Development of Curatorial Guidelines for the Transart Residency Exhibition at London's Borough Road Gallery in July 2025. The Anthologies Assembly, London 2025, extends a call for proposals for a vibrant, student-guided convergence of research inquiry and creative exploration. Building upon the inaugural assembly, participants are encouraged to embrace "research-based creative practice" as a means of knowledge generation where diverse disciplines intersect and boundaries blur. We welcome proposals that illuminate PhD research, including nascent "works-in-progress," emphasizing the value of ongoing inquiry. Guided by student feedback expressing both a desire for grounding in practice and community as well as exceptional moments that inspire, we aim to create spaces for genuine encounters and shared learning, where participants leave with lasting impressions on research and creative endeavors that continue to spark curiosity throughout the year. Our curatorial framework centers on the concept of investigation, as both a rigorous pursuit and an introspective exploration. Drawing from its etymological roots, we conceive of investigation as a tracing towards something no longer present—a turning-towards truths hidden or lost in time; and a nuanced examination of practices, be they social, political, or personal.

Este projeto nasceu de um desconforto antigo, mas só encontrou forma quando o corpo — finalmente — começou a falar. Um corpo que, por anos, foi moldado pela obediência, pela culpa, pela contenção. Um corpo que serviu mais para agradar do que para existir. O Corpo que Nunca Foi não é apenas uma instalação visual. É uma travessia. Cada moldura carrega fragmentos de uma história interrompida, silenciada, violentada — mas que, ao ser contada, transforma-se em matéria de resistência. As peças não são ilustrações da dor. São gestos de enfrentamento. São corpos simbólicos criados a partir de camadas de memória, de experiências vividas, de feridas abertas e cicatrizes malformadas. Há nelas vestígios de abandono, de fuga, de abuso, de ausência de proteção. Mas há também outra coisa: o impulso de continuar. O espaço onde as obras habitam — um ambiente branco, forrado como uma câmara asséptica — não é um lugar de pureza. É o contrário: é o lugar onde tudo o que foi considerado “sujo”, “impróprio”, “mentira” ganha finalmente forma e voz. Neste quarto simbólico, o que antes era invisível torna-se presença. O projeto parte de histórias profundamente pessoais, mas oferece um espelho onde outras mulheres possam reconhecer as suas próprias trajetórias — sem medo, sem vergonha, sem a culpa herdada de séculos de silêncio. Aqui, a arte não quer consolar. Quer escancarar o que foi escondido, nomear o que foi abafado, e abrir espaço para outras existências possíveis. Mais do que um processo de cura, este projeto é um rito de insurgência contra os mecanismos que perpetuam a dor como destino. Aqui, a matéria ferida se ergue como discurso.

A person listening to Ludwig van Beethoven might think he is in a Jean-Luc Godard movie. An opponent of laws and canons. Beethoven sought to break the convention and laws of harmony. Johann Sebastian Bach, in contrast, never attempted to break the traditions.

The project began as a commitment to 30/30, an initiative offered by Artquest, where subscribing artists were required to upload a new artwork to a 30/30 dedicated platform on a daily basis though the month of February and into March, 2025. The response formatted as this exposition is variations of text, image, and video animation, archived as still-image iterations mostly sized at 21 x 29.5cm and hyperlinked videos of up to two-minutes’ running time. The works’ content wavers between anecdotal and academic/theoretical. (Artquest issued non-obligatory collective prompts at the start of each day, which is in this case sometimes either used.) Any texts from each iteration have been copied to a companion page and corrected, rephrased or explained. The iterations play with oscillation between text and image, where the look of text under these circumstances becomes more noticeable while retaining much of its readability. Theoretical reading during the project had been Isabelle Stengers's book on the philosopher A. N. Whitehead, which is variously referenced in the iterations. At the same time, the author’s recent interest in a question of adaptability of the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan's Logical Square to the question of the artistic research process is referenced. Given that the theories of these two authors do not in any obvious sense relate, their conflation in a sense holds their function in the iterations open to question, analogous to how one reflects on interests in and through one's visual practice. While the 30/30 structure required daily decision-making and action, any one iteration tended to be of consequence to the next, which afforded continuity of duration to the project.

Cognitive Architecture est un détour cognitif-psychanalytique autour des théories, hypothèses et des revendications cognitives d’économie mondiale, des idéologies, et des leurs conventions ou réfutations. Bien qu’il soit davantage rencontré dans les sciences humaines, la mode de structuration des événements, des happenings, est également un concept significatif dans les sciences cognitives. Les sciences cognitives conçoivent les fictions des realite faire des données du sens commun et postulats qui décident des problèmes dans leur conditionnement même. Sans doute apparaît-il d’emblée que les cadres dans lesquels les sciences humaines classent les phénomènes en sensations, perceptions, images, croyances, fonctions et travaillés logiques, jugements, etc., sont empruntés comme tels au travail de siècles de philosophie. Loin d’avoir été forgés pour une conception objective de la réalité humaine, ces cadres ne sont que les produits de la destruction abstraite où se tracent les vicissitudes d’un effort spécifique, qui pousse l’homme à chercher la confiance, la vérité, la conscience de soi et l’univers. Une confiance qui est transcendante dans sa position, et qui le reste donc dans la forme, même lorsque le philosophe en nie l'existence. Les tendances à une confiance absolue dans les explications naturalistes des phénomènes culturellement conditionnés exigent une un encadrer l'appropriation cognitive des concepts scientifiques d’économie mondiale. Dans les chapitres consécutives, ce livre critiques d'appropriations des concepts darwinienne dans les discours libérale détourne le darwinisme scientifique dans l’idée de s’appropriation moins avec ou aux technologies avancées que de les adapter aux valeurs idéologiques libérales croissantes qui elles- mêmes sont devenues plus autoritaires dans leurs règles non écrites d’entrepreneuriat, d’auto-évaluation et de développement individuel, particulièrement l’esprit humaine.
