Curation Elective

Camberwell College of Art.
Curation Elective Journal.

On trying to compile my notes and journal for my elective I found that it was spread across a range of different notebooks and scraps of paper.

In order to make it easier for myself and provide a record of online resources and links for further research, I have compiled it into this blog. Although not strictly a journal, in the traditional sense, it works much better for me and hopefully will also help others in their research.

The Last Tuesday Society and their Shop of Horrors on Mare Street.

The Last Tuesday society is a pataphysical organisation founded by William James at Harvard in the 1870s and presently run by the Chancellor Mr Viktor Wynd. In their own words they are devoted to exploring and furthering the esoteric, literary and artistic aspects of London and beyond.

An amazing little shop and curiosity museum, they also host a number of exhibitions and events. The current exhibition was being installed when I went so haven’t seen it yet, here is what it’s all about…

7th to 31st JANUARY 2010 
Strange Attractor in residence at Viktor Wynd Fine Art Inc

Celebrating unpopular culture since 2001, Strange Attractor has been an open channel for high strangeness in all its forms: publishing books and curating talks, performances, screenings and events at venues all over London. Drawing on a deep seam of knowledge contained within historians, anthropologists, sorcerers, artists, authors, musicians, obscurists and enthusiasts, Strange Attractor declares war on mediocrity and a pox on the footsoldiers of stupidity. Join us!

The first Strange Attractor Salon will be held at Viktor Wynd Fine Art (incorporating The Little Shoppe of Horrors), 11 Mare Street, London, UK, E8 4RP, between 7 and 31 January 2010. The exhibition will gather together, for the first time, a selection of art and illustration from Strange Attractor’s contributors, friends, allies and inspirations. Like our books and events the Salon will incorporate a wide range of media (painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, sound and video) from both trained and untrained artists. The assembled exhibitors all share Strange Attractor’s fascinations with inner space, craft, science (natural and unnatural) and the fantastic.
