| This season of films have been curated in conjunction with the Artist's collective, Transidency, whose latest show entitled UNDER/OVER runs at the FOLD Gallery during April 2010. |
| The programme aims to complement the themes investigated in UNDER/OVER, as well as to draw out the comparisons between the films themselves which collectively act as a body of enquiry into those same themes which include self & enforced mythologising, ridiculous labour, over work/under work and the in-between, an ongoing investigation into the deceptive quality of the Earth's iconography and the spaces of war. |

HERE IS ALWAYS SOMEWHERE ELSE – THE DISAPEARANCE OF BAS JAN ADER Rene Daalder US | 2008 | 78 mins | Colour | DV |
Critically acclaimed documentary about enigmatic Dutch/Californian artist Bas Jan Ader (1942-1975), whose daring conceptual performances culminated in his mysterious disappearance at sea. As recounted through the eyes of fellow emigrant Rene Daalder, ADER's story becomes a sweeping overview of contemporary art as well as an epic saga of the transformative powers of the ocean.
Featuring work from artists Tacita Dean, Rodney Graham, Marcel Broodthaers, Ger van Elk, Charles Ray, Wim T. Schippers, Chris Burden, Fiona Tan and Pipilotti Rist.

Transidency is a core but ever evolving group of artists, event organizers and film buffs; who set up and then dismantle exhibitions, events and texts on a rolling basis. The premise for the collective is that each member has an individual desire to respond to, and revolve around, the bright spark of an initial idea or context in a socially minded way.
