Towards Artists' Moving Image: Film and Cinematic Consciousness, Britain 1896-1966
Provisionally titled Towards Artists' Moving Image: Film and Cinematic Consciousness, Britain 1896-1966, Fraser's thesis focuses on instances when cinematic form, theory, technology, architecture, discourse, ephemera and ideology influenced existing media of painting, sculpture and printmaking, and/ or inspired artists to work with film or forms of paracinema. Drawing on the archives of artists, collectives and theorists held at the Tate and elsewhere—as well as published accounts in journals and the national and local press—this thesis traces artists’ engagement with film and cinema, and argues for this body of work's inclusion under the present rubric of artists’ moving image.
