Advance Reconnaissance: International Necronautical Society (INS)
Sparwasser HQ, Offensive for Contemporary Art -
Berlin, DE Germany

Launched in 1999 in London with a bombastic Manifesto declaring that
death is a type of space, the International Necronautical Society (INS)
is a pseudo-bureaucratic organisation that, appropriating and
re-purposing both Soviet and corporate systems and the defunct
structures of early twentieth century avant-gardes, operates in what
INS General Secretary Tom McCarthy has called the ‘mediasphere’.
Interventions to date have included the re-enactment in a Dutch wind
tunnel of a Mafia shootout (2001), public Committee Hearings into
Transmission, Death and Technology (2002), the infiltration of the BBC
website (2003) and the setting up of a Broadcasting Unit at London’s
ICA (2004). This last project, which involved world maps and more than
fifty agents in an elaborate text and data processing set-up, merged
scenes from Jean Cocteau's 1950 film Orphee with William Burroughs's
world of control rooms to produce a constant stream of cut-up, lyrical,
crackling propaganda which was transmitted on FM radio in the London
area and via the internet to collaborating stations in Europe and
America. Read Indepth Article

Tullie House Museum and Art Services -
Carlisle, UK United Kingdom

Stranger than Fiction, an exhibition of photographs, video and film by

the work reveals an exotic world in which truth is often more curious than
fiction, and fiction can be powerfully enhanced by fact. Internationally
acclaimed artists Richard Billingham, Zarina Bhimji, Tracey Emin, Isaac
Julien, Zineb Sedira, Gavin Turk and Jane and Louise Wilson are among the
exhibitors in this major touring exhibition,. Read Indepth Article
