#CRT09 Beryl Graham, Paul O’Neill, Axell Lapp

Posted by: Brian In: art|conference

Beryl talked about a number of exhibitions currated by Sarah E Cook, Ellie Carpenter, Domnic Smith / Sneha Solanki, Kurator by Joasia Krysa, All Maps Welcome/Chris Dorsett

Paul O’Neill -Spectator Curating Subjects, curating architectures, on getting away from the white cube ideal. He had done that in the past, his curatorial difficulties with this resulted in his later shows on juuxtaposing works.

Axell Lapp Cat chasing its tail. Addressing what is research, and what isn’t. So a curator can get three rare pieces together, and this is a wonderful research thing eg Subversive Spaces at Whitworth Gallery. This is a novel experience, fascinating. It may not be interesting as a catalogue, but the reality of the show is. There are interesting things done with research, and if is dull we will forget about it.

Uncurated artist works

Jeanne Van Eisb “Blue House”, a place for artsits, philosphers, people interested in finding out about city planning. Artists making cultural institutions.

Acting Curatiationally…rather than being a curator.

Avoidance of defining oneselfs practice.

PDF import and editing in openoffice
One function I have found useful in openoffice is the ability to import pdfs. This is possible by downloading and installing the pdfimport plugin. This means that you can import a pdf, edit it then output it at a lower resolution for screen. (0)

In the foreground is a Tetsuo Kogawa version (built during RadioCraftLab, during AVFest08) and in the back the remix by sonodrome (built last week at Sonodrome Central). Both assembled by me.

Bioplastic
Jay Cousins and friends had a hackday around bioplastics and laser cutting. Making the bioplastic from starch and glycerin (see this link for more details) and then laser cutting them. Cool stuff, they were even making different color ones. This is important as people move from using commercially sourced plastic in their makerbots to something else. Plastic is expensive to buy for these machines, but it is all around. SO be it bio-plastic or post waste plastic, ways of reusing these provide a compelling reason to throw away less waste. It is amazing that these materials are coming out of the factories, to be used in domestic situations. Together with polymorph and sugru, there are a variety of materials to play around for wearables, for prototypes and one offs. Bring on the future, with peer production.

augmented foraging - cool use of layar -

augmented foraging Originally uploaded by _foam A mobile phone guide to edible urban wild-food sources.

Amsterdam urban_ edibles is developing Augmented_Foraging, a mobile phone guide to wild-food sources using Layar. Much better use of this program than finding property in Amsterdam (unless you live there of course)!
