'Looking for Alfred' is a large-format 288-page book which documents the various elements, and stages, of Johan Grimonprez's project of the same name, which uses film, video and photography, as well as storyboards and other drawings by the artist, in an imaginative pursuit of the multi-faceted legacy of Alfred Hitchcock. The publication, lavishly illustrated throughout, features new essays by well-known writers and academics such as Tom McCarthy, Thomas Elsaesser and Patricia Allmer, and retraces the themes of the lookalike and the double that recur in Grimonprez's work, and are such a feature of Hitchcock's own oeuvre.

Mark Lewis' work functions as a critique of cinema, encouraging the viewer's awareness of the clichés, conventions and fragmentary nature of film, and how it has been constructed historically. In so doing, he also acknowledges its suggestive power, and the alluring, seductive visual qualities of the medium, whilst maintaining a certain critical distance in his extraction and re-evaluation of its components. This catalogue provides a survey of Lewis' film works from 1995-2000.

Since they began collaborating in 1993, John Wood and Paul Harrison have accumulated a series of playful and beguiling video works which are distinguished as much by their droll humour as their unerring economy of execution. Played out against a minimalist, monochrome backdrop, or within the sealed-off space of the monitor itself, each of the works involves the presence of one or other of the artists, either as the butt of an extended sight-gag or as the trigger for a spiralling, visually surprising conceit.
