\nLondon Tate Modern<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nBracing in its simplicity, Work Done<\/em> was shot in Florence and the Alps, and celebrates an archaic Europe. Contemplating a stone vault cooled by blocks of ice or the hand stitching of a massive tome or the frying of a local delicacy, Beavers considers human activities without dwelling on human protagonists. Like many of Beavers\u2019 films, Work Done<\/em> is based on a series of textural or transformative equivalences: the workshop and the field, the book and the forest, the mound of cobblestones and a distant mountain. (J. Hoberman, The Village Voice)<\/p>\n
\nRuskin <\/em>visits the sites of John Ruskin\u2019s work: London, the Alps and, above all, Venice, where the camera\u2019s attention to masonry and the interaction of architecture and water mimics the author\u2019s descriptive analysis of the \u201cstones\u201d of the city. The sound of pages turning and the image of a book, Ruskin\u2019s \u2018Unto This Last\u2019, forcibly remind us that a poet\u2019s perceptions, and in this case his political economy, are preserved and reawakened through acts of reading and writing. (P. Adams Sitney, Film Comment)<\/p>\n
