Line up is as follows:

1. Brief Intro by Elly Clarke

4. “Serendipity” by Enda O’Donoghue – in relation it to Google and the Serendipity Engine, connections and chance both online and off

5. “Mobilising Loss” 15-20 min presentation by Simon Clark. Discussion of the artist’s postcard project in relation to the rest of his practice and the space of imagination. Via Walter Benjamin, Holbein’s Dead Christ and Simon Clark’s song/video I go to church to count the pews.

6. Janneke Adema: ‘Reflections on open and mobile art. A Round Table Report’

7. plan b will talk about their practice of recording everywhere they go with a GPS and delve through some of their data to show what rubbings they are making of cities and how their tiny scribbles on earth have come to be the drawing of their lives.

8. Elly Clarke – short discussion of Clarke Gallery and mobile exhibitions, leading to open discussion.

All welcome. Free admittance. Tea will be provided. Please dress up warm as the gallery can be a bit chilly!
