Next Exhibition

Jordan Baseman
Dark is the Night
21 February - 5 April 2009

UK based film artist Jordan Baseman is making new work in and around Soho interviewing inhabitants who range from the notorious to the anonymous, including hedonists and faded actors. The interview process is at the heart of Baseman's work. He heavily edits this recorded material, juxtaposing the finished interviews with film footage taken in and around Soho, to construct narratives that mimic and yet subvert the traditional documentary film format. The end product will be a series of films that are at once semi-narrative, poetic and revealing. The works will create a portrait of a place that is both constant and fleeting.

Jordan Baseman has been co-commissioned by ArtSway and The Photographers' Gallery. Jordan's exhibition at The Photographers' Gallery will follow his ArtSway show, running from 24 April - 14 June 2009.

More information on Jordan Baseman's ArtSway exhibition can be found here . For more information about Jordan and his work please visit his website: www.jordanbaseman.co.uk
