Hilary Lloyd: Very High Frequency

Turner Prize-nominated video artist Hilary Lloyd will present a major new commission at Studio Voltaire this autumn. Her new piece is centred all around the work of the playwright and TV writer Dennis Potter. Best known for his TV serials, Potter’s Brechtian techniques helped bring experimental and surreal television into the mainstream. Hilary Lloyd’s installation will combine audio and visual elements with archival materials and performative interludes. Central to the show is a series of short films featuring actors, producers and collaborators connected to Potter’s work and life, featuring Melvyn Bragg and Ken Trodd. Lloyd will explore themes central to Potter’s work including chronic illness, death, sex, abuse of power and class.
