From the author of Becoming Invisible, further exercises in invisibility through Bauhaus color theoryOn Colour... extends the theories of color harmony that Joahnnes Itten taught at the Bauhaus and describes how "through perfect control of breath and color one will eventually be able to generate a luminous cloud of such purity and intensity that it renders all inside it invisible. Beautifully designed and printed, it describes how one can, potentially, produce the "white cloud of invisibility" and documents the author's own attempts to manifest the cloud. These manifestations have a complex group of antecedents that include Lawrence Weiner's early spray-painted works, John Latham's One Second Drawings, Robert Irwin's luminous disc paintings of the 1960s and representations of the ineffable made by spiritualists and occultists.
Freshers is the first project of Sigune Hamann's residency working with perception and attention in Experimental Psychology, Oxford University in collaboration with neuroscientist Prof Kia Nobre and her students. Sigune Hamann explores how experimental treatment, physical handling and viewing of images test and shift perception of ourselves relating to others. In Freshers Hamann splits images and assembles them into interchanging narratives. The project continued in workshops with a photo-based record of students meeting, one to one, on their first college day at Oxford University, Waseda University, Tokyo and Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London between 2016-18. Freshers exists both as an artist book and as a wall installation of 100 photographs recently showing in the solo exhibition Did you spot the Gorilla at the Barn Gallery, St John's Oxford. Sigune Hamann is an artist working in London since 1993. She is Reader in Art and Media Practice at the University of the Arts, Camberwell College of Arts London. www. sigune. co. uk
The Laundry Room is a project curated by Maiko Tsutsumi & Eduardo Padilha (BalinHouseProjects). The Laundry Room project features works by Richard Wentworth and Michael Marriott from an exhibition and an accompanying series of events, held in September/October 2012 at BalinHouseProjects. The project, inspired by Wentworth's Making Do and Getting By, explored the recent transformation and cultural shifts in the Borough/Bermondsey area, through a series of events and dialogues. The exhibition, a display of Wentworth's photographic work and an intervention by Marriott was created as a response to the physical and historical features of the location: the former laundry room adjacent to BalinHouseProjects, located in a 1930s housing estate. This book is also available as a limited edition book with two prints signed and numbered by Richard Wentworth and Michael Marriott in a run of 25 copies.
