Still from ‘Stiletto’ by Adam Roberts
The third in the ‘Filmarmalade Presents Lil Joe’s, 9/11, Porn, Yanks and Murder…’ series of artist film and video screenings at IMT.
Adam Roberts’ ‘Stiletto’, enacts a few moments in the life of a young orphaned boy who restlessly wiles away the time in the suburban idyll of his aunt’s unloving home. Haunted by self-doubt and loathing for all that surrounds him, he creates through a series of ritualistic offerings, an animal deity, which he keeps caged in a shed at the bottom of the garden and whose existence ultimately leads to a horrific finale.

Filmarmalade
Following on from the success of IMT hosting Filmarmalade Presents Lil Joe’s, 911, Porn, Yanks and Murder…, a series of artists’ film screenings curated by Gordon Shrigley, we would like to announce IMT’s ongoing collaboration with Filmarmalade and its sister project Marmalade.
Marmalade and Filmarmalade are not simply an artists’ book and artists film and video publishing platform, but projects that, like IMT’s, aim to inspire debate around issues integral to contemporary arts practice.
Gordon Shrigley on Marmalade & Filmarmalade:
“Sometime after finishing the work Insignificance around 2000, I’d been working on a series of drawings that explored the idea that somehow line underpins consciousness and wanted to start to think further about why lineature, although it occupies a central role within artistic practice and human culture more generally, nevertheless remains largely unacknowledged.
“And so i started Marmalade as a vehicle to try and understand how line forms the basis for a wide variety of disciplines, but also as a space, a loose clearing if you like, for an intimate conversation between artists to talk about what they have come to see and understand about their chosen medium.
“So when I decided to broaden the scope of the project by publishing artists’ film and video as well as bookworks, the theme of an artists’ relation to medium was extended into the form of filmed interviews, to accompany the film works. And again, to progress the idea of an intimate conversation, I constructed the interviews to be as open as possible, simply the length of an HDV tape with little editing, as a way of recording the space created by the artist, their language, terms of reference, gestures and sense of commitment to practice.
“I would say then, that the Marmalade and Filmarmalade projects are both a way of distributing art through bookworks and DVD’s to a wider audience, but also as a tactic to create a series of wandering conversations around the question of whether there is a form of knowledge available to artists’ alone, that emerges through the discipline of working with a particular medium over time. And if we can agree that this is at the very least an intriguing possibility, how might we come to speak about this arcane form of knowledge, which appears to exist outside of the accepted vicissitudes of what we understand as art history?”

The next event at IMT will be a screening of ‘Stiletto’ by Adam Roberts on 12 November at 18:00 as part of Filmarmalade Presents Lil Joe’s, 911, Porn, Yanks and Murder…
