>The appearance of Fresh Moves is a unique event 
>making artists' moving images, some of which are 
>rarely seen, available beyond the conventional 
>context of art exhibitions and fleeting lives 
>online. The project is the result of tank.tv's 
>continuous collaboration and exchange with 
>artists, institutions and independent curators 
>which has made it the inimitable platform for 
>moving image practice that it is today.
>
>Showcasing new moving image work since 2003, 
>tank.tv presents its first DVD anthology. This 
>collection contains 24 film and video pieces by 
>24 UK based artists, each around three minutes 
>long, and reflects the creativity, innovation 
>and wide variety of subject matter for which 
>www.tank.tv has become known and respected. It 
>also includes five new, specially commissioned 
>interviews pieces between feted curators and 
>artists.
>
>Fresh Moves was compiled by a panel that 
>included Hans Ulrich Obrist, director of the 
>Serpentine Gallery, and Stuart Comer, curator of 
>film and video at Tate Modern. Turner Prize 
>winner Jeremy Deller and infamous philosopher 
>Slavoj Žižek both make an appearance in the 
>series of interviews.
>
>The DVD features recent work from some of the 
>most important artists working in moving images 
>today, such as Cerith Wyn Evans, Daria Martin, 
>Runa Islam, Spartacus Chetwynd and Andrew 
>Kotting, as well as emerging artists like 
>Torsten Lauschmann, Anja M. Kirschner and David 
>Blandy. Rather than a comprehensive overview, 
>Fresh Moves aims to provide an anthology 
>encompassing animation, fictional narrative, 
>digital film, montage and installation-based 
>film work. The works explore a wide variety of 
>subjects - from politics to identity and 
>aesthetic practices, all tempered with a healthy 
>measure of humour - and so celebrate not just 
>the artists featured, but the art of moving 
>images as a whole.
>
>"...this special project addresses the idea of 
>carrying video and filmic work beyond the 
>boundaries of contextually, or spatially, 
>confined spaces pertaining to where a work can 
>be seen. [...] It furthers the investigation 
>into how different modes of filmmaking evolve 
>within the changing consciousness of the public 
>media [...] a sort of polyphony of voices, 
>stories and philosophies. [The project] 
>...produced an investigation into a new 
>generation of artists working in the UK. [...] 
>Eric Hobsbawm, the great English historian 
>speaks of the very necessary and urgent need for 
>our hyper-paced culture to issue a 'protest 
>against forgetting'."
>Hans Ulrich Obrist
