Curating the Cosmos | online exhibition coinciding with the AAG Annual Meeting | Los Angeles, April 2013

Association of American Geographers 

In conjunction with the 2013 AAG (Association of American Geographers) paper session Curating the Cosmos organised by Deborah Dixon, an online art exhibit of the same name has been co-curated by, Philip Nicholson, Eric Magrane, and Elizabeth Straughan. Drawing on 19th century geographer Alexander Von Humboldt's 'Kosmos', as well as art and science collaborations that engage with a cosmic sensibility, the exhibit is accessible at http://www.curatingthecosmos.com.

The IMS Project: Saturday 23 February & Saturday 2 March 3 - 6pm

The Institute for Mathematical Sciences (IMS) was formed in 2009 in order to explore the relationship between contemporary art and science.  Activated by the precedent of John Latham’s work the group will present a programme of events over 2 weekends which investigates the divergent methodologies employed in the two disciplines.

Each member of The IMS project has proposed a hypothesis related to their practice to be tested against a yes/no outcome. Through the use of this scientific methodology the project asks, how does art function when it is grounded in the proposition of factual truth? Must art depart entirely from the self-reflexive tradition of critique in order to make such factual claims?

Flat Time House will operate as a testing ground where The IMS Project will present their hypotheses and findings.

O FLUXO / Marlene Haring / The Institute of Mathematical Sciences
/ Ilona Sagar


Schedule
Tuesday 22 January at 7 pm: The four participants (O FLUXO, Marlene Haring, The Institute of Mathematical Sciences, and Ilona Sagar) give a short presentation on their working methods and their plans for using the gallery space over the following days. 

Wednesday 23 January from 2 until 6 pm:
O FLUXO, a Portuguese art and design publication originally exclusive to the internet, exhibits their visual manifesto to the public for the first time.

Thursday 24 January from 2 until 6 pm:
The Fourth Wall - Marlene Haring stages the work of the gallery in the shop window during regular work hours. Business as usual, please come in.

Friday 25 January at 7 pm
Following a: full day using the gallery as a production studio, The Institute of Mathematical Sciences presents a film featuring the working hypotheses of each its members in advance of a forthcoming residency at Flat Time House in Peckham.

Saturday 26 January from 3 until 7 pm:
British artist Ilona Sagar conducts Co-, cum-, col-: Make things happen, a performance process and spatial flux. There will also be an all-day screening of her film Aphasic materials (2012).

It is hardly presumptuous to say that the creation of specific, personal working environments is a standard form of operation - no matter one's career or professional interest. However, it's possible that doing so while using the methodologies of art may result in something more than just increased commodity value.

For All our games, a varied group of artists and institutions were selected based on their contrasting relationships to this concept. Each have been invited to partake in a discussion about the construction of their working methods, then are each given control of the gallery space for one day to demonstrate some otherwise intangible aspect of this process. These case studies into the motives of activities categorized as art production provide personal insights into the adaptations artists have made to enable their practices to thrive, even as fields of specialization dissolve into one another.
