Ruth Scott: 16th- 20th November
Georgie Park: 23rd -27th November
The Heuristics Laboratory is an analogy for an idealised learning environment that is open to play, experimentation and reflection. In their first public project the three members of The Heuristics Laboratory will have a week each to explore their respective learning activities - analysing and exposing different modes of problem solving: persistence, intuition or trial and error.
Pete McPartlan's project Telecine will attempt to dismantle the process by which film is converted to video, creating an experimental and counter intuitive post-production laboratory.
Line Walk by Ruth Scott will be an exploration of balance and imbalance through learning to walk on a slack-line.
Georgie Park is exploring her connection to the domestic environment by learning the traditional craft of wood turning.
The exhibitions will display the work in-progress, documenting genuine experiments as the artists challenge their ability to learn new skills. The exhibition will run from the 9th to the 27th November at The Malt Cross Gallery, St James' Street and will close with an event on the 2nd December with an opportunity to see the results of the experiments through live events and screenings and the launch of Lab Notes - a publication charting their results.
