Post Modern/Post Script: British Video - Program II

1985, 59:14 min, color, sound

The works in Program II confront the political and cultural issues of 1980's Britain, including the divisive conservatism of Margaret Thatcher's social policies, the conflict in Northern Ireland and concern over America's defense build-up during the Reagan years. In Blue Monday, the Duvet Brothers set appropriated television footage of political events to pop music. Gorilla Tapes uses wildly irreverent humor to craft an indictment of Reagan and Thatcher in Death Valley Days. Graham Young's Accidents in the Home: No. 17 is a deadpan domestic anecdote that resonates with tension and absurdist humor.
