| Posted: 01 Oct 2012 03:15 AM PDT Thursday 25.10.2012 Thursday Scratch Nights Talk/PerformanceSPA(E)CIOUS PRESENT, Dynamics of collective and individual experiences of space and duration within specious present 25 October / 6.30pm / Free This event is based on the multidisciplinary approach of Elena Cologni's current project Rockfluid, where site specific art practice is underpinned by elements of geography, cognitive psychology and philosophy. To walk through places involves kinesthesia, memory and our awareness of where we are in any given present moment. SPA(E)CIOUS is a form of collaborative peripatetic practice, where produced and shared knowledge informs the artist's creative process. For participants, it creates the physical and psychological conditions to enhance an awareness of the perception – and illusion – of time and space in the present. Cologni inserts a variable element of interference in our experience, which varies every time Spa(e)cious takes place (e.g. an unstable platform). As the series develops from this, a dialogue with art critic and film maker Helena Blaker also shapes the contextualisation of the outcomes. Elena Cologni is studio artist at Wysing Art Centre, Artist in Residence at University of Cambridge, Faculty of Experimental Psychology, and at University of Bedfordshire, School of Art. She studied at the Brera Academy of Art, State University in Milan (Italy), University of Leeds, and she has a PhD from Central Saint Martins College, London (1999-2004, Fine Art with Philosophy and Psychology). She was awarded from the Arts and Humanities Research Council for her Post Doctoral project at Central Saint Martins addressing issues of memory and liveness (2004-2006), Research Fellow at York Saint John University (2007-2009) when her work became primarily site specific and participatory. |

| Jewellery Making Course at The Stani Studios Posted: 04 Sep 2012 05:44 AM PDT  These half day courses over 4 weeks should enable even the most inexperienced beginner, as well as more seasoned crafters, to try a number of different techniques to make simple and original pieces of jewellery either for themselves or as hand made gifts for a friend.
You can make necklaces, pendants, earrings, bracelets or even a simple ring. If you are looking to make some jewellery to go with an outfit or for a special occasion, please let the tutor know in advance so that she can bring the right selection of beads and stones. (Where sterling silver findings and specialist stones are used, a small change will need to be made to cover costs.) Students will normally make jewellery equivalent to the course fee in retail value. Even better, they are also able to wear what they have made when they go home ! The Stani Studios is located on the High Street in the centre of Stony Stratford close to all amenities and with free car parking. All courses and workshops are limited to a maximum of 6 students to ensure you will get all the personal attention and individual support you need. !
