Paterson, D. (2023) Unravelling Times: Three films by Lis Rhodes, with works by Anne-Marie Copestake, Francis McKee and Iman Tajik. [Exhibitions]

Abstract

Unravelling Times is a group exhibition built around three works by pioneering experimental filmmaker Lis Rhodes: Pictures on Pink Paper (1982), Dissonance and Disturbance (2012), and Ambiguous Journeys (2019). These three films, recently acquired for The Hunterian’s collection through a Freelands Art Fund Acquisition award, range from a feminist exploration of gendered systems of value and power to an analysis of the social and political implications of neo-liberalism in the UK and internationally. The exhibition makes connections between the themes and formal approaches in Rhodes's works and the practices of three Glasgow-based artists: Anne-Marie Copestake, Francis McKee and Iman Tajik. Feminist experimental filmmaking, strategies for representing political protest and experiences of migration come into focus as critical concerns in all of their work, as does a shared commitment to addressing urgent political questions.
