Edmund de Waal is a potter. His pots, plates, and vessels are the result of craft and mastership, but they are also so much more than that: they are experiments in form and function, abstractions of thoughts on silence and space, on repetition and failure, on substance and fragility, on memory contained.

Thinking about it takes a reprint of Alfred North Whitehead’s “Objects & Subjects” as the point of departure for five essays and an artist contribution by Audrey Cottin. It is a delicate, pocket-sized book that travels easily and is meant to stimulate free-form contemplation over hard analysis. There are two main questions the readers can bring to the book: they can wonder about new potentials and needs for thinking about subject-object relations in art, or they can ask what it is that sets artistic thinking apart from other types of cognitive engagements with the world.
Seven contributors bring six perspectives: Janine Armin pauses on how thinking in art may transpose the self; Brian G. Henning analyzes Whitehead’s proposition; Larissa Harris and Ajay Kurian talk about ontological turns; Jonas Zakaitis tries out a spam stream of consciousness; and Sarah Demeuse & Manuela Moscoso envision contemporary artistic thinking as a shifting, untimely grid; Audrey Cottin shares visual research materials from her ongoing project, O.perating T.heatre.

A runner will speed through Tate Britain’s dramatic neo-classical sculpture galleries, again and again, running as if their life depended on it, every day for the next four months. The tightly choreographed live performance Work No. 850 has been specially devised by Martin Creed for the Tate Britain Duveens Commission 2008 sponsored by Sotheby’s. Work No. 850 centres on a simple idea: that a person will sprint as fast as they can every 30 seconds through the 86 metre gallery at the heart of Tate Britain. Each run is followed by an equivalent pause, like a musical rest, during which the gallery is empty.
