Alexis Milne- Lecture (notes)

3-10-13

Alexis Milne is a London-based artist concerned with issues surrounding contemporary political protest. 
He uses video and performance to direct his work/s. By placing himself inside his performances, he re-visits his youth. 
Milne influenced his work by looking at films such as: 'Made In Britain', 'Stations of the Elevated', 'Wildstyle' and 'Beatstreet'. 
Examples of work include: 'The Delinquents'

  • video series 
  • 80's/90's
and 'Riot' (2010)
  • based on the G20 demonstrations against the financial systems

What interested me about Alexis Milne's work is the unique use of performance and video. I found the way he connected with his work in a physical way intriguing.
