13 – 17 November 
Image Behaviour is the ICA’s annual convening dedicated to experiments in artists’ moving image, considering the intersectional, cross-disciplinary possibilities of the medium.
Unfolding in the ICA Theatre over five days, Image Behaviour presents new and recent works from Nora Turato, Marianna Simnett, Hannah Quinlan + Rosie Hastings, Keiken, Lawrence Lek + Clifford Sage, Andros Zins-Browne, Lexachast (Amnesia Scanner, Bill Kouligas, Harm van den Dorpel), Ken Okiishi, Julie Béna, Patrick Staff, and others.
Encompassing multi-screen projections, performances, music, workshops and discussions, the programme encourages a dynamic dialogue between artist and audience, as staged interventions interact with – and exist within – moving image environments.
Alongside screenings of standalone works, many artists perform in or alongside their work – exploring the evolving role of moving image in the visual arts.
Image Behaviour builds on the output of the Artists’ Film Biennial, which took place at the ICA in 2013, 2015 and 2017. Now presented annually, the programme continues the ICA’s commitment to supporting artists whose work in moving image navigates the space between the cinema and the gallery. Centring practitioners from varied fields, Image Behaviour stakes out the need for new modes of engagement, presentation and discourse to encompass the perceptual, technological and social possibilities that contemporary artists’ moving image brings to bear.
