Photo Cohen Van Balen Transformism: Melanie Jackson & Revital Cohen Last chance to see Transformism, closes 9 March 2013. John Hansard Gallery, Southampton, SO17 1BJ, UK   Transformism shows two new commissions by Melanie Jackson and Revital Cohen. Both artists, through their distinctive practices, have made works exploring their interests in how cultural archetypes and ideas interweave with science and technology to create new shapes, visual forms and structures. As we develop the tools to manipulate and engineer new forms and systems of life, the exhibition considers our historical and contemporary entanglements with nature, technology and the economy, and how these relationships influence emergent forms in biological and synthetic matter, through new sculpture, installation and moving image works.     LabEasy 5-16 March 2013 The Arts Catalyst, 50-54 Clerkenwell Road, London EC1M 5PS   MadLab's two week residency events have proved really popular.

Jackson's multifaceted work will be installed throughout the ground floor of Flat Time House, the former home and studio of artist John Latham. Her exploration into the Urpflanze is closely aligned with Latham’s preoccupation with ‘the event’. Common to Latham’s works and Jackson’s The Urpflanze (Part 2) there is an opening of the boundaries through and between objects, bodies, non-human and human events, sentient and inert material.   Associate event Jon Adams 'best before floor 4 to 7', Manipulated photograph, 27th February 2013.   Affecting Perception: Art and Autism Organised by AXNS Collective as part of Oxford Science Festival, Art & Neuroscience Tuesday, 26 March 2013, 6-7pm, free Magdalen Road Studio, 74 Magdalen Road, Oxford OX4 Simon Baron-Cohen, professor of developmental psychopathology and artist Jon Adams, collaborators in an Arts Catalyst research project at the Autism Research Centre in Cambridge, will discuss the scientific and artistic journey they have embarked on in a project funded by Wellcome Trust.   Arts Catalyst projects showing internationally Agnes Meyer-Brandis, Moon Goose Colony (still) Agnes Meyer-Brandis' Moon Goose Colony in Videonale 14 Kunstmuseum Bonn, Friedrich-Ebert-Allee 2, 53113 Bonn, Germany Until 7 April 2013 Agnes Meyer Brandis’ enchanting film about her endeavour to imprint, bring up and train a flock of contemporary moon geese astronauts.   Free Enterprise: The Art of Citizen Space Exploration University of California, Riverside (UCR), Los Angeles, USA Until 18 May 2013 A contemporary art exhibition featuring artists and organizations exploring the implications of civilian space travel, including Agnes Meyer Brandis’ Moon Goose Colony and the Arts Catalyst film Attention Weightlessness.
