Marrero-Guillamón - The Militant city<b><br>
</b>Furtherfield Gallery, McKenzie Pavilion, Finsbury Park, London N4
2NQ<br>
<br>
The Olympic mega-event is akin to Rancière's 'order of the
police'. It regulates what is visible and invisible, sayable
and unsayable, thinkable and unthinkable; it distributes individuals
and groups in positions of ruler or ruled." Join Isaac
Marrero-Guillamón, researcher for The Militant City <u>
http://themilitantcity.wordpress.com/</u>, in a discussion and
workshop on exploring the role of art in relation to the Olympics, its
legal architecture, and its elevation to a 'state of exception'.
Bring projects, ideas, stories and prepare for battle over the control
of language, sign, transmission and public space.<br>

Kayle Brandon - The Witches and 3-Keys<b><br>
</b>Furtherfield Gallery, McKenzie Pavilion, Finsbury Park, London N4
2NQ<br>
<br>
Rachel Baker and Kayle Brandon jointly lead this day of prophecy,
prediction and mobilization strategies for mapping the Moving Forest
onto the London Olympics; tuning in the camouflaged branches to
the contemporary mood of economic chaos and revolt. <br>
<br>
Rachel Baker - Witches, Prophecy and Prediction<br>
<br>
The story of Macbeth began with a witches prophesy and ended in murder
and revolt. Did the witches predict a future already seen or did they
merely plant some well-placed psychological seeds to trigger a
self-fulfilling prophesy? In doing so were they able to influence
reality? What prior information did they need to have? Is it the
magical, spectral appearance of the witch that lends the prophesy its
power, or their insertion into everyday life? [what will
happen?- discussion, workshop?- what will be the
experience/outcome?]<br>
<br>
Kayle Brandon- 3-Keys<br>
<br>
The three witches' prophecy and their tools and techniques of
divination are deployed to make a card game called the 3-keys.
Illuminating insurgent mobilisation strategies, the game will map the
key relational powers within the Olympic game, matching/twinning them
with the essential Macbeth elemental and physical conditions.
Discussion will surround further oracle, divination tools and
techniques that enable one's actions to be fated or influenced by
these processes.<br>

<br>
This workshop is a taster to methodologies that merge ecological
design models of Permaculture with forms of creative resistance.
Permaculture mimics the patterns of living systems and applies them to
human designs, these whole system thinking tools will be applied to
strategies for developing creative actions. The workshop is suitable
for artists and activists of all sorts and with any kind of experience
and aims to give a feel of how it might be to "think like a
forest".</font><br>

Moving Forest strategy workshops<b><br>
</b>The workshops are in preparation for a performance of Moving
Forest, first presented at Transmediale.08 in Berlin, during London
Olympics 2012 by AKA the Castle in partnership with MA Interactive
Media & Centre for Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths, University of
London, Furtherfield, Space, MzTEK, Digital Programmes and Victoria
and Albert Museum.<br>
<br>
A 12 hour, five act, visual, sonic, digital, electronic and
urban performance collectively realized by AKA the Castle, a temporal
performance troupe bringing together visual artists, writers,
soundists, silk threaders, codedecoders, macromikro, boombox mass,
mobile agents, wifi fielders and urbanites. 12 hours of sonic, coded
action map an imaginary Castle and camouflage forest revolt onto a
given modern day metropolis.</font></div>
