Join us on Saturday 6 September at Ikon Eastside for a celebration of Len Lye, a pioneering and incessantly curious artist/filmmaker.
The
evening which has been organised in collaboration with 7Inch Cinema, includes 16mm screenings of a full range of Lye’s film works
from early experiments for the GPO Film Unit to the masterly Free
Radicals (1959) and is accompanied by a talk with Tyler Cann, Curator
of the Len Lye Collection at the Govett-Brewster Gallery in New
Plymouth, New Zealand. There is also a rare screening of Lye’s first
film Tusalava (1929) with specially-commissioned live score by
acclaimed young jazz pianist Alcyona.
