Rachel Sussman
My work is landscape-based, rooted in a subtle exploration of humanity’s complex relationship with nature and, by extension, with itself. I employ formal devices such as restricted color palates, careful consideration of the tensions between grounds and selective use of line and shape to further the dialog between aesthetics, content, and form. What results in the work is my own unique visual system, imbued with cultural, natural, and scientific context from my travels all over the world

Crop Trust
The world's seed collections are vulnerable to a wide range of threats - civil strife, war, natural catastrophes, and more routinely but no less damagingly, poor management, lack of adequate funding, and equipment failures. Unique varieties of our most important crops are lost whenever any such disaster strikes, and therefore securing duplicates of all collections in a global facility provides an insurance policy for the world’s food supply.

We offer a range of activities centred on exposing creative artists to the enormous challenges of climate change; at the heart of this lies a series of meetings involving very high quality, intense dialogue between artists, scientists and others close to the heart of the issue.

Sophie Krier
Sophie Krier was born in 1976 in Halle, Belgium and has the Luxemburgish nationality . She lives and works in Rotterdam since her graduation from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 1999. Her work field is situated in the periphery of the design profession and includes activities such as teaching, writing, collecting, editing, experimenting. Her work is process-oriented and always attempts to investigate the space (for innovation, playfulness, reflection) within a given assignment. The work is therefore often described as editorial. At the core of each concept is the wish to generate meaningful relationships between message, context, and receivers.

Their work, which has been exhibited widely in major international spaces and events, locates them squarely along the intersections of contemporary art, historical enquiry, philosophical speculation, research and theory - often taking the form of installations, online and offline media objects, performances and encounters. They live and work in Delhi, based at Sarai, Centre for the Study of Developing Societies, an initiative they co-founded in 2000. They are members of the editorial collective of the Sarai Reader series.

Mark Lythgoe
This site documents some of the Science/Art and science centre projects I have worked on since 1994. The Sci/Art projects aim to create new and experimental work (film, sculpture, installation etc) that might not develop without such collaborations. The science centre projects include installations at the Bristol and Birmingham science museums which encourage the public understanding of science (images of the mind).
