aemi is delighted to present ‘The Sun Gives Without Asking’, a screening programme curated by artist Sean Lynch featuring work by Dan Graham, Paul Gregg & Annette Clancy, Magdalena Jitrik, Amanda Rice, and Jorge Satorre, alongside excerpts of Lynch’s own ongoing video project What Is An Apparatus?. Revolving around the radical potential of storytelling, Lynch’s programme proposes  forms of cultural pursuit that interrogate the complex motifs found deep in everyday life, place, and capitalist society. From windows, supermarkets, and telephones, the measures and shapes of the western world that aim to manage and orient human behaviour become evident – with a sleight of hand they might change into new malleable and eclectic forms, gleefully spurred on by artistic energies!
