Tony Sinden

Tony Sinden (1943-2009) was an artist who began independently to make short experimental films in 1966. Subsequently he went on to produce several films funded by The British Film Institute and Arts Council of England. His practice in the 1970’s embraced a conceptual approach to film and video and wide-ranging debates of contemporary art. He was one of the first artists in the UK to exhibit film, video and installation in the gallery context, including at the ICA, Serpentine and Hayward Gallery; Arnolfini Gallery, Bristol and Third Eye Centre, Glasgow. The issues of his recent work continue to explore the moving image in relationship to issues of contemporary art and the environment of exhibition: opening up space for reflection and interaction, between the work and spectator.
