About this title

Synopsis

This collection of essays by Peter Gidal includes "Theory and Definition of Structural/Materialist Film" and other texts on metaphor, narrative, and against sexual representation. Also discussed in their specificity are works by Samuel Beckett, Th�r�se Oulton, Gerhard Richter and Andy Warhol. Throughout, Gidal's writing attempts a political aesthetics, polemical as well as theoretical. One of the foremost experimental film-makers in Britain since the late 1960s, Peter Gidal was a central figure at the London Film-Makers' Co-operative, and taught advanced film theory at the Royal College of Art. His previous books include "Andy Warhol: Films and Paintings" (1971) "Understanding Beckett" (1986) and "Materialist Film" (1989).

"An essential point of access to the questions and considerations through which Peter Gidal has consistently fought for film - and vision itself - as a process of interrogation. This collection renews the agency of his primary question: 'What is it to view, how to view the unknown?'" (Stuart Comer, Chief Curator, Museum of Modern Art, New York)

"Radical, spirited, provocative ... Inspiring and invaluable, really. In here we find a welcome voice, singularly unpatronising, nuanced yet fearless in the face of the mind-narrowing opacity of 'everyday life'." (Cerith Wyn Evans)

FLARE OUT: AESTHETICS 1966-2016 is edited by Mark Webber and Peter Gidal.
