CINÉMATHÈQUE TEMPORAIRE DU CJC ✹ #19
Collectif Jeune Cinéma
Revisions by Chris Oakley will be screening in Program #19 of the CJC’s Cinémathèque Temporaire. In 2021, the Collectif Jeune Cinéma celebrates its half-century of existence. To celebrate it, we invited ourselves in residence at Mains d’Oeuvres (Saint-Ouen) in order to set up the Collectif Jeune Cinéma’s Temporary Cinémathèque. More than a third of our catalog will be screened there, at the rate of one screening per week every Friday, and one full Saturday per month. There will be almost 80 screenings in all, with films from 2020 to 1943. Films will be shown in reverse chronological order, according to their production date. Members of the CJC, all filmmakers, will welcome you in this space that we hope will be open to all : that’s why the entrance fee is pay-what-you-want. At the end of each screening, there will be a discussion in the cinema or at the bar of Mains d’Oeuvres. Program #19 (73′) Infos: Mains d’Œuvres, 1 Rue Charles Garnier, 93400 Saint-Ouen (métro 4, 13, 14, bus 85) Salle Star Trek (2nd floor) Pay-what-you-want Doors open at 18h30 / screening at 19

Microscopy of the Union Flag opens at Old Fire Station, Oxford
Exhibition at Old Fire Station, Oxford, 17 January – 14 March 2020
Opening: Thursday 16 January, 6-8pm
Microscopy of the Union Flag is a forensic visual examination of the Union Jack. Utilising progressively greater magnification, the exhibition is a photographic exploration of the physical aspects of the national flag intended as a reflection on the crisis of national identity in which Britain currently finds itself.
Utilising extreme macrophotographic and microphotographic techniques, the work offers a literal parallel to the frantic introspection of a country seeking a definition of itself. The national collective self seems characterised by its rifts as much as common values; rifts between the constituent nations of the Union, as well as the potentially deeper rifts between those of diverging views about the nation’s place in the world at large. The work is a reflection on nationalism and patriotism and is in a literal sense a search for meaning within these concepts; patriotism has vastly different meanings and emotional weight between individuals.

Knowledge is power. And power is possessed especially by whoever controls the flow of information. This applies particularly in digital culture, where all the information in the World Wide Web can be manipulated, uncontrolled.
For a long time, a hope for new forms of democratic participation arose from the use of these digital instruments, but recently they have been misused as the ideal door opener for the surveillance of billions of people. Democratic states have long reserved the right to spy even on their »friends«, in all military, economic, and social aspects, and on all levels: governments, organizations, NGOs, and individual citizens are all under surveillance.

Nuclear Culture Sourcebook
The Nuclear Culture Sourcebook launches 18th October, ICA London, and features work by Chris Oakley and other members of the X-10 group.
The Nuclear Culture Source Book is a resource and introduction to nuclear culture, one of the most urgent themes within contemporary art and society, charting the ways in which art and philosophy contribute to a cultural understanding of the nuclear. The book brings together contemporary art and ideas investigating the nuclear Anthropocene, nuclear sites and materiality, along with important questions of radiological inheritance, nuclear modernity and the philosophical concept of radiation as a hyperobject.

Power in the Land opens 14th May, Aberystwyth Arts Centre
Nuclear power is and has been a frequent presence in the news and is particularly pertinent within current debates surrounding pressures of energy supply around the world. The artist group X-10 bring together the fruits of two years working together around the closure and decommissioning of Wylfa on Anglesey, the last nuclear power station in Wales and the last and largest of the Magnox stations. The final shutdown in December 2015, marked the end of an era for the local community and brings to the fore the question mark over the next generation of nuclear power.
The artists in X-10 present a range of compelling responses through video, photography, sound, sculpture, installation and alternative photographic processes to try and come to terms with the conundrums of nuclear power, our future energy requirements and environmental concerns. The group, who practice both in Wales and England, worked closely together through visits to Wylfa and ensuring a process of continual dialogue. Each artist has made an individual response to the physical and energetic presence of the power station, the future legacy for the Anglesey site and to the complex associations of nuclear power.
Merging art, science and technology the show presents new questions and thoughts to the nuclear debate. The works present a breadth of ideas such as responses to the often-hidden and somewhat mysterious physical actions of the reactor, the sensitive issue around containment of radioactive waste and to the wider associations of nuclear power. The artists are interested in looking at the site’s physical, political and cultural contexts as well as surveying the actual landscape and its geographical situation.
X-10 are Alana Tyson, Annie Grove-White, Ant Dickinson, Bridget Kennedy, Chris Oakley, Helen Grove-White, Jessica Lloyd-Jones, Robin Tarbet, Teresa Paiva, Tim Skinner
