Publications

Now Available: Leonardo 42:1
Lanfranco Aceti shows art's power to counter the official histories  
of war and allow the reconciliation of the irreconcilable; Dawn  
Whitehand's sculpture and installations draw on patterns from the  
cosmic to the subconscious; in performance, installations and film,  
Phillip Warnell considers the body as both place and subject, with  
the help of bioenergy, animal magnetism and a little X-ray vision;  
Ann Elias compares the strategies and anxieties of two early  
champions of concealment, in their U.S. and Australian environments.  
All this and more in the current issue of Leonardo. FIND OUT MORE

LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial
Renews Affiliate Membership
LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial was created in 2007 as  
an interdisciplinary space intended to foster artistic exchange and  
promote relations between society, art, science, technology and  
creative industries. It is, further, a center for research, training  
and artistic and technical production, as well as for the public  
exhibition of new forms of art and industrial creation. LABoral arose  
as a response to the need in Spain for a space dedicated to artistic  
experimentation. The group is also involved in the development of  
emerging activity by creators who make use of new tools offered by  
current Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Leonardo/ 
ISAST welcomes LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial as a  
returning Affiliate Member. FIND OUT MORE
