    The Unilever Series, Turbine Hall, Tate Modern, London
    11 October 2011 - 11 March 2012

    Tacita Dean’s work, ‘Film’ is the twelfth commission in ‘The Unilever Series’ for the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern.

    Tacita Dean is one of the most respected artists working today. Her practice encompasses artist’s books, drawing, found objects, photography and sound installations, but she is best known for her use of 16mm film. Dean’s films act as depictions or portraits rather than conventional narratives, capturing fleeting natural light or subtle shifts in movement.

    MUMOK, Vienna, Austria
    4 March - 29 May 2011

    The title of the show plays with multiple readings of line drawing, the path of ‘lifelines’ and the linearity of filmic narratives and image sequences. Just as lines can connect up different points, the artist connects up different media – film, photography, drawing, and books – in her work.

    Folkestone Triennial
    14 June - 14 September 2008

    Dean’s new film Amadeus is a specially commissioned work which sees the artist returning to Kent - the county of her childhood.

    bq. “Folkestone is all about its relationship to France and the water in between - the Martello towers, The Royal Military Canal, the acoustic mirrors, the deserted ferry terminal and Channel Tunnel rail link. For centuries, we have been barricading ourselves in or trying to reach across. The Channel is our local history: we have fished it, reclaimed land from it, smuggled across it, tried to keep it out or traversed it to lands beyond. We are an island people who have become too content with looking in and have let our seaport citadels rot. I have left England and to return is to return by sea. I might have set myself up badly as a prodigal, choosing a choppy inhospitable sea to cross, which incapacitated my nauseas crew into a Gustav Doré tableau, but I did as all Kentish people should do I, suffered the sea to get home”

    This installation consists of six distinct films depicting legendary choreographer and dancer Merce Cunningham performing Stillness, his singular choreography to John Cage’s radical 1952 composition, 4’ 33”. In each film, the fixed camera remains focused on Cunningham, who sits in a chair and assumes a variety of attitudes. This static scene is broken twice, when Trevor Carlson, director of the Cunningham Dance Company, marks the three parts with a simple gesture. Subtly different, each performance has been filmed from a different camera angle. Each is presented on a screen whose dimensions are calibrated to render the image of Cunningham life-size.

    Tacita Dean will also take part in the Folkestone Triennial
    14 June - 14 September 2008
