Istanbul, Turkey

As Director of Kasa Gallery I am happy to announce the new exhibition Charles Csuri: Sketchbooks of Time.

Charles Csuri’s new artworks, animations, drawings and early artworks will be exhibited as a survey of the artist’s career. Through a curatorial analysis of the relationship between the artist and the media (computer and software), the art is framed in a visual representation of the concept of time.

The opening cocktail reception for the exhibition is on March 20, 2012 at 18:00.

Charles Csuri: Sketchbooks of Time is an international curatorial partnership with Senior Curators Lanfranco Aceti, (Kasa Gallery Director, Sabanci University) and Christiane Paul, (The New School and the Whitney Museum of American Art); Curator Janice Glowski (Wittenberg University) and In House Curator, Ozden Sahin (Sabanci University).

The exhibition is a collaboration with the Leonardo Electronic Almanac, The Ohio State University and Goldsmiths College.

Speed, Dromology and Invisibility, Leonardo Electronic Almanac

Deadline January 31, 2012

Are we moving from the futurist’s speed through contemporary dromology to the disappearance of the human body? What are the future trajectories of a continuous process of acceleration? Is the disappearance of the body through artificial speed a process of invisibility or that of a visibility through acceleration?

The instantaneous communication across Web 2.0 and the speed of interactions has created the feeling of a contradiction between an idea of constant presence and that of the disappearance of the body in a constant trajectory of ‘self-dissemination.’ In 1909 the futurists envisaged a new world and some of their far-fetched visionary ideas have come to pass. What is the role that speed will play in the future of humanity in the twenty-first century?

The Leonardo Electronic Almanac (LEA) is inviting proposals from scientists interested in light, speed and invisibility, from artists, critical theorists and academics in cultural studies and digital humanities for an issue on these themes with senior editors Lanfranco Aceti and Chris Townsend, Professor of Media Arts, Royal Holloway, University of London. Scientists that work on issues related to speed and invisibility, media theoreticians, historians, artists that represent in their work the high speed of life and contemporary society are particularly welcome to submit proposals for consideration.

The Leonardo Electronic Almanac (LEA) will produce an online and printed issue, as well as host curated images and videos online.

Proposals to: info@leoalmanac.org

Leonardo Electronic Almanac in collaboration with the Samek Art Gallery and with Kasa Gallery announces a special issue titled: Not Here Not There.

This LEA special issue follows two previous exhibitions, one at Kasa Gallery titled NOT THERE and one at the Samek Art Gallery titled NOT HERE.

This call for papers arises out of the territory between two cultural streams.

Dear All,

Leonardo Electronic Almanac has inherited a large archive of papers,
articles and information.

This material was held in the archive as historical documentation and
as part of the revamp of LEA we have decided to revisit this history
and compare it with contemporary developments.

LEA rekindled 1 is the first historical comparative issue of the
Leonardo Electronic Almanac on the history and contemporary
developments at the intersection of art, science and technology. For
this first issue of LEA rekindled, our editorial intention is to
re-open a dialogue with those who participated and contributed towards
building the history of contemporary art interactions with science and
technology as well as with the new generations of artists, critical
commentators, scientists and technology experts. You can find out more
information on: http://ow.ly/3pA9D

We are asking to the community at large to consider LEA rekindled not
only as an academic publication outlet but also as a repository for
images and documentation (photographic, audio and video). If you have
images from some of the art, science and technology events of the past
20 years that you would like to contribute for publication, please do
get in touch with LEA staff by sending an email to:
info@leoalmanac.org with the subject ‘LEA rekindled 1’.

We look forward to the opportunity of working with you in
re-contextualizing, publishing and archiving these images, artworks
and documentation in stable formats.

LEA is also delighted to announce that for the rekindled issues the
Senior Editorial and Curatorial team is composed of: Lanfranco Aceti,
Paul Brown, Beryl Graham, Craig Harris, Errki Huhtamo, Stephen Jones,
Terrence Masson, Frieder Nake, Christiane Paul and Bruce Wands.
