NEW YORK TO LONDON AND BACK \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd The Medium of Contingency<\/b> January 18 \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd February 19, 2011
\nThe Directors of Thomas Dane are pleased to present a collaboration with New York gallerist Miguel Abreu and with Robin Mackay and Tobias Huber of Urbanomic. The latter is a unique organisation based in the UK, which aims to address crucial issues in contemporary philosophy and science in relation to contemporary art practice. The project at Thomas Dane Gallery takes the form of an exhibition, a public discussion, a film screening and a publication, over the course of a four-week period.
\nExhibition Private View: Tuesday, 18 January, 6-8pm<\/b>
\nArtists in the exhibition include Kristen Alvanson, Hans Bellmer, Liz Deschenes, Thomas Eggerer, Rachel Harrison, Gareth James, Alison Knowles, Sam Lewitt, Scott Lyall, R. H. Quaytman, Eileen Quinlan, Raha Raissnia, Jimmy Raskin, Blake Rayne, Pamela Rosenkranz, Pieter Schoolwerth, Amy Sillman, and Cheyney Thompson.
\nIn association with Sutton Lane.
\nDiscussion: The Medium of Contingency: Wednesday, January 19, 6.30-8 pm<\/b>
\nThe notion of \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdcontingency\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd has become crucial both in contemporary philosophy, and, as the artists in this show suggest, in contemporary art. If thought and practice are to abandon the idealism of autonomy and acknowledge the networks they are a part of, the question becomes one of developing a thought and a practice that opens to contingency. The discussion will explore how works of art write contingency into the present; are in turn written by the contingency of their materials; and how these exchanges interact with the market.
