Event overview
As part of the Visual Cultures MA Guest Lecture Series, artists Victoria Halford and Steve Beard will present their film 'Voodoo Science Park.'
'Voodoo Science Park'
Halford and Beard’s film 'Voodoo Science Park' traces a secret geography of the Health and Safety Laboratory in the Peak District of Derbyshire, a place that conducts investigations of large-scale accidents, such as tunnel collapses and rail crashes. Mixing fact and fiction, as well as documentary and archive footage, the film imagines a delayed encounter between poet William Blake and political philosopher Thomas Hobbes.
HALFORD & BEARD
Victoria Halford and Steve Beard make art about accidents. Their intention is to narrate a secret history of the accident from an expanded reframing of the evidence base. They contributed to the art world journal 'Inventory' between 1998 and 2005. Victoria studied Fine Art at Goldsmiths and Steve has written the artist’s book 'Perfumed Head.'
