DEREK JARMAN
Derek Jarman (1942-1994) was a British filmmaker, writer and activist, amongst other noted activities and died of AIDS-related causes on the cusp of the emergence of a continuing celebration of “queer” cultural production across a range of contexts. Avowedly gay as he moved through many of London’s scenes since first studying as a painter at the Slade School of Fine Art in the early 1960s, Jarman’s provocations built on and disseminated the practices of European and North American avant-gardes in art and literature: a foregrounding of subjective desires and fantasies that confronted questions about why and how the world should be imagined as different than it is. This programme aims to introduce Jarman’s films to recent queer filmmakers and artists in order to map the historical interests of many continuing methods: moral ambivalence; intersections of personal, political and aesthetic; subversion of genres; and copious visions of what a conservative public would refuse to want to watch.
