I recently gave a talk at the TED Global 2011 Conference
in Edinburgh, United Kingdom – July 11- 15, 2011, as part
of my TED Global Fellowship (www.ted.com/talks/nathalie_miebach.html)
Until March 4, Seeing /Knowing and
Notations: Envisioning New Sound
Graham Gund Gallery, Kenyon College, Gambier, OH http://gundgallery.com/ Seeing/Knowing features 15 internationally renowned award-winning
artists working at the intersection of information and image exchange.
Their provocative works vary from formal investigations to illustrations
of data, expressed through a range of media, from painting to
viewer-responsive interactive digital forms.
Artists: Diana Cooper, Andreas Nicolas Fischer & Benjamin
Maus, Michael Joaquin Grey, Eduardo Kac, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer,
Benjamin Maus & Julius von Bismarck, Emma McNally, Julie Mehretu,
Nathalie Miebach, C.E.B. Reas, Matthew Ritchie, Camille Utterback,
Jorinde Voigt, and Marius Watz
Notations: Envisioning New Sound explores
new breakthroughs in the visualization of written music, and the
diverse ways the musical score can be transformed. Inspired by
avant-garde composer John Cage and his 1969 book Notations, Theresa
Sauer has collected music notation excerpts from more than 150
contemporary composers around the world. Approximately twenty-five
original scores will be exhibited in this small exhibition. These
works challenge us to rethink how sight embodies meaning and how
meaning is expressed as sound.

“Sculptural Weaving”
Course Description: This course teaches various three-dimensional
weaving techniques to be applied towards sculptural purposes.
Based on weaving traditions that go back thousands of years, students
learn the fundamentals of basic basket weaving techniques: twining,
plaiting, random weave, and coiling. Through the use of traditional
and non-traditional materials, students learn to use these techniques
as a springboard to adapt, integrate, and explore their own sculptural
interests and material choices. Every technique being taught is
complemented by slide lectures and discussions examining the adaptations
and significance of weaves in contemporary and traditional cultures.
