    Black Mirror Curated by Julia Schwartz ).'82/+0'3+9-'22+8? Black Mirror Curated by Julia Schwartz Charlie James Gallery is pleased to present Black Mirror, a group exhibition curated by Julia Schwartz, with works by Andrea Marie Breiling, Dani Dodge, Kio Griffith, Karl Haendel, Kenyatta AC Hinkle, Cole M James, Elana Mann, Abdul Mazid, Thinh Nguyen, Warren Neidich, Claudia Parducci, Julia Schwartz, and Thaddeus Strode. In Black Mirror, 13 artists respond to the current political and cultural moment through painting, drawing, installation, photography, and video. The works in this exhibition contend with what it means to live in the age of Trump, Wikileaks, and border walls; an age when the term BlackLivesMatter holds urgent currency, women’s bodies are once again up for grabs and whole segments of the population are obliged to live in a state of erasure. The artists employ disparate approaches in their responses to this historical moment: subversive humor and wit, practical guidance, documentation and conceptual analysis, poignant abstraction, emotional release. The title, Black Mirror, is taken from the dystopian TV show, which examines the dangerous capacities of technology and social media to shape our thoughts and control our behaviors. Black Mirror refers as well to Claude Glass, small mirrors used by artists that abstract and distort the reflected subject.

  • Art & Education
    Art & Education School Watch November 2017 Saas-Fee Summer Institute of Art: A Berlin Intensive at the Juncture of Theory, Praxis, and Art • Jennifer Teets A captive audience fills the Spike Art Quarterly venue for the public evening lecture by writer, media-theorist, an 2017. Photograph courtesy Saas-Fee Summer Institute of Art. While listening to French economist and Saas-Fee Summer Institute of Art faculty member Yann Moulier Boutang describe the rise and impact of knowledge as a factor of production in contemporary economies, I knew that evening I would be given my share of three kinds of wine, to borrow a metaphor of Moulier Boutang’s describing the nature of finance and the role of speculation: “old wine in new bottles,” “new wine and new bottles,” and “new wine in old bottles.” A new kind of capitalism had emerged, the author said, one created by the rise of new digital technologies.[1] Termed “cognitive capitalism,” the hypothesis is not new to the Saas-Fee; in fact, it has provided a conceptual foundation to the program since the roaming academy’s 2015 inaugural session. Cognitive capitalism assembles a complex web of practices that address the intelligence produced by the brain and computing power, and their collective impact on the physical world. Different strands have been identified over the years, primarily in Italian and French academic circles, such as Catherine Malabou’s concept of plasticity and the possibility of a plastic ontology, and the Saas-Fee Summer Institute of Art’s curriculum has been driven by a desire to understand cognitive capitalism’s various threads.

  • The Historical Emergence and Conceptual Context of Neuro-Art
    Art and Neuroscience: The Historical Emergence and Conceptual Context of Neuro-Art by Carin Laura D’Souza A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of: Doctor of Philosophy in Art History Approved Dissertation Committee: Prof. Dr. Paul Crowther, chair Prof. Dr. Claus Hilgetag Dr. Timothy Senior Prof. Dr. Robert Zwijnenberg Date of Defense: November 13, 2012 School of Humanities and Social Science, Jacobs University, Bremen i ii Abstract This study has developed on the premise that neuroscience has a significant impact on contemporary art, and on the observation that, from the dialogue with neuroscience, a new artistic tendency has been emerging. The aim of this research was therefore to investigate the roots, the emergence, and development of what I generically call neuro art. The main objective of the research was to initiate the history of neuro art. This history of neuro art investigates, for the first time, the relationship between neuroscience and contemporary practice of the visual arts by identifying and examining those artworks that rely on knowledge of the brain and the nervous system. The study begins with a broad analysis of the role neuroscience plays in contemporary culture. The analysis situates neuro art within the larger context of cultural interactions with neuroscience, defines neuro art, and frames the history of neuro art in relation with two other disciplines: neuroaesthetics and neuroarthistory. The core of the research addresses in detail the history of art objects about the brain and the nervous system. Setting the scene, the thesis first describes the earlier manifestations of neuro art and identifies its conceptual and historical roots.

    GALERIE THADDAEUS ROPAC JACK PIERSON Jack Pierson wurde 1960 in Plymouth, Massachusetts, geboren. Während seines Studiums am Massachusetts College of Art in Boston arbeitete er eng mit anderen Fotokünstlern wie Nan Goldin und Philip Lorca diCorcia zusammen; diese Gruppe ist unter dem Namen „Boston School“ ein Begriff. Heute lebt und arbeitet Jack Pierson in New York und in seinem Haus in der Wüste westlich von Los Angeles. Jack Pierson ist in seiner künstlerischen Praxis und der Wahl seiner Medien und Sujets sehr vielseitig, Fragmente urbaner Landschaften, Stillleben gewöhnlicher Objekte, homoerotische Akte, evokative Worte, in Collagen eingearbeitet oder in Neonschilder transformiert, sind Bestandteile seines Werkes. Seine Fotoarbeiten werden oft mit Bildern aus Road Movies mit Attributen des amerikanischen Westens assoziert und seine großformatigen Wandskulpturen aus Buchstaben verschiedener Größe und Materialität zusammengesetzten Slogans sind in Ihrer klaren Umrissenheit der weichzeichnenden Unschärfe seiner Fotografien diametral entgegengesetzt. Der Künstler sucht die Kehrseite des Konzeptes „American Dream“ zu erforschen. Er versucht auszudrücken, was er als „die dem Streben nach Glamour innewohnende Tragik“ bezeichnet.
