Jordan Baseman – Dark Is The Night

LoveHowlMuse — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 21:21:00 +0000

UK based film artist Jordan Baseman is making new work in and around Soho interviewing inhabitants who range from the notorious to the anonymous, including hedonists and faded actors. The interview process is at the heart of Baseman’s work. He heavily edits this recorded material, juxtaposing the finished interviews with film footage taken in and around Soho, to construct narratives that mimic and yet subvert the traditional documentary film format. The end product will be a series of films that are at once semi-narrative, poetic and revealing. The works will create a portrait of a place that is both constant and fleeting.

More information, including a free coach trip from London to the preview and Jordan Baseman in conversation with Peter Bonnell on the Artsway website.

How do all of these ideas and states manifest themselves in our lives? In (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction, Jordan Baseman seeks to question something of the broad spectrum of human experience.
