Ranging from directly sampling film clips to imitating aspects of films, these engagements deploy highly recognisable examples of cinema to activate collective cultural memory. Artists Moving Image presents a diverse and wide-ranging body of works, from established artists such as Steve McQueen and Douglas Gordon to mid-career artists like Jesse Jones and Rachel Maclean, reinvigorating the existing canon of cinematic artists films.\n\nBeyond discussing individual works, Sarah Smith categorizes and analyzes the trends in this expanding area of art practice,.
