Short film series goes to Plan B

THE Glynn Vivian gallery comes over all rock'n'roll for the next instalments in their short film series.

Walking After Acconci is on show now until Tuesday, featuring chart- topping singer and MC Plan B.

One of Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard's pieces, the short film recreates Vito Acconci's Walk Over, with their version featuring a young man approaching and walking away from a camera that has been positioned as an intercom might be in the door of a residential flat.

The former Goldsmith's College duo are known for their recreations of big pop culture happenings, with their restaging of David Bowie's farewell performance as Ziggy Stardust, causing a ripple. Music figures largely in their work, with another project revisiting the 1978 Cramps performance at the Napa Mental Institute.

Regular Nick Cave collaborators, the duo were also behind the loopy video for Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds' single Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! as well as for More News From Nowhere and Midnight Man, and they have worked with jazz coolster Gil Scott-Heron.

Next up in the Glynn Vivian film show is Margaret Salmon's PS, with other films running throughout the gallery's exhibition rooms.
