Jane Grant; Suspension (1998). Double projection, video-tape, silent, looped.

We are thrilled to announce that ECCENTRIC Art & Research now represents the work of Jane Grant.

Jane Grant is an artist and writer. Her work explores ideas in art and science, specifically astrophysics, neuroscience and the history of scientific ideas.
Her sonic artwork Ghost was premiered at ISEA Istanbul, this work explored the temporal, topological networks and pathways of the cortex in conjunction with brain hallucination or ‘neural ghosts.’ Jane sometimes works collaboratively creating award winning works such as The Fragmented Orchestra, a vast sonic artwork based on neuronal firing patterns in the brain, which won the PRSF Award for New Music and an Honorary Mention at Prix Ars and Plasticity which was premiered at the BFI, onedotzero festival and Google Campus, London. She recently created Fathom, a huge artwork that sonically immersed participants in an underwater sound environment by creating a sonic surface 6ft above the floor.
Jane is currently working on a triptych of artworks, Other Worlds, One Hundred Million Ghosts and How to Disappear Completely, which are about longing, black holes and the multiverse.
Jane writes about noise, the mutability of matter, desire and astrophysics. She is Associate Professor (Reader) in Digital Arts at Plymouth University where she is co-director of the research group Art and Sound and Principle Supervisor in the Planetary Collegium, CAiiA-Node.

About Suspension (1998):

‘Suspension traces the endeavors of technological progress; somber reflections on the hopeless attempt to defy gravity, to lift off, to take flight from the human inevitable. This looped work is given continuity through repetition, the suspension or extension of an instant. The work avoids preludes and outcomes, hovering in the midst of an event-less presence like lost, found or isolated film footage’.

Emma Posey (1998) in the exhibition catalogue Still, Jane Grant, published by Chapter, Wales.

To all participants and guests of the exhibition Naturalia et artificialia
A tutti i partecipanti e invitati alla mostra Naturalia et artificialia

ITALIANO
Siete pregati di usare con insolita frequenza la parola “appunto”, abituandovi a pronunciarla in modo eccessivo, appunto, nei giorni prima dell’inaugurazione e cercando – appunto – di farla diventare un vero e proprio tic. Appunto all’inaugurazione, avrete la possibilità di dimostrare i risultati di quest’allenamento, e di condividere – appunto – le vostre esperienze. Suggeriamo a tutti di mettere un post-it con la parola “APPUNTO” sulla propria scrivania o in altro luogo ben visibile in casa. Grazie, appunto!

ENGLISH

We would like to ask you to use the word “exactly” as often as possible in the next few days, exactly before the opening of the exhibition. Train yourself as exactly as possible to overuse this word until it becomes a meaningless verbal tic, exactly a very bad habit, exactly like the word “like,” for example. At the opening you can show off exactly how well you have trained yourself, and share your experiences exactly with others. English speakers have a special option in this exercise: you can choose between “exactly,” “precisely,” “definitely” and “absolutely.” Choose the word that comes most “naturally” and make it come all too naturally, as a matter of habit – precisely! We suggest putting a post-it with your exactly selected word on the edge of your computer, or in an exactly and constantly visible place in your home. Thanks! Absolutely!
