Tate Modern - Expanded Cinema for Rothko

To celebrate the current blockbuster exhibition at Tate Modern, Rothko, Tate Modern features some special events from November 28 till December 2.

The unmissable weekend features an accompanying series of dynamic moving image installations and performances by Malcolm Le Grice, and the debut of The Room, a new live film and music collaboration by Luke Fowler, Keith Rowe, Peter Todd.

Expanded Cinema for Rothko: The Room - Luke Fowler, Keith Rowe, Peter Todd - Friday 28 November, 19.00 – 19.45 - Level 2 Gallery, Tate Modern

The Room is the first event in an ongoing series of collaborations by three artists. 16mm films by filmmakers Luke Fowler and Peter Todd are intertwined with live guitar improvisation by legendary experimental guitarist Keith Rowe. The filmmakers work independently, recording in different rooms, then bring the films together for each unique performance.

Expanded Cinema for Rothko: Malcolm Le Grice - Saturday 29 November - Sunday 30 November - Level 2 Gallery, Tate Modern

Malcolm Le Grice is one of Britain’s most innovative filmmakers. Originally trained as a painter, he has consistently explored the experience of moving images within the art gallery as much as the cinema. This two-day presentation, held in conjunction with the Rothko exhibition, focuses on his dynamic use of colour and abstraction through a series of multiple screen installations and performances.

The daytime programme consists of two repeating installations for three screens, including over 10 works:

Saturday 29 November, 10.00 - 17.00
Sunday 30 November, 10.00 - 17.00

The evenings will feature three live performances by Malcolm Le Grice: Horror Film 1, Threshold, and Berlin Horse.
