Hi Lauren,
I was a bit like Michael, but also I cant find the name of the artist I was
thinking about
Some ten or even more years ago an American young girl had a videotoycamera
for her birthday and starts after a sort of emotional shock, if I remember
well, filmimg her life. The videos are very low tech and beautifull.
Maybe my mail triggers someome elses mind :)

Yours
Annie

>> My new role is Curator at Turner Contemporary, an arts organisation in
>> Margate, Kent soon (next year) to open a new gallery. The first big project
>> I¹m really getting stuck into is a major exhibition now called Teenage, which
>> will open next summer. It will examine how Teenage  principally as a complex
>> experience with an ambivalent rap in contemporary culture  has been
>> represented in art since about 1900. It will also consider OTeenage¹ as a
>> concept with an interesting and compelex history, resulting in the
>> ambivalence we now have as a culture toward young people  we both envy them
>> for their youth, and media and capitalism do all they can to exploit that
>> image, but we also collectively fear them (if the press Othey¹ get is any
>> indicationS)
>> 
>>  
>> 
>> The project arose from lots of really good work they¹ve been doing here long
>> before my time with both young people and older people reflecting on their
>> own experiences as teenagers. For those who don¹t know it, Margate is now
>> quite a deprived town so many of their experiences are quite difficult, but
>> it also has a really interesting history wrt teenage  many people from all
>> over the country will have spent holidays here in their youth, and it became
>> quite famous as a place for different groups like Mods and Rockers to hang
>> out (and sometimes fight!). So many people have much more positive memories
>> and associations.
>> 
>>  
>> 
>> The show will probably include artworks but also other stuff like music,
>> photographs, etc. I¹m very very keen that it include some great media art
>> works and have been doing some research, but wondered if anyone had made,

>> for me to look at.
>> 
>>  
>> 
>> I¹m also happy to hear your thoughts on the project generally, or your
