Artists' Film Club: Beatrice Gibson + Q&A

21 Oct 2015

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Beatrice Gibson.

London-based artist and filmmaker Beatrice Gibson presents her recent films F for Fibonacci (2014) and Crippled Symmetries (2015); both inspired by William Gaddis’ novel JR (1975), which tells the story of an 11-year-old boy’s forays into business after a school trip to the New York Stock Exchange. Gibson takes Gaddis novel as a starting point to draw contemporary parallels between musical composition and finance, as well as the role of youth in interpretation and understanding.
