Is the field of Fine Art becoming inseparable from computational media?
Theorie Cum Praxi
A one day workshop on the materiality of AV theory-practice in Fine Art PhD research.
10-16.30, 15th February 2008, Slade Research Centre, Woburn Square, London [register with Zara]
Topics for consideration include: How is the practice-theory relation in Fine Art constituted? Is the field of Fine Art becoming inseparable from computational media? Is there a need to make a distinct category ‘AVPhD’? If the paradoxical age of theory/practice is indicative of a time of deep change, how do we respond? For the Fine Arts, how are advancements (however defined) or radical practices made within institutions and how do these relate to the world of Fine Art more broadly? In the immaterial domains of electronic media, what kinds of methodological frameworks are Fine Art PhD candidates currently using? If a PhD is about a field of study for future research in a practice related PhD, what type of encoding or software may be the best for artistic research? (In light of questions of obsolescence, the archive and conservation). Is the whole idea of art in the age of the cultural industry an anachronism?
One Thing and Another in 2007, a top ten from Steve Dietz
I asked Steve Dietz, Artistic Director of ZERO1 and former Walker New Media Curator if he would prepare a top ten list for our roundup. Steve is busy these days, but he managed to indulge and put together a list, if a little late. Thanks, Steve. — Ed.
I’ve never really understood Top Ten or “Best of” lists. Can’t we all just get along? Probably it’s just some kind of Walter Mondale self-loathing gene, but really, who cares if yet another person does – or doesn’t – think Matthew Barney is the greatest living vaseline artist of his generation…..>

New Staff for Slade
I am excited to have accepted a new position at Slade; for three days each week (Monday – Wednesday), starting 7 January 2008, I become Teaching Fellow in Fine Art Media – Digital Media and Print. This is a new position within the Slade, alongside Laura, the new Teaching Fellow in Photography, there will be a change to the Slade’s teaching and support structures. Covering everything within the scope of digital, electronic, and print (analogue and digital), this will be an excellent opportunity to develop cross collaboration with the students between the different media of fine art: bringing together the diverse range of interests within my own practice.

Multiplicities at ARC Projects, Sofia, Bulgaria
15 December 2007 – 26 January 2008
Multiplicities is the first group exhibition at ARC Projects featuring half the current roster of sixteen artists – four based in the UK and four in Bulgaria. This is the first exhibition in a Sofia gallery for mid-career international artists Susan Collins, Alec Finlay, Thomson & Craighead and Mare Tralla. This is also the first occasion their work will be seen alongside that of their Bulgarian peers Luchezar Boyadjiev, Alla Georgieva, Ivan Moudov and Kamen Stoyanov.
“Multiplicities” is a term borrowed from mathematics, which speaks of the condition of being multiple, the relation between a number of identical objects or entities; It has also been used by theorists Gilles Deleuze and Manuel DeLanda to describe how our perceptions of reality change through time, in a constant flow of variety and heterogeneity at a single point in space. Multiplicities can encompass the relationship between original artwork and copy, but also how artists transform supposedly fixed meanings during the process of viewing the work.
Multiplicities showcases new and recent works, all multiples and limited editions, including prints, objects, Internet transmissions, and photographs. The exhibition captures the multifaceted approaches of contemporary artists to traditional genres such as the treatment of landscape, the self-portrait and the still life, or abstraction. Multiplicities also reveals the artists’ commentaries on the historical legacy of movements including Dada, Pop, and Socialist Realism. Works include a re-enactment of Vera Mukhina’s iconic sculpture from 1937; Self-portraits as Lenin; Fortune teller readings from cups of Turkish coffee; A hybrid of carnation and electric fan; Sexually suggestive cushions; Decorative live Internet newsfeeds; The visual cacophony of contemporary Moscow; Colonies designed for different species of bird; Webcam images of the quintessential Scottish landscape.
ARC Projects, 4th Floor, Boulevard Vitosha 90, 1463 Sofia, Bulgaria
www.arcprojects.org
Multiplicities is from 15 December 2007 – 26 January 2008
Exhibition open Wednesday – Saturday, 3 – 8 pm
Seasonal closure from 23 December, open again 3 January
