CIRCUIT premieres Thick Cinema, five new artist cinema commissions curated by Mercedes Vicente.
Thick Cinema features work by Fiona Amundsen, John Di Stefano, Sam Hamilton, Kim Pieters and Joyce Campbell. Each of the five artists has responded to the provocations of the associated symposium The Thickness of Cinema, and the resulting works have been completed in locations including New Zealand, the USA, Australia and Japan. Three of the artists (Amundsen, Pieters and Campbell) will be present for the screening and take part in Saturday’s symposium as speakers.

Yet, according to Wikipedia, the painting is ‘the best known, the most visited, the most written about, the most sung about, the most parodied work of art in the world’. So how to account for the fame of an artwork we haven’t seen? And what have reproductions of Da Vinci’s sixteenth-century portrait got to teach us about time-based art and the online environment in 2015?
