Mock-Documentary. Britain 8pm Artist Eye: The Boat selected by Partick Hughes Paintings and sculpture are stills, chosen to be significant moments in time. Artists have tried to represent movement -the Futurists had a good go at it - but it is hard to do. Movement came naturally to Buster Keaton, he learnt his subtly expressive moves as a child performer in the English music-halls. In his two-reel short, The Boat,a masterpiece of failure, Keaton is in a terrible storm at sea. He throws out his lifebelt and it sinks: this is inevitably only a short shot. Then he casts out his anchor and it floats, which shot lasts longer and is sadder and funnier. As an artist I have been interested in contradictory objects like Man Ray's flat iron with a row of tin tacks down its spine(1924) and Meret Oppenheim's fur cup, saucer, and spoon of 1936. Buster's floating anchor is similarly daft. Perhaps anchors were cast from wooden patterns and Keaton found one and realised it could be used in a film. A verbal oxymoron, like "loud silence" or "living death" or "darkness visible", has an adjective which contradicts its noun. In a visual oxymoron the thing, the anchor, is the noun, and the material - wood - is the adjective which contradicts it. I have painted grey rainbows, stations that move past trains, the end of infinity, and lots of solid space. I am having solo shows in Miami and New York in December, and next year, in July, I will have a retrospective exhibition in London celebrating fifty years as an artist exhibiting contradictory things. www.reverspective.com Giuseppe Gigci - Paintings Flavio Sciole 4 minutes U A documentary about Giuseppe Gigci, a painter.
