Natural Disaster, 2008, Samue Stevens, C-Type Print,

Samuel Stevens' work includes FIlm and Photography. Stevens has studied at Westminster University where he recieved a PhD in Avant-Garde and Contmeporary Artists' Film and the Slade School of Fine Art, UCL.

Stevens' current project explores and uncovers the activities of the Film and Photo League a radical film group of filmmakers and photographers active in Britain in the 1930s, which is supported by the Arts Foundation following a Fellowship Award in 2017.

Stevens has exhibited films internationally, participating in shows such as Lo Inconmensurable, Una Idea de Europa at CENTROCENTRO, Madrid (2016), Goodgangsters at the Taipei Museum of Fine Art (2008) and New Semantics at the Whitechapel, London (2006), as well as his solo exhibition WHY LOOK? at The Joinery, Dublin in 2011. Constantly looking to current issues as the primary source for his work, Stevens contributed several works to COBRA-RES’, a curatorial group who create art in response to actual events that trigger emergency governmental meetings. These ‘quick-reaction’ pieces bear witness to the influence of Dziga Vertov’s images of ‘life caught unawares’ in his own work, which he describes as “an observational method that attempts to frame the natural rhythms and performances of life”.
