When and how did the ‘The Journal for Art, Sex and Mathematics’ begin?
Nils Röller (NR): The three of us have been working on this project since 2006. We have been digitally exchanging ideas and using the web as a ‘production device’ to test our individual artworks, books and exhibitions. The web is often like a corporate laboratory—people don’t want others to see what they are doing. But we didn’t want that at all. Barbara Ellmerer (BE): Images are posted—I, for instance, make a water colour—and, often, other members in the group react immediately. We are constantly playing with each other’s works. Higgs-Boson in LoveNR: I would liken our project to a political think-tank. You could call our project an ‘image tank’. Every month we invite someone to come to our image tank. We are here in Delhi and currently have the painter Abir Karmakar and the poet Sampurna Chattarji, collaborating on the project. The group recently held an exhibition of the works at the Visual Arts Gallery, at the India Habitat Centre. Why? NR: We like to check the materiality of paper
