Talk and Screening by Vicki Bennett.

People Like UsFor 16 years Vicki Bennett has been making CDs, radio, and A/V multimedia under the name People Like Us. Ever since she has been animating and recontextualising found footage collages with an equally witty and dark view of popular culture with a surrealistic edge, both pre-recorded and in a live setting.

Vicki has shown work at, amongst others, Tate Modern, The National Film Theatre, Purcell Room, The ICA, Sydney Opera House, Pompidou Centre, Sonar in Barcelona and The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. She has also performed radio sessions for BBC's John Peel, Mixing It, and also CBC, KPFA and does a regular radio show on WFMU.

Tonight Vicki Bennett presents a selection of films by People Like Us.

This screening is part of several events organised around Poeple Like Us in Newcastle, including an exhibition, a show and a CD launch. For a full list of events click here.
