The Uberficiation of the University
BY MARK CARRIGAN ON NOVEMBER 22, 2016
A fascinating short book by Gary Hall, available open access at the Coventry University repository:
The Sharing Economy
Platform Capitalism
Uber.edu
The Reputation Economy
The Microentrepreneur of the Self
The Para-academic
The Artrepreneur
Affirmative Disruption
The unfolded garment and other spatial concepts
The Unfolded Garment
Embracing Subjectivity
Pierced Assemblage on Photogram
Espace-Milieu, Winchester Cathedral.
Painting evolved from Space for Peace, Winchester Cathedral. Site drawing from architectural plan and documentation of people moving within the event.

What is Philosophy?
Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari
Their book is a profound and careful interrogation of what it might mean to be a 'friend of wisdom', but it is also a devastating attack on the sterility of what has become, when 'the only events are exhibitions and the only concepts are products which can be sold'. Philosophy, they insist, is not contemplation, reflection or communication, but the creation of concepts

Aesthetics and the Spatial : Sensual Things of Light and Gravity
Immaterial Architectures
Painting/Form for Reading Spaces/Intervals
Pattern and Chaos/Liminality/Tectonics
Architectural surface for a Library, raw materials, light, silence and solitude.
Christopher Wilmarth ; Poetics/Duality of Light and gravity
Other Architecture
Constructing Metaphysical Space
Wilmarth's art reveals his essential concern with the mystical and physical properties of light, especially the ways in which light evokes reverie and generates sensations of space and containment.
The Architecture of Natural Light : Henry Plummer
EVANESCENCE
Orchestration of light to mutate through time
Intensity and integrity of Wilmarth's practice/vision.
PROCESSION
Choreography of light/moving eye
VEILS OF GLASS
Refraction of light/diaphanous film
Wilmarth made possibly his strongest, most beautiful works on paper, exploring a new level of expression while retaining continuity with past work.
ATOMIZATION
Sifting of light/through a porous screen
These drawings also contain allusions to the human presence. Their haunting, foreboding quality is prefigured in the grave, austere tones of some of the glass and steel structures.
CANALIZATION
Channelling of light/through a hollow mass
The duality of light and shadow and contrasts between abstraction and representation continue to be central concerns in his final drawings.
ATMOSPHERIC SILENCE
Suffusion of light with a unified mood
Wilmarth's sculptures from the early 1980's are influenced by the poetry of Stephane Mallarme.To affirm Mallarme's emphasis on the spiritual, the artist used a simple ovoid form, evoking a multitude of symbols, including the human head. These ovoids were made of blown glass, which Wilmarth viewed as "frozen breath". The artist pursued this figurative impulse into the mid 1980s, combining the anthropomorphic ovoid shapes with the larger abstract forms of his earlier sculpture.
LUMINESCENCE
Materialization of light in physical matter
Wilmarth composed with planes of delicate colour and light, placing plates of blackened steel behind translucent sheets of etched glass imbued with a luminous, greenish cast.
"He employed a painterly technique that emphasized the tactility and fichness of his materials, which like an alchemist he persistently sought to transform. He continually examined the concept of duality: contrasts between light and shadow, transparency and opacity, heaviness and weightlessness, materiality and ethereality, form and spirit are repeatedly presented; the synthesis of geometric with organic forms, the range between abstraction and representation are constantly explored."
