\nSeminar V\u00a0is devised differently to the preceding seminar series. Although generally running in sync with the fortnightly WSA Staff Seminar series, the key sessions are scheduled as a two day events. These events are brought together under the theme of ‘Re:Making’ – a consideration of what it means to make and re-make ideas, objects and processes (for further details see\u00a0Re:Making<\/a><\/em>). In addition to these events, the series includes a guest speaker visit (in October) and a symposium on Media Theory (in November).<\/p>\n

\nIn a run-up to the exhibition \u201cBarthes\/Burgin\u201d to be held at the John Hansard Gallery early in 2016, Professor Victor Burgin will visit WSA on 12th and 13th October, providing talks each day. Professor Burgin will be discussing the intersection of his theory and practice in conversation with Professor Ryan Bishop. One of these, entitled \u201cStill Moving,\u201d will also include a projection of Burgin\u2019s digital projection works A Place to Read and Parzival. The other will be an illustrated lecture around a new piece commissioned for the Mies van der Rhoe Illinois Institute of Technology building in Chicago.\u00a0Professor Burgin is a renowned theorist of the still and moving image, as well as a highly influential artist whose works have been exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Tate Modern in London.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Drawing Together
\n<\/span>Venue: Discovery Centre, Winchester<\/strong>
\nThrough the medium of chalk and shadows Drawing Together brings people together in a shared act of drawing. Visitors to the Discovery Centre are invited to draw together as a means to draw ourselves together if only fleetingly, just as our shadows are mere fleeting images of ourselves. This act of drawing upon the ground of the city in which we live and work is intended to mark a temporary reflection of ourselves as individuals and as a community. (Organised by Cheng-Chu Weng and Sunil Manghani).\u00a0Further Details…<\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>Re:Making an Exhibition
\n<\/span><\/strong>A two-day seminar event in which we will work\u00a0together to curate an exhibition for the Winchester School of Art Gallery, which will be available to the public throughout November. The exhibition will bring together artists’ book from an exhibition that was originally held in Delhi and at the\u00a0Colombo Art Biennale<\/a>\u00a0in 2014. Working in collaboration with\u00a0Blueprint 12<\/a>, these\u00a0shows were curated by Amit Jain, who will be joining us for this seminar. The original shows of\u00a0\u2018Reading Room<\/a>\u2019 featured\u00a0works by fifteen artists from across the world. Many of these works are being shipped over for our own iteration of the show, to which we will be selecting key works from own\u00a0Artists’ Books Collection<\/a>, held at WSA.\u00a0 The seminar will be co-convened by August Davis, Linda Newington, Sunil Manghani and Amit Jain. The PV for the exhibition will be held on Friday 30 October.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>Media Theory in Transit –\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>One-day symposium at the Winchester School of Art, November 24, 2015
\nConvened by Jussi Parikka and Yigit Soncul
\nMedia theory is in transit: its concepts travel across space and time, claiming new meanings for new uses along the way. It is not a static body of knowledge, but a dynamic, situated process of articulating knowledge and perceiving reality. Media theory crosses both geographical and disciplinary boundaries. It trespasses the border between Humanities and Sciences, and is able to carve out new sites of knowledge. It moves across conceptual lineages from human to non-human and supposedly distinct senses such as sight, hearing and smell. Media theory is not merely a reflection on the world but an active involvement that participates in creating the objects of interest.<\/p>\n
