We are surrounded by elasticity - be it in the shape of our skin, the price elasticity on the stock exchange that plays havoc with our spending power, or a piano string that stays in tune for as long as its tension remains constant. People tend to be amazingly resilient in the face of adversity: somehow we manage to pick ourselves up by the hem of our lives and bounce back. Or take something as ostensibly simple as the elastic band: it makes a perfect sling and keeps post packages together. 'Treats on Elasticity' was an evening of talks and performances examining elasticity in an unexpected and exploratory way, stimulating intellectual thought. Held at Wellcome Collection, it was moderated and produced by Hester Aardse and Astrid van Baalen from the PARS Foundation, Amsterdam www.parsfoundation.com For more information see http
