Wheels, Ink Ho-Ho's and Melon: Films by Jennifer West
Film screening
Starr Auditorium
Los Angeles-based artist Jennifer West will create a new film live in the gallery by uniting an unlikely mix of ink, film strips and skate-boarding. In this unique event, titled Skate the Sky Melon Grab Film, West will build on her previous experiments with everyday materials such as pepper spray or Axe body cologne used to physically manipulate celluloid. West will stage a performance in the Turbine Hall for which a team of skate-boarders will traverse paint and ink-covered film strips, their wheels scraping into the celluloid and marking their movements in complex and psychedelic patterns. This live event will be followed by a screening the next evening of the films created plus a selection of West’s earlier films.
