A line of nine small black and white video monitors placed side by side on a sloping plank showing a lone figure running in a landscape. Of the work, Sinden remarked, “It is a kind of homage to Eadweard Mubridge’s pioneering Motion Picture Studies (1878/85). Looking back it does seem to mark a significant shift in my practice, moving from single screen work to expanded cinema and installation in the gallery context. At the time I did not own any video equipment, it was too expensive, usually you had to beg, steal or borrow what you wanted to use. I saw the gallery more as a laboratory not an end point, a place to experiment and make new connections”.

The issues of his more recent work explored the moving image in relationship to issues of contemporary art and the environment of exhibition: opening up space for reflection and interaction, between the work and spectator.

Tony Sinden (1943-2009) was an artist who began independently to make short experimental films in 1966. Subsequently he went on to produce several films funded by The British Film Institute and Arts Council of England. His practice in the 1970’s embraced a conceptual approach to film and video and wide-ranging debates of contemporary art. He was one of the first artists in the UK to exhibit film, video and installation in the gallery context, including at the ICA, Serpentine and Hayward Gallery; Arnolfini Gallery, Bristol and Third Eye Centre, Glasgow.
