The Office of Experiments has been commissioned by Jens Hauser to create a new experiment starting at FACT in Liverpoool in January 2008. 'Truth Serum'. OOE Advisor - Nicolas Langlitz has suppiled research material and written an essay for the Catalogue - The Office of Experiments and Truth Serum - The Psychopharmacology of Truthfulness. Published by John Moores and The University of Chicago. Project supported by FACT and Arts Catalyst. To take part, or visit, go to FACT website or follow links in left column.

The Office of Experiments will undertake a project initially developed as an invited response to an Imperial War Museum commission. It will now be developed and tested at the Centre for Land Use Interpretations' Wendover base in Utah , USA in 2007-8. The project will focus on the building of lightweight artist studios from recycled materials in areas described as; extreme, catastrophic, war torn, desolate or blighted. The project will take place at the 'remote location' (image), the first piece of land acquired by Robert Smithson and Nancy Holt in Utah, and near to spiral jetty and the sun tunnels. Wendover is an area known for its unique culture and landscape, as well as its use by the US military for testing weaponary and for training.

The project has been funded by The Henry Moore Foundation, and Centre for Land Use Interpretation [CLUI].

O+I - Between at South London Gallery with Critical Practice, Chelsea. April 21st 2007.

O+I - SLG

Frustrated by repeated attempts to get funding for O+I's Between event from Arts Council ( a 25 year struggle), my role of member of the board of O+I was extended for the day as 'the initiator' , and catalysing this event between O+I, South London Gallery and Critical Practice Research at Chelsea Colege of Art. The event dealt with ideas of 'value', and was achieved through purely voluntary contributions of time. Thanks to all involved, especially Critical Practice and Kit Hammonds at SLG who allowed us to utilise the space between the crates of the dismantled John Armleder exhibition.

O+I -Organisation and Imagination - formerly Artist Placement Group.

To the Arts Council of England:

FIVE DAYS, TWENTY HOURS, TEN MINUTES , TWENTY FOUR SECONDS.

UOA

This was the amount of time given freely to the event by persons at the Between (above) including speakers and audience alike between 2-7pm. We measured it using software designed for the occassion by Neal White and programmed by Jim Wood, operated by Simon an SLG invigilator. With no funding received, we decided it would be a good idea to record the units of attendance in order to generate a figure that aligns concepts of value with measurements of culture.

If you would like to use this software, we are happy to send it to you. It runs on a Mac and you can use it to measure attendance at your event or exhibition to satisfy funders.
