Circulating Ideas in 17th Century Europe: Networks, Knowledge and Forms
Lecture8 July 2010 to 10 July 2010
The Royal Society SW1Y 5AG[map]
The seventeenth century in Europe was an age of turmoil. Wars, revolutions, and exploration constantly redrew the boundaries of the physical world. But equally important was the turmoil of new ideas that redrew the boundaries of the intellectual world. In poetry and in polemics, men and women involved in philosophy, theology, politics, and science created a dynamic knowledge economy. But if ideas were the currency of this economy, then how did these writers, thinkers, and agents choose the forms in which that currency should circulate? This conference takes up that question, investigating the relationship between the circulation of ideas and the forms in which they circulated. The speakers are Mark Greengrass, Margaret Ezell and Richard Serjeantson.

Cosey Complex
Lecture27 March 2010
Institute of Contemporary Arts SW1Y 5AH[map]
Cosey Complex is a one-day event conceived by writer Maria Fusco that forms a new commission from the Institute of Contemporary Arts. The event will be convened by Fusco and will invite a mixture of practitioners to consider 'Cosey as Methodology'. Submissions selected from a call for papers, alongside invited contributors, will respond to the overall theme; participation will take the form of more traditional forms of presentation, such as academic or discussion panels, alongside experimental responses, investigation and performances. The main aim of the event is to further interrogate the implications of Cosey Fanni Tutti's work, without direct reference to the work itself; to put research directly into practice; to delve deeper into the cultural and dialogical implications of 'Cosey'.
