Exposed Arts Projects

Meanwhile, we are working on 2020 programme for Exposed. Working title: #cognifiedintelligence ⚗️🧬🔮 We begin to create a taxonomy of the variety of minds. The reason this exercise is worth doing: while it is inevitable that we will manufacture intelligences in all that we make, it is not inevitable or obvious what their character will be. ⚗️🧬🔮 Some possible new minds (according to Kevin Kelly, founding editor of Wired): ... ⚡️A mind like a human mind, just faster in answering (the easiest AI mind to imagine). ⚡️A very slow mind, composed primarily of vast storage and memory. ⚡️A global supermind composed of millions of individual dumb minds in concert. ⚡️A hive mind made of many very smart minds, but unaware it/ they are a hive. ⚡️A borg supermind composed of many smart minds that are very aware they form a unity. ⚡️A mind trained and dedicated to enhancing your personal mind, but useless to anyone else. ⚡️A mind capable of imagining a greater mind, but incapable of making it. ⚡️A mind capable of creating a greater mind, but not self-aware enough to imagine it. ⚡️A mind capable of successfully making a greater mind, once. ⚡️A mind capable of creating a greater mind that can create a yet greater mind, etc. ⚡️A mind with operational access to its source code, so it can routinely mess with its own processes. ⚡️A superlogic mind without emotion. ⚡️A general problem-solving mind, but without any self-awareness. ⚡️A self-aware mind, but without general problem solving. ⚡️A mind that takes a long time to develop and requires a protector mind until it matures. ⚡️An ultraslow mind spread over large physical distance that appears “invisible” to fast minds. ⚡️A mind capable of cloning itself exactly many times quickly. ⚡️A mind capable of cloning itself and remaining in unity with its clones. ⚡️A mind capable of immortality by migrating from platform to platform. ⚡️A rapid, dynamic mind capable of changing the process and character of its cognition. ⚡️A nanomind that is the smallest possible (size and energy profile) self-aware mind. ✨ #intelligence #ai #wip #research #exposedartsprojects #2020

The project is centered around the film ‘Sausages’ by artist Phillip Reeves, and also encompasses an art inst...allation and an artist talk. The discussion after the film screening will take the concept of event as a point of departure to uncover the narratives and critical thinking behind the film, and contextualise it within critical discourse. We will tackle the issues of traditions and rituals, hierarchies and power relations, social and gender roles and ways of empowering individuals through awareness and humour. ✨ The even is free, (vegan), and open to all. Doors open: 19.00 /// Film Screening: 19.30 /// Discussion: 19.45 /// Drinks & Sausages: 20.20 ✨ #phillipreeves #filmscreening #sausages #artinlondon #darkhumor #comecomecome #tonight #exposedartsprojects

“As tensions mount in a post-apocalyptic world where food shortages have become the norm, so goes this classic portrayal of Master and Apprentice. Using the familiar dreamscape sequence, Little Chef is put to work amongst the horrors of a semi-mechanical assemblage line in Big Chef’s sausage factory. As the spoils of war are unceremoniously dumped upon the factory floor, a mysterious appearance of a young woman in a blue dress adds intrigue to the finale, as the dirt-laden ai...r thickens the vacuous atmosphere that surrounds this culinary art noir spectacle.”
- Phillip Reeves

‘Neo Norte’ is our September 2019 research project, organised with artist and curator @terechad and publishing house @editorialfacsimile 🌟🙏 It will proceed as an open surgery on the idea of ‘The New North’ - performed by a group of 20 artists, critically responding to the stereotypes and myths associated with Latino-American art. . As the part of research and development process, Tere Chad curated a collage workshop, which took place yesterday at Exposed. The artists worked ...in groups to challenge the visual representation of “the North”. It was a great way to get to know each other’s work and see how the varied visions intertwine. . We had fun (and #winteriscoming 💨😏) . #neonorte #newnorth #artworkshop #collage #collagework #terechad #artresearch #contemporaryart #researchbasedart #wip #artistatwork #exposedartsprojects

🌍🌊Please join us for the “Bodies of Water” reading group on 7 MAY / 18:00-20:00 🌊🌚 — as we will be divining deeper into the theory behind the EQUINOX LIGHT CURE exhibition 🧜‍♀️. . In her book “Bodies of Water” Astrida Neimanis invites us to dive into a vast and important task: rethinking embodiment as watery, against conventional understandings of the individual subject as discrete, coherently bounded, and awaiting control. This discrete individualism is indeed washed away as... a "dry myth" as Neimanis proposes her notion of "hydrocommons." Her understanding of bodies of water challenges not only individualism, but also the anthropocentrism of which the unitary subject is but a part. Neimanis thus declares from the very opening of her book that "water embodiment presents a challenge to three related humanist understandings of corporeality: discrete individualism, anthropocentrism, and phallogocentrism". She then develops feminist figurations aiming to unsettle all three: her concepts of gestationality, of amniotics, and her posthuman feminist phenomenology. . We will read closely and discuss Chapter 1 — where Neimanis suggests that feminist theory may intervene in phenomenology as a corrective to anthropocentrism. Her point is: our bodies, even while wildly imbricated in watery entanglements much beyond our consciousness, are nonetheless lived, and expanding this experience to the posthuman is indeed a phenomenological exercise that may produce a posthuman ethics of difference. . As we read, we interrogate how the recurring ideas of Neimanis can be used as departure points for our artistic and research methodologies — starting by looking into the artworks by @margotrushina in the EQUINOX exhibition. . The event is free and open to all, tea and cookies provided 🍪☕️
Let’s come together!
✨🌟🔮🧚🏻‍♀️🌟✨ DM us if you like to attend, and we will send you the text. ✨🌟🔮🧚🏻‍♀️🌟✨

