LAST CHANCE TO SEE Melanie Jackson The Urpflanze (Part 2)

Continues to 12 May Thurs - Sun 12 - 6 pm   Melanie Jackson's The Urpflanze (Part 2), commissioned by The Arts Catalyst, continues at Flat Time House to 12 May 2013. In a series of moving image works and ceramic sculptures, Jackson continues her ongoing investigation into mutability and transformation, which takes its lead from Goethe's concept of an imaginary primal plant, the Urpflanze, that contained coiled up within it the potential to unfurl all possible future forms.   A pdf presenting text and images discussed by Melanie Jackson and Esther Leslie during their recent salon at Flat Time House is now available here. The text elaborates upon Goethe's concept of the Urpflanze and how as a model for thinking it can transfigure across the social, political and artistic spectrum, acting as a narrative gateway to science fiction and folkloric myths.   Please see www.flattimeho.org.uk for more information.

Flat Time House seeks participants for a new performance by artist Sarah Pierce   Sarah Pierce is looking for a small group of currently enrolled art students to participate in an hour-long public rehearsal and performance. Pierce works in a number of discursive formats that incorporate the personal and the incidental. The piece, titled Campus, emerges from Pierce’s ongoing interest in the college campus as a space of community predicated on shifting levels of presence and participation.   The performance will take place in Flat Time House over the course of one evening on 22 June 2013 and will be part of Flat Time House's forthcoming exhibition The Mental Furniture Industry. No prior experience necessary. For expressions of interest, or for more information please email info@flattimeho.org.uk

Forthcoming exhibition: The Mental Furniture Industry  29 June - 4 Aug Image: Hornsey School of Art students, 1968, courtesy of Middlesex University Archives   Institutionalised education and standardised pedagogical practices are principal activities of the Mental Furniture Industry (MFI). Likewise, the tools of this trade – books and language – are the apparatus of learnt knowledge and received opinion.   This exhibition narrates three historic examples of pedagogical radicalism. The Anti-University, The Hornsey Sit-in and Alexander Trocchi’s sigma project. Alongside a small, accessible archive of material from 1964-1968 are selected works produced by the artists and writers involved in the collective activism.   In addition, a number of artists propose contemporary projects of un-learning, obstruction to instruction and anti-knowledge through performances, physical and performative interventions, including Olivia Plender & Patrick Staff, Sarah Pierce and Adelita Hsuni-Bey. Jakob Jakobsen will launch his new project, Anti-know.
