Share this announcement on: Facebook| Delicious| Digg| Twitter| Toronto artist/architect Adrian Blackwell presents a new instance of *Model for a Public Space*. Staged in the Reading Room, a students? social space located in Hart House at the University of Toronto, Blackwell?s project is concerned with the inevitably knotted nature of public discourses. They intertwine, affect, antagonize, fold over themselves, and flee in different directions. *Model for a Public Space [knot]* is a seating formation which reflects this structure of discourse in its physical arrangement. *MPS [knot]* is part of an international conference exploring the relationship between art and education, titled *Extra-curricular: Between Art & Pedagogy*. It will function as the site for a series of scheduled events and may be booked by any group interested in engaging in focused and non-hierarchical discussion. *Special Programming for MPS [knot]* Two conversations about love and politics in relation to contemporary art practices will be organized by Christine Shaw and Adrian Blackwell. 1. "*Love is a force that acts as the productive motor of every emancipatory politics.*" Thursday, March 18, 2010, 7:00 pm 2. "*Love is an event ignited by the distance between two polarities*." Thursday, March 25, 2010, 7:00 pm *Adrian Blackwell* is a visual artist and architectural and urban designer whose work has been exhibited at artist-run centres and museums across Canada. He is a member of the Toronto School of Creativity and Inquiry and the editorial collective of the journal *SCAPEGOAT: Architecture, Landscape and Political Economy*. In 2009 he collaborated with Jane Hutton to design and build *Dymaxion Sleep* for the International Garden Festival in Metis, Quebec. He teaches architecture and urban design at the University of Toronto. *Extra-curricular: Part II: ?Beyond Institutions? Model for a Public Space (knot)* takes place in the context of a curatorial project and international conference exploring the relationship between art, education, research, and activism. Titled *Extra-curricular: Between Art & Pedagogy*, its second phase *"Beyond Institutions"* (March 8?13, 2010) will be accompanied by installations, workshops, and residencies with international artists, collectives, educators, and activists. The Justina M. Barnicke Gallery?s International Artist-in-Residence, Annette Krauss (Utrecht, Netherlands), will present the keynote lecture. Collaborating organizations include Gallery TPW (Toronto), REV-, and Toronto Free Gallery. The conference features representatives from collectives who initiate creative pedagogical models and tools in their work including the Center for Urban Pedagogy (NYC), colourschool (Vancouver), Dodolab (Waterloo, Canada), La Lleca (Mexico City), Radical Education Research Collective (RERC) (Toronto), The Pinky Show (Honolulu, Hawaii), Toronto School of Creativity and Inquiry, and Ultra-Red (London, UK). *Events Schedule at a glance:* Mon.

It will be an attempt to conduct an archaeological study of the Polish public sphere, its specific cultural, political and discursive context. It is necessary to engage into radical and dialectic dialog with the Eurocentric notion of the public sphere, to pose the question about how public life organizes itself outside of the historical experience of core capitalist countries.

Museums are being built, and new institutions, public as well as private, are emerging. Some artists' names have become household words, and their practice?previously ignored or misinterpreted?benefits from a wider understanding and acceptance. The fact that the most central tract of land in the Polish capital will soon see the construction of the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw speaks for itself. The exhibition *EARLY YEARS* at KW Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin wanders through the fields of institutional self-reflection. It searches for terms apt to describe the emergence of a museum of art in the present, of actual artistic, political and social discourses. A museum established amid the collapse of meta-narratives, aware of the institutional critique which had made the museum's hegemonic nature a subject of dispute for decades, and, finally, familiar with the realities of the economic crisis?such a museum must rely not only on long-term strategic planning, but also contend with the moods, uncertainties and intuitions of the moment. The "early years" of the title usually describe that unique moment of an artistic biography when one remains naive and is only starting to learn from one's own errors, but is at the same time at the height of one's authenticity, independence and heroism. The show is based on the concept of moving slightly into the future and using that futurist perspective to look back to the time of the great beginning, in a search for a history fitting for a founding myth. For this exhibition the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw sought out the collaboration of artists with whom it had previously worked in its pioneering days. The museum shared its concerns with the group, and they reciprocated by sharing their expectations of the new institution. The final product is a show that invites the viewer to scrutinize in retrospection the moment when everything is still possible, that moment of tense balance between hope and disillusionment, between engagement and compromise. This is the real protagonist of the show. *EARLY YEARS* is part of the project "The Promised City", a cultural initiative between Berlin and Warsaw with performances in Mumbai and Bucharest. Artists, curators and academics from Germany, Poland, India, and Romania have developed various new creative productions, all of which are interdisciplinary and revolve around subjects of the dreams, illusions, and promises of modern metropolises.
