Necrology
No full textSharples’ curatorial project NECROLOGY, functioned as both exhibition and practice-led study—a speculative site of mourning offering an interface with absences, transitions, rituals, suspensions, shrines, and exhumations. The exhibition speculated on material afterlives, ecological grief, and the economies and systems of death(care) and loss. Together, the showing artists’ works and Sharples invited the public to meditate on our collective necrological matters, providing intersectional readings of the subject. The exhibition was accompanied by a small text-based publication providing specific, accessible, insights to each artist’s contribution.
As part of the exhibition, Sharples also invited haptonomic professional Roselie Bak to facilitate Becoming Soil—a participatory workshop situated between the exhibition space and the burial grounds of St Mary’s in Wirksworth.
In the gallery, Hubble and Elves presented ceramic receptacles of ecological ruin and ceremonial remembrance. Lavorato’s sculpture was shaped through practices of care and autopsical interventions (holding, cutting, bandaging), associated with illness and a surgically transformed body. Hutchinson examined the pristine commodification of the funeral industry, while Bolland mapped judicial deathscapes honouring ‘pathologised subjects’ in the wake of systemic violence. Dawson’s roadside shrine and Lawrence’s engraved frieze commemorated the urban transience of people and places that often go unacknowledged. R. Brown’s sine-wave drawings and Bowler’s carved gravestone signified the permanence and erasure of queer and trans archives. Howard considered how photography and marble, as materials of immortality, attempt to overcome death. The surface inversions of J. Brown and Sharples held onto negative space, embalming the absence–presence of form. And Robinson’s poem and Bak’s workshop recognised our permeability and continual becoming with the more-than-human: we have always been of earth.
Guided by New Materialist thought and developed in collaboration with the New Materialist Reading/Research Group (NMRG) and Playing Fields – two artist-led curatorial initiatives – NECROLOGY foregrounds the curatorial as a method of critical analysis and ontological mediation. Calling on Rosi Braidotti’s articulation of an affirmative ethics of mourning, Sharples cultivates a space in which death and loss are recognised as generative, and in a continual process of becoming. Rather than a static presentation of objects, NECROLOGY unfolds as a field of relational intensities, where curatorial practice closes the space between academic discourse and embodied artistic processes.

Reply to Prof. Sharples
No full textBibliothèque du Centre de Recherche Philologique, Lille. Prof. Sharples is perfectly right that there is very much to say about the Sea Battle problem. I would like only to add that Łukasiewicz refers to De Interpretatione and the Sea Battle Problem several times. He does it (a) in «On Determinism» (the Rector speech in 1922), published in Polish in 1961, Eng. tr. by Z. Jordan in S. MacCall (ed.), Polish Logic, Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1967, p. 19-39 and in J. Łukasiewicz, Selected Works, Ams..

S2P3-R (v1.0): a framework for efficient regional modelling of physical and biological structures and processes in shelf seas
Get PDFAn established one-dimensional (1-D) model of Shelf Sea Physics and Primary Production (S2P3) is adapted for flexible use in selected regional settings over selected periods of time. This Regional adaptation of S2P3, the S2P3-R framework (v1.0), can be efficiently used to investigate physical and biological phenomena in shelf seas that are strongly controlled by vertical processes. These include spring blooms that follow the onset of stratification, tidal mixing fronts that seasonally develop at boundaries between mixed and stratified water, and sub-surface chlorophyll maxima that persist throughout summer. While not representing 3-D processes, S2P3-R reveals the horizontal variation of the key 1-D (vertical) processes. S2P3-R should therefore only be used in regions where horizontal processes – including mean flows, eddy fluxes and internal tides – are known to exert a weak influence in comparison with vertical processes. In such cases, S2P3-R may be used as a highly versatile research tool, alongside more complex and computationally expensive models. In undergraduate oceanography modules and research projects, the model serves as an effective practical tool for linking theory and field observations. Three different regional configurations of S2P3-R are described, illustrating a range of diagnostics, evaluated where practical with observations. The model can be forced with daily meteorological variables for any selected year in the reanalysis era (1948 onwards). Example simulations illustrate the considerable extent of synoptic-to-interannual variability in the physics and biology of shelf seas. In discussion, the present limitations of S2P3-R are emphasised, and future developments are outlined
