William E. Jones / Mansfield 1962

Curated by Stuart Comer The Young and Evil is the next installment in 
our series of guest curated exhibitions.

The digital glow of the internet has largely replaced the dark space of 
the cinema as the site where furtive desires are first expressed and 
encountered on flickering screens. Consequently, the web continues to 
evolve into an uncanny hybrid of personal longing and collective 
interaction where configurations of watching and being watched take on 
radically new form. Reconsidering the historical contours and shifting 
relationships of sex and community in the digital age, a range of 
artists has been invited to select two works: one contemporary video 
shown to be shown online, and one historical film to be screened in the 
cinema. Selectors include Andrea Geyer, William E Jones, Carlos Motta, 
Emily Roysdon, Akram Zaatari, Daria Martin, Karol Radziszewski and Bruce 
Yonemoto.

The programme derives its title from The Young and Evil, a scandalous 
exposé of subcultures in Greenwich Village written by Charles Henri Ford 
and Parker Tyler in 1932. It was banned in the United States and England 
and was published by the Obelisk Press in Paris in 1933.
