Talk:
Stephen Sutcliffe

18 October 2024

The event is free, Friday 18th October, 6pm - 8pm, and there will be refreshments and a chance to see what has been happening on UNITe 2024 so far.

We’re pleased to bring Glasgow based artist Stephen Sutcliffe (b. 1968, Harrogate) to g39 for an evening of informal chat and film.

Friday 18th October, 6pm - 8pm

Stephen creates film collages from an extensive archive of British television, film sound, broadcast images and spoken word recordings which he has been collecting since childhood. Often reflecting on aspects of British culture and identity, the results are melancholic, poetic and satirical amalgams which subtly tease out and critique ideas of class-consciousness and cultural authority.

Through an extensive editing process Sutcliffe’s works pitch sound against image to subvert predominant narratives, generating alternative readings through the juxtaposition and synchronization of visual and aural material.

The event is free and there will be refreshments and a chance to meet the UNITe 2024 artists.
