The Black Moving Cube + DVD

Historically in England, representations of the black body constitute a ubiquitous presence across fine art and popular culture, yet up to now the subject has received only marginal critical attention. Over the past two decades, new generations of artists working with the moving image have begun to reverse this trend. The included essays do not only function as catalogue-bound texts, which try to define the Black Moving Image season but also as the beginning dialogue that attempts to map out a discussion that will transfer moving-image works from black artists into another arena.
