Document:
Catherine Elwes was born in St. Maixent, France and lives and works in London and Oxford, England. She has degrees from the Slade School of Art and the Royal College of Art in London. She was active in the feminist art movement in the late 1970s and her practice now centres around videomaking, writing and curating. She co-curated the exhibitions:Women’s Images of Men and About Time at the ICA in 1980. Throughout the 1980s her work and writings continued to explore time–based media in general and feminist themes in particular centering on the belief that the ‘Personal is Political’. Recent work in video has investigated masculinity as it solidifies and dissolves within the military especially in the image of the war hero. She is currently working on a series of landscape works. Her videos have been shown widely both here and abroad and her tapes are in a number of collections including the National Gallery of Ottowa, Arnolfini Gallery, Liverpool and Arts Council England. Her work has been broadcast on Channel 4 television as well as on Spanish, Canadian and French networks. Elwes’ early videos have been archived at LUXONLINE and within the REWIND conservation project, both in the UK.
Elwes is the author of Video Loupe, (K.T. Press, 2000) and Video Art, a guided tour (I.B.Tauris, 2005). She is currently writing Installation and the Moving Image and Landscape and the Moving Image for Wallflower Press. From 1998-2006 she was the director of the UK/Canadian Film & Video Exchange and co-curator of Figuring Landscapes an international screening exhibition on themes of landscape. Elwes is Professor of Moving Image Art at Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London, and Founding Editor of the Moving Image Review & Art Journal (MIRAJ) published by Intellect Books.
