Please join a screening of two artists films, to coincide with the Seven Decades of Contemporary Art and In Proximity exhibitions at Norwich Castle.  ‘I Hope I’m Loud When I’m Dead’ (2018, duration 21 minutes) by Beatrice Gibson will be shown with ‘The Radiator’ (2023, duration 40 minutes) by Gustavo Balbela.

The screening will be followed by an in-person conversation between Gustavo Balbela and Nick Warr, Associate Professor of Art History and Curation at the University of East Anglia and Academic Director of the East Anglian Film Archive.

‘I Hope I’m Loud When I’m Dead’ by Beatrice Gibson is a highly personal account of the artist’s world, set against a volatile socio-political climate and drawing on the voices of poets CA Conrad and Eileen Myles. Gibson’s film was acquired for the collection at Norwich Castle in 2020, with support from Norfolk Contemporary Art Society and national funding organisations.

‘The Radiator’ by Gustavo Balbela fuses footage of Norwich’s Victorian terrace houses with a personal narrative and the teachings of Brazilian economist Maria Conceição Tavares, to reflect on the familiar, the foreign, and experiences of empire. Balbela’s film was selected for the In Proximity Open Art Show.
