 Cinema
DESCRIPTION:AS SEEN ON SCREEN: ART AND CINEMA\n\n\nAn Arts Council Collecti
 on National Partners exhibition at Walker Art Gallery\n\nA new exhibition 
 at Liverpool’s Walker Art Gallery will explore the relationship between 
 art and cinema\, delving into the fascinating question of what inspires ar
 tists. As seen on screen: art and cinema (31 May to 18 August 2019) featu
 res work by artists including Fiona Banner\, Anthea Hamilton\, Hardeep Pan
 dhal and Sam Taylor-Johnson.\n\nThe exhibition considers the influence of 
 cinema on art across more than 20 artworks. The works represent a broad ra
 nge of media\, including screenprints\, photography and film.\n\nAs seen o
 n screen showcases Merseyside-born artist Fiona Banner’s The Desert\; 
 a five metre-wide screenprint which retells the epic 1962 film Lawrence o
 f Arabia. The large scale of the artwork brings to mind the experience of 
 gazing up at a cinema screen.\n\nWell-known film characters feature\, as i
 n Stuart Pearson Wright’s Woman Surprised by a Werewolf\, while iconic 
 films are referenced in artworks such as A Nightmare on BAME Street by 
 Hardeep Pandhal\, and in Stefan Themerson’s series of photographic still
 s from his 1932 film Europa.\n\nBeth Lewis\, Project Curator at the Walke
 r Art Gallery\, said: “Art and cinema have influenced one another in cou
 ntless different ways and we’re looking forward to making some of those 
 connections visible within the exhibition.\n\n“From a kimono featuring a
 n image of John Travolta starring in Saturday Night Fever\, to a collage 
 of stills from Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho\, visitors will recognise refe
 rences to some of the many iconic films that continue to inspire leading a
 nd emerging artists today.”\n\nMichelle Williams Gamaker’s House of W
 omen\, a film in which actors audition for a re-make of the 1947 film Bl
 ack Narcissus\, also features. Both Banner and Williams Gamaker reimagine 
 films to explore their impact.\n\nOther works\, including Red Snow (from 
 Screen Portfolio) by artist and filmmaker Sam Taylor-Johnson\, and Mario 
 Rossi’s The End/Untitled\, series\, offer new meanings to cinematic cus
 toms such as montage and end credits.\n\nAs seen on screen is the eighth a
 nd final show to be held at the Walker as part of the Arts Council Collect
 ion’s National Partners Programme exhibition series (2016-2019)\, and fe
 atures more than 20 artworks from the Arts Council Collection.\n\nThe Walk
 er’s Arts Council Collection National Partners exhibition programme has 
 been enjoyed by almost half a million visitors between 2016 and 2019. The 
 programme has enabled the Gallery to work with leading artists based in th
 e North West\, and to exhibit major works by artists such as Benedict Drew
 \, Lubaina Himid and Mark Leckey.\n\nIn 2017\, the Walker developed and ex
 hibited the ground-breaking National Partners exhibition\, Coming Out: Se
