked to what is happening ‘outside’ both practically and metaphorically, seeking to question how we resist, remember, relate, move, speak and learn. In the reclaiming of space, be that a street corner or a film edit, we see the language of gesture holding a complexity, which words fail to articulate. The function of repetition enacts rather than describes. Slowing down or speeding up becomes an embodied politic, reworking existing language in order to highlight or disturb. The works in the programme considered filmmaking as a way of mediating relationships and technical knowledge exchanged and passed through informal networks. In the selected works we saw the apparatus of film being brought into question and ‘hanging out-side’ became a site of production.

'Hanging Out', Artists Moving Image Festival 2019 was conceived, organised and curated by Emmie McLuskey, Ima Abasi-Okon and Kimberley O'Neill.

The ticketed attendance for the festival was 750 people over the two days, as well as an additional footfall of 300 people to the free gallery exhibition, which was unticketed to accompany the festival. |
