  The Lost Meeting

The Lost Meeting, curated by Julie Courtney, takes place in Little Abington Meeting, an abandoned Quaker meetinghouse built in 1836 that lies within the Sculpture Park of Abington Art Center in Alverthorpe Park, Jenkintown, PA.

The Lost Meeting was an abandoned Quaker Meetinghouse that is now being transformed into a temporary research studio/workshop for rethinking the role of pattern making in relation to the everyday and its mediators. Mediation is a part of our everyday life and it occurs everywhere and between us it is what allows us to be part of a world. Inspired by vernacular Quaker life this research studio will make use of historical domestic Quaker objects/mediators such as clothing, furniture, childrens toys etc. The studio will transform these objects into new types of patterns and things that allow us to begin to what is our relation to the everyday. The studio itself becomes a form of ambassador of difference that travels in between and across a terrain that involves the Quakers, other histories and events. Complementing this multi-layered installation will be music from avant-garde and American Music Award-winning classical composer David Lang.
