In June we are aiming to have a round table, lounge on the floor, prop on a seat Saturday arvo discussion on the increasingly pervasive theme of 'NEW MATERIALISM'. It's been around for a while now, for writers, but increasingly for the vis arts and also performance. Check out Jussi Parikka for one take on the topic.http://jussiparikka.net/2010/06/23/what-is-new-materialism-opening-words-from-the-event/
Watch this space for more New Materialism docs and ideas, and updates on the event, which is sure to include artists exhibiting in the Sawtooth program this year.

Will try to touch base with you when you are in the "Gallery on Thursday"s
Thanks for the link (and for the other communication, too). The whole "vibrant matter" thing has so much potential for anyone who doesn't actually want to subject absolutely everything/one on the planet to their domination!
