Artists’ Film International (AFI) is a collaborative project featuring film, video and animation from around the world. Established by Whitechapel Gallery (London) in 2008, AFI includes 18 global partner organisations. Each organisation selects an exciting recent work by an artist from their region which is shared amongst the network. Throughout 2023 the AFI partners have selected moving-image works by artists on the theme of Diaspora with this year Michelle Deignan’s short film Looking for Gary (2018) has been selected by Crawford Art Gallery.
Michelle Deignan (first heard of Islington in London, when sitting her living room one night in 1980 in Ireland, as British New Romantics ‘Spandau Ballet’ were introduced on BBC’s ‘Top of the Pops’, as 'five young guys from Islington who are causing a real buzz in the music industry'.
Ever since, she meshed Islington New Romanticism and Spandau Ballet into one memory. Thirty-eight years later and living nearby, Deignan takes a film crew to Essex Road in Islington, the busy throughfare that Gary Kemp Spandau Ballet's songwriter grew up on. Together they search for a post New Romantic Gary to replace the old one.
Michelle Deignan is an artist and filmmaker based in London. She makes moving image, photographic and print works, for exhibition and screening contexts. These works critically examine the production and dissemination of culture now and historically. Recent exhibitions include: True North, Galería Fermay, Palma de Mallorca, ES (2023); BIENALSUR, Montevideo, UY and Córdoba, AR (2022); Halvad Ideed (Bad Ideas) Tallinna Kunstihoone, Tallinn, EE (2022); Rencontres Internationale Paris/Berlin, Louvre Museum FR (2021). Michelle is a contributor to The Crown Letter, a self-organised international women’s art project, publishing weekly responses by artists to the here, then and now. www.crownproject.art
