ART AND RE-ENACTMENT Thursday 28 March 6.00pm CCA 5 �5/�4 This discussion will explore re-enactment as a theme within contemporary art practice; looking at the process of reconstruction and the relationship between history, artifice and representation in contemporary re-enactments. The panel will include presentations by all the artists plus extracts from video works.
Speakers include: TOM O'SULLIVAN/JOANNE TATHAM are artists who live and work in Glasgow.

Exhibitions include the Berlin Biennale and a solo project at Tramway. LINDER STERLING is an artist based in Manchester who is renowned for her images for record sleeves such as The Buzzcocks 'Orgasm Addict', Morrissey's 'Your Arsenal' and Magazine's 'Real Life' and for fronting the post-punk group Ludus. She will talk about her work 'The Working Class Goes to Paradise'; taking its title from a spaghetti western, the performance involves a mythical re-enactment of dance rituals by Ann Lee the female preacher and founder of the Shaker movement merged with the figure of Clint Eastwood from a Sergio Leone film. JANE POLLARD/IAIN FORSYTH, met at Goldsmiths College and began collaborating in 1994. They have produced photographic and film-based work that have engaged with and manipulated look and sound-a-like 'tribute' performers. At the ICA in 1998, exactly 25 years to the day, they made a live re-enactment of David Bowie's final performance as Ziggy Stardust featuring a tribute to Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.
