No Man's Land is a web project for Womanifesto 2006
The project, No Man's Land invites 65 participants from diverse
locations and backgrounds to utilize cyber space as the primary
platform to present works addressing the territorially imagined line
of the border, its powers of inclusion and exclusion, and its ability
to simultaneously promote both unity and conflict. Borders also define
our sense of nationalism, giving rise to a sense of belonging or
not-belonging and informing historical and current cultural practices
that influence our sense of nation-hood and ownership.
The project will develop gradually as the invited participants upload
their work.

Seminar at the School of Architecture, CEPT, Ahmedabad, India

Mukul will lead 32 hrs of seminar for students and faculty on art, politics, and technology as refracted through concepts (and metaphors) of space. Some areas of focus will be the potentials of, and restrictions laid upon, digital networked space; the circumscribing of public space in wealthy urban zones; mediaspace (including pervasive/locative media and tactical approaches); activism and dissent; art outside the gallery walls; the body and movement; and acoustic space. A lab component will explore systems- and process-based approaches to sound in space from the 1960s.    

Please join Charles Merewether, Artistic Director and Curator of the 2006 Biennale of Sydney, as he opens Sean Cordeiro & Claire Healy's exhibition, Custom Living, featuring new sculptures and photo-records of ephemeral installations, and Austrian artist  Manu Luksch's sci-fi thriller faceless, made entirely from surveillance video footage, next Thursday, 1st of June, from 6 to 8pm.
