The Little Machine

Tomorrow 2pm NEEDLEWORK: live skin interface. A new performance by Marian Sandberg. Tattoo artist: Holley Rentsch. Essay: Stelarc. Following on from Sandberg’s 2024 performance “Data Reveal Party”, Sandberg again conceives of this performance as a “party”: a goodbye or farewell to the melanin destroyed by her own immune system. Come join us, all welcome, snacks and drinks provided. Please note, during Needlework a tattoo will be applied directly to the skin of the artist. A trigger warning is advised for people with trypanophobia and hematophobia.

Second lecture of our six part series on topics in history and philosophy of art. This Saturday Michael Newall will talk about the cultural and evolutionary foundation of cuteness and will explore its aesthetics. Join us at 2pm, free.

Due to extreme weather warnings we are rescheduling this evening’s artist talk to tomorrow, Saturday August 30, at 4pm. Please stay safe indoors today if you can, and we hope to seeing you many of you tomorrow!
