Chantal Akerman

Chantal Akerman

Camden Arts Centre, London
11 July – 14 September 2008

For her first solo exhibition in a UK public gallery Belgian filmmaker Chantal Akerman presents a number of film works in varying formats. Beginning her career in the 1970’s Akerman has become known as one of the most important European directors of her generation.

Her films shift between experimental, documentary and narrative formats and are all closely related to feminism, sexuality and her family history (Polish Jews who moved to Belgium after the war).

Through her filming and editing processes Akerman highlights the ‘real’ passage of time rather than the artificial time created through the cinematic experience.

Akerman also has a solo exhibition entitled Moving through Time and Space at MIT List Visual Arts Center from 2 May – 6 July 2008
