Cluster is a sporadic, ongoing project organized by artist Katie Holten. The first Cluster took place in Bowes Pub, Dublin in September 2002.

It is no coincidence that Cluster resembles the refuge of a ramshackle community, and you could say that it’s an excuse for a party. There’s a chance Chloe Piene will perform at the opening. There will be a local broadcast of Gary Phelan’s BLACK BRAIN RADIO. Greg Smith will construct a tiny sculpture that will ‘live’ in an interior corner of the box.

Cluster will scale from the minute to the infinite: Yale astrophysicist Priya Natarajan will include images of ‘real’ clusters that present dark matter. Environmental issues will be questioned directly and obliquely, in works such as Elizabeth Kolbert’s text ‘The Climate of Man’ and Joe Scanlan’s Ikon Earth. A number of other pieces will employ the book form, including Clémentine Deliss’s Metronome Press and William J. O’Brien’s zines. Other contributions will document collaborative projects currently taking place in other cities, such as Fritz Haeg’s Edible Estates, PLATFORM’s activites in London, and My Barbarian’s performances in Los Angeles and elsewhere.
