Curatorial Activities

collective-iz 

Light and Dark Park at LUX, London

In 2012, Deniz co-founded collective-iz in London, with artists and filmmakers Maria Anastassiou, Amy Dickson, and Karolina Raczynski. Since then, collective-iz has programmed and produced significant experimental audio/visual events. The collective’s work has been generously supported by the community of experimental filmmakers and writers in London, including A.L. Rees, Annabel Nicolson, Lis Rhodes, Nicky Hamlyn, Guy Sherwin & Lynn Loo, William Raban, Nick Collins, Simon Payne, Cathy Rogers, Vicky Smith; and institutions, such as The Horse Hospital, Lux/London, Riverside Studies, no.w.here, British Artists' Film and Video Study Collection, to name but a few. These events bring together analogue film projection, live-feed performance, and para-cinematic practices, and foster dialogue between emerging and established artists within the historical trajectory of experimental film and video.