Meet another EQUINOX LIGHT CURE maker - Elisa Carutti (posing between her mesmerising paintings at Exposed) ✨🌟✨🌟✨🌟✨ When she works, Elisa Carutti keeps on adding layers of paint until she feels it is the time to subtract them. Her destructive action would last for a very short time, blending colours together and stripping layers. Its long-lasting results would be the fragmented, distorted beings. They would not belong to any specific era, history, or culture – even though the...y would remind of many. The tragedy of their impossible existence is grounded in their timelessness: they embrace the fragments of all times. Due to this timelessness, they are cursed to remain the myths: the impossible creatures that seem invincible on the canvas, yet are forever imprisoned in the realm of the artist’s fantasy. ✨🌟✨🌟✨🌟✨ . . #exposedartsprojects #equinox #lightcure #contemporarypainter #painting #contemporaryart #artinlondon #londonexhibition #mythology #myth

Thank you everyone who made it to the “Artist’s Way” workshop (Part 1) on Saturday! ✨💐☀️🥰 It was a brilliant introduction to the 4-week-long experience, inspired by Julia Cameron’s “Artist’s Way” book, curated by artists Zoe Marden @zoemarden and Margo Trushina @margotrushina ✨ We talked about the practice of writing one’s “morning pages” before starting one’s day 👩🏼‍💻📝 made a promise of having at least 2 hours of quality time each week solely with oneself (a.k.a. having an ...“artist date” with oneself)👩🏻‍🎤🎈and had some taster-exercises developed by Zoe and Margo with Cameron’s methods in mind 🔮🐙 ✨ We now have 4 weeks ahead of taking the experience further ✨🔮🌟✨ ✨ If you missed the workshop, Zoe and Margo can email the exercises to you - so you can join the Part 2 on May, 14 (DM us). The audio-recording of the workshop is available on the website 🥰🎈💐 ✨ #artworkshop #artistsway #juliacameron #artresearch #innerartist #artistdate #morningpages #qualitytimewithmyself #artpractice #spiritualpractice #artandspirituality #artthinking #exposedartsprojects

“I remember that tentacle comes from the Latin tentaculum, meaning “feeler,” and tentare, meaning “to feel” and “to try”; and I know that my leggy spider has many-armed allies. Myriad tentacles will be needed to tell the story of the Chthulucene. 🐙🔮 The tentacular are not disembodied figures; they are cnidarians, spiders, fingery beings like humans and raccoons, squid, jellyfish, neural extravaganzas, fibrous entities, flagellated beings, myofibril braids, matted and felted m...icrobial and fungal tangles, probing creepers, swelling roots, reaching and climbing tendrilled ones. The tentacular are also nets and networks, it critters, in and out of clouds. Tentacularity is about life lived along lines — and such a wealth of lines — not at points, not in spheres. “The inhabitants of the world, creatures of all kinds, human and non-human, are wayfarers”; generations are like “a series of interlaced trails.” ✨ - Donna Haraway, Tentacular Thinking: Anthropocene, Capitalocene, Chthulucene, 2016. ✨ ✨ Image: Equinox Light Cure, installation by Zoe Marden.

13 APR / 11:00 ☀️ Thinking with Julia Cameron’s “Artist’s Way”: a workshop ☀️ ✨ Join us for the 4-weeks-long experience, inspired by Julia Cameron’s life-changing book, curated by Margo Trushina and Zoe Marden. @margotrushina @zoemarden ✨ “Artist’s Way” was written by Cameron in 1992 to help people with creative recovery and expose the powerful links between artistic creativity and spiritual connection.... Structured as a series of weekly tasks and exercises, the book suggests its readers the techniques for gaining self-confidence in harnessing their creative talents and skills. More importantly, it activates the reader’s self-awareness and teaches to listen to herself, encouraging her to reconfigure her everyday life into a flow of creative practices and encounters. ✨ Inspired by Cameron’s methods, the artists Margo Trushina and Zoe Marden propose an experimental course that departs from “Artist’s Way” — to further embarks on the contemporary philosophies and individual drives of its participants. ✨ The event is free and open to all. Tea and snacks provided. 🍪☕️ DM us if you like to take part, and share the event with those who may be interested! 💕🔮 . . #artresearch #artworkshop #creativeworkshop #juliacameron #artistsway #selfempowering #artist #artthinking #arttherapy #spiritualawakening #spirituality #artandspirituality #exposedartsprojects #margotrushina #zoemarden

🌊🧜‍♀️Astrida Neimanis on hydrofeminism (with Donna Haraway)🧜‍♀️🌊: ““Today’s lesson in hydrofeminism is about our own fishy beginnings. We could call it ‘evolution’, but if we do we have to be clear on what it means. It’s a lesson in where we come from, but as Donna Haraway writes: “there is no border where evolution ends and history begins, where genes stop and environment takes up, culture rules and nature submits and vice versa. Instead, there are turtles upon turtles of n...ature-culture all the way down. Every being that matters is the conjuries of its formative histories. All of them.” (2017) . . We will be talking more about #hydrofeminism during Neimanis’ reading group at Exposed, with references to @margottrushina and @zoemarden research projects presented as a part of EQUINOX LIGHT CURE ✨🌟✨ More details soon! . . #artresearch #astridaneimanis #bodiesofwater #readinggroup #comingsoon #natureculture #donnaharaway #feminism #feministart #queerart #exposedartsprojects
