John Smith
ASSOCIATIONS 7min. 1975
John Smith is one of my favorite experimental film artists. He’s based in the UK and studied at the Royal College of Art. He’s perhaps best know for “Girl Chewing Gum” (1976), where he takes documentary footage of a common street, and then adds the voice-over of a movie director trying to direct the action.

John Wood & Paul Harrison
One More Kilometer 2min. 45sec. 2009
Humor is undoubtedly the most conspicuous aspect of John Wood and Paul Harrison’s video work. In many respects it bears a similarity to a number of West Coast artists of the 1960s and 70s, namely William Wegman, John Baldessari and Allen Ruppersberg.
