Artist's Statement
Les Joynes is a graduate of Goldsmiths College, London and visiting scholar in contemporary art Columbia University, New York 2008-10. He is researching the intersection of creative process and evenement. His performance Form Laboratory is currently on exhibition at Treignac Projet, Limousin, France (http://www.treignacprojet.org/shows/les/lesJoynes.html).
Form Laboratory is a trans-global site of process that defines itself in the locations it appropriates – transforming and mutating objects that have fallen and then re-birthing them with narratives. Launched in New York in 2009, it explores different sites (Singapore, New York and future sites being prepared for Taipei, London, Beijing) creating an encyclopaedia of ontological investigations, especially narratives that have faded into a realm of the unindividuated– Form Laboratory investigates the locus and site of individuation across different cultures.
