Caroline Pekle, researcher in the Fine Art department, has installed a new work in the JVE hallways. Pekle was fascinated by the mood of an old photograph, a black-and-white picture showing a woman standing by a riverside. Her exploration into the image has led to Reflections, an installation containing the image itself, a landscape picture by the artist herself, a light box subtly referring to the images and a table garden. Reflections will be on show until the end of the year. Visitors are welcome to come and take a look at the installation.
Although the third issue of S, the open-access journal of the Jan van Eyck Circle for Lacanian ideology Critique (CLiC), has not been released yet, the editors have published a call for papers for the fourth issue. The Resistance of Topology will explore the function of topology in Lacan’s work and in its afterlife with reference to some of its early practitioners. S invites submissions that respond to the question what, if anything, topology has to do with psychoanalysis, read broadly. Guest editor will be Benjamin Bishop. more info
