Features 82  Science Editor  May – June 2005  Vol 28  No 3 Claudia Clark “Secret societies.” These words may call to mind two recent bestsellers, The DaVinci Code1 and Angels and Demons.2 These books tell the stories of ancient societies, shrouded in mystery, that used mathemat- ics to protect themselves and their beliefs. Look into the more recent past, and you'll find another secret society, but a very dif- ferent one.

Artist-Run Space (n.)
Artist-run spaces ft all kinds of models. They are testing grounds and springboards to the
commercial art world, intimate gatherings in apartments, and places for reading groups
and shared meals. They are little pockets of activity that serve particular audiences
at particular times, flling gaps and holes for all that the art-world fails to pr ovide.
Sometimes they are meant to be temporary, and other times they can grow to become
professionalized institutions that a later generation of artists defne themselves against.
