The seventh instalment of our Parallel series features UK artist Martin Howse, whose work encompasses research, technology and experimentation through projects and performances that move in the spaces between artistic and scientific explorations. Howse is occupied with an investigation of the links between the earth (geophysical phenomena), software and the human psyche (psychogeophysics) through the construction of experimental situations (performances, laboratories, walks, and workshops), material art works and publications.
Howse has worked and collaborated on acclaimed projects and practices such as The Crystal World, Psychogeophysics, Earthboot, Sketches towards an Earth Computer and Dissolutions. For the last ten years he has initiated numerous open-laboratory style projects and performed, published, lectured and exhibited worldwide. He is equally the creator of the ERD modular synthesizer series.
Martin Howse (UK) will lead a 3-day community workshop leading to a live performance at the ANNEX on March 15, featuring Howse and the workshop participants.
The Parallels series combines networking and performance opportunities for emerging and local artists, with hands-on learning and creative exploration in collaboration with well-known, established artists. With this project we foster safe places for cultural exchange, dialogue and creative envisioning, while supporting local artists involved in community engagement through open calls and expanded community engagement programs that build upon the above-mentioned established activities. Further to all this, we also believe and work in light of a strong commitment to renewal and re-envisioning modality of presentation, engagement and research.
