Located at the crossroads of social documentary, video clip, and visual diary, Oliver Payne and Nick Relph's videos are the expression of an urban sensibility that combines social radicalism, the pursuit of pleasure and beauty, and a fondness for cultural paradoxes. In just a few years, the London-based duo has developed an engaged view of contemporary culture that combines raw, immediate excitement with a complex social and political awareness.

British artists Oliver Payne and Nick Relph chronicle contemporary culture through their eclectic style of film-making, which is part documentary, part music video, part surveillance tape and part video diary.

''Mixtape,'' the new video by the young British artists Nick Relph and Oliver Payne, strikes a more optimistic note than the trilogy of tapes seen in their auspicious New York debut at this gallery last year. Their deft, offhand collage style persists, but the bitter, pessimistic view of English life and the heroicizing of youth culture has subsided for the moment. Or perhaps the two have joined forces and metastasized into something deeper

The door said private so I didn't go in. A man was standing there looking at something in the dark and I heard a soundtrack, so I thought he was screening some kind of film production. When I finally realized that the room was part of the gallery I went in just as the image, projected on an end wall screen, was switching from Mayfair, home of the rich and fashionable in London, to Soho, former home of "artists, bums, and revolutionaries." I guess I knew by that time that the films were probably the ones by two British artists I had decided not to see, my reason being, partly, that the artists were very young, 22 and 24, and so would reappear if they were any good, or when they were even better. Somebody else could decide that. But I did see them and then decided that there is really no time to be misguided.
