‘"n-1' is simply about my ex ex exp exp ex ex ex expr expr ex ex ex ex ex [pause] ex ex ex exp expri me nta t ion of L I F E."

London-based interdisciplinary artist/director Li-E Chen will talk about her artistic project as it reaches its final stage: the 2015-2017 experimental site-specific art project, 'n-1'. She will relate it to some of the key figures that have inspired its artistic development, including Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, Tehching Hsieh, Improbable Theatre Company's Open Space: Devoted and Disgruntled, John Cage, Robert Wilson, Samuel Beckett and Ludwig Wittgenstein.
 
Throughout the talk, she will aslo present some of the project’s digital and participatory experiments. ‘n-1’ involves Li-E Chen's visits to 168 locations set out as numbers on a Google map of Greater London, using the city as a stage and open space for the execution of her experiments. The numbers are associated with the 524 propositions of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s ‘Tractatus Logico Philosophicus’, whose account of logical structure and the limits of language inspired the project.
 
Chen’s work investigates the condition of 'nothingness', and draws on the notion of silence and on non-representational forms of expression. This project develops further her ideas about 'thinking posture', a term she uses for the disposition of mind and body that affects one's ways of living, thinking, and artistic making.
