In recent years, David Austen’s work has extended from the worlds of painting, drawing and sculpture into that of film. For his Stanley Picker Fellowship, Austen will be creating an ambitious new film work – “a musical without music, performed at the end of the world” – entitled End of Love. The film continues themes explored in two previous films Smoking Moon, exhibited at Camden Art Centre 2007, and Crackers commissioned for his solo show at Milton Keynes Gallery.
