SYMPOSIUM: ARTISTIC PREFIGURATIONS, INSTITUTIONAL BECOMINGS

, Maastricht, Netherlands 28–29 May

Flat Time House Director/Curator Gareth Bell-Jones will be presenting on Artist Placement Group as part of a two-day symposium at Jan Van Eyck Academie, Maastricht. The symposium explores how artistic practice engages with the institutional, economic, and political conditions that surround it, not only as constraints, but as sites of action: conditions that can be questioned, unsettled, and reshaped to test, here and now, other ways of organising social, political, and civic life yet to come.

Registration and programme details:

The project is developed within the European Cooperation Project .ing.s, curated by (JvE Curator & Resident Liaison)

Next week: Saying art, evoking philosophy
An online conversation with philosopher of art Andrew Benjamin

Tuesday 17 March 10am (GMT)

Join over zoom, see link in bio

Hosted by origin\forward/slash\

(Sacha Golob, Marie Hay, Johanna Malt, Hester Reeve, Mark Titmarsh)

An exploratory discussion between /origin\forward/slash\ and philosopher of aesthetics, Andrew Benjamin, author of ‘Art’s Philosophical Work’ (Rowman & Littlefield International, 2015) and the essay ‘What is the Object of Art?’ (Journal of Aesthetics and Phenomenology, 2023) which /origin\forward/slash\ have been recently discussing in relationship to their ongoing concerns.

/origin\forward/slash\ is a group of artists and philosophers who are investigating the mutual implications and challenges of art and philosophy and how one practice can bear on or question the other. Open-ended dialogue in-between the two disciplines forms the mainstay of the group’s internal activity. Of equal priority is material manifestation, thinking in collaboration with relevant theorists and artists and establishing innovative public platforms to share research.

/origin\forward/slash\ is affiliated with Flat Time House, The Centre for Philosophy and Art, Kings College and Sheffeild Hallum

Delighted to be hosting the London launch of ‘Some Monologues’ by Tyler Coburn, a publication that gathers fifteen years of the artist’s scripts (Wendy’s Subway, 2025).

Wednesday 4 February 2026 Doors 6.30pm, performance begins at 7pm

Free, booking essential, to book please email [email protected]

On this occasion, Coburn presents a new monologue entitled ‘People’ that draws influence from A Personal History of American Theatre (1980), a one-person performance by the American actor and writer Spalding Gray (1941–2004). Moving through a set of index cards bearing the names of plays he acted in, Gray told stories related to those productions, dwelling on events unfolding behind the scenes. As the order of the index cards was random, no two performances were ever the same. In Coburn’s version, each of his cards indicates the name of a person who has a role in the book: an academic he interviewed for a project, an amorous attendee to one of his monologues, his collaborator Susan Bennett (the original voice actress of Siri), a data center employee who insulted him, and more. ‘People’ brings focus to Coburn’s many collaborators and the monologues they helped create.

After performing ‘People’, Coburn is joined in conversation by writer and art critic Orit G*t.
