Artist Filmmaking after the "Avant-Garde"
Society for Cinema and Media Studies Conference, 2005
London, March 31-April 3, 2005

This panel seeks to reconsider the history and theorization of artist
filmmaking outside a paradigm of the "avant-garde," and a critical
model of "ideological deconstruction," that seem increasingly
unhelpful guides to the aesthetic and conceptual topology of these
works, as well as the specific character of their spectatorship. What is
the relationship of these works - and our discipline of film and media
studies - to contemporary art history? How do we want to theorize the
increasingly dynamic and complex field of contemporary time-based art
within film and media studies?

Papers may address any manner of film, video, or media installation, as
well as historiographies of the "avant-garde."
