Book NowPast Event
Known for his documentary practice, acclaimed artist and filmmaker Mark Boulos is joined by editor Matthew Schum to mark the publication of his first monograph.
Published by Hatje Cantz, the monograph is the culmination of a relationship that began in 2012 when Forma Arts commissioned and produced Echo, a large-scale, experimental and technologically-pioneering video installation.
A book signing will follow screenings shown as part of the conversation. The monograph will be available at a very special launch price for this evening only.

Mark Boulos is a film maker and artist who lives and works in Virginia, USA, where he is assistant professor of photography and film at the Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts. He works across film and photography, also producing large-scale video-art installations.
He has filmed in spaces of subjective devotion that come to inform notions of objectivity; from warzones, to banks, to churches and bedrooms. His contribution to the development of video-art resides in the use of transcendence: times and places when human experience has pushed the boundaries of documentary filmmaking, when the genre itself becomes a liminal art.
His work has been featured in major international group exhibitions, including the Geneva Biennale of the Moving Image (2015), the Sundance Film Festival: New Frontier (2011), the Berlin Biennale (2010), and the Sydney Biennale (2008).
