"Dying on Screen," The Wellcome Collection, London, Saturday, January 19

Next Saturday at London's wonderful Wellcome Collection! If I lived in London, I would SO be here:
DYING ON SCREEN: SHORT FILM AND VIDEO BY ARTISTS
Saturday 19 January 2013
Free and Open to the Public

Death, say the sociologists, is a thing we perform. Wise to this, artists of all ilks have made works that comment on death as it happens on the stage of real life. This programme shows some of the best artist films on this topic. Curated by Wild Gift (Rosie Cooper and David Lillington). 
Fabienne Audéoud // Bonnie Camplin // Philip Hoffman // Adel Idris // Anna Molska // Artavazd Peleshian // Alexandre Périgot // Elizabeth Price // Araya Rasdjarmreansook // Michael Robinson
