Steven Ball
b. February 14, 1960, London, England.

BIOGRAPHY:   Steven Ball has been working in audio-visual media since the early 1980s.

In the late 1980s he accidentally migrated to Melbourne, Australia, where he continued his practice making a number of film, video, sound, and installation works, as well as engaging in various curatorial, administrative, teaching and writing activities, the most significant of which was several years deep involvement with the Melbourne Super 8 Film Group.

 


He returned to the UK in 2000 since when he has continued working as an artist across a range of media, and since 2003 has been Research Fellow in Fine Art at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London, where he has been instrumental in establishing the British Artists’ Film and Video Study Collection.

He has also been a member of the legendary post-punk DIY group Storm Bugs since the late 1970s.



CRITICAL OVERVIEW:   My earlier film and video work combines a reading of landscape sometimes through folkloric phenomena. In Australia this relocated to local cultural concerns, fusing formal elements with loosely 'psychologically' inflected observation of, and immersion in, landscape. As I became more ensconced in Super 8 filmmaking (having found an agreeably open cultural context in the Melbourne Super 8 Film Group and the discovery of the potential for a self-determining practice), my work became a kind of environmental formalism, while experimenting with structure and the 'material' specificities of the Super 8 film format.

 
 
Harmonic Three Three (Maheno)

Moving from Melbourne back to London in 2000 coincided with a move back to video. Works through the 2000s experimented with the transmutable 'material' properties of digital media, which segued into a return to earlier interests in landscape and spatial representation, with more of a focus on the relationship between the local and global, social, political and post-colonial spheres, with particular regard to their dissemination through media platforms, performance and exhibition. This work encompasses digital audio-visual media, in exhibition, online and live, often collaborative, audio-visual and spoken-word performance.

Recent projects have included Deep Water Web, an audio-visual installation and online collaborative work with John Conomos, Film of the Same Name with Philip Sanderson, Concrete Heart Land with Rastko Novakovic, and the screening exhibition Figuring Landscapes, which toured the UK and Australia. My publications include Expanded Cinema: Art Performance Film, Tate Publishing, (co-editor and author, 2011) and writing for journals such as Moving Image Review and Art Journal (MIRAJ) and Senses of Cinema.

I have also been concentrating on music projects, as a member of Storm Bugs (post-punk DIY outfit since 1978) with Philip Sanderson, recently releasing Certified Original and Vintage Fakes, and my new solo album subsongs, which has been described perceptively by Radio Free Midwich as “The missing link between reductionist improv and the intimate breathy song cycles of a Robert Wyatt.”
