The Serpentine Gallery in Hyde Park, London is hosting a selection of work by the leading British film-maker of his generation. Curated by artist and filmmaker Isaac Julien, it will highlight Jarman’s work in film and painting, including his presentation of the moving image within the gallery context. Jarman was arguably the single most crucial figure of British independent cinema in the 1970s, 80s and 90s. He struggled for Gay Liberation and with the impact of AIDS and lived as a participant observer, recording all that passed before him, from punk to Thatcher, Hampstead Heath to film premieres.
