Lightbox presents a
selection of Derek Jarman's experimental Super 8 films at Tate Britain, which chronicle
a bohemian world of mystical landscapes, stony ruins and the gleaming
qualities of fire and light. Best known as an iconoclastic filmmaker and polemical gay activist, Jarman also pursued painting, writing and gardening, among other cultural activities. He was one of the catalysts for a generation of artists and filmmakers whose work is only now being fully recognised for its dark, subversive imagination.
This fantastic event is taking place at Tate Britain from Saturday April 5th to Sunday June 1st, Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 5.50pm.
Coinciding with Derek Jarman at the Serpentine Gallery (23 February - 13 April) curated by Isaac Julien.
