Hi
My documentary about deep topographer Nick Papadimitriou and the edgelands he
venerates, the London Perambulator, is now finished and will be screening as
part of the East End Film Festival at the Whitechapel Gallery Wed 29th April at
7pm. After the screening I'll be doing a panel discussion Will Self, Iain
Sinclair, Andrea Philips - although I'll probably end up just listening to those
three.

As well as footage from walks I've done with Nick over the past year the film
features fantastic interviews with Russell Brand, Will Self and Iain Sinclair.

The film has also been nominated for the International Film Guide Inspiration
award for Best Documentary Feature.
There's some more info about the film and the panel here - hope you can make it

Dear All,

I am doing a little zine and wanted to include a piece on
psychogeography, especially of the British variety. I was wondering if
anyone reading either has written or would be willing to write me a
few hundred words briefly explaining the term and talking about some
of their own experiences. I can pay in copies--if you supply a list of
people you want to receive copies, I can send them directly. So far I
have some good poetry, a longish manifesto on "the new Imagism" in
poetry by a group in California, beautiful photography--I am
interested also in personal memoir, interviews, travel writing, food
writing, and music or film writing. I would sincerely appreciate the
contributions and would only reject for this issue if I run out of
space.

My email is donthepoet@...

thanks,
Don

Yes, its a possibility John. Let me get back to you on that. I may be working. Love Queen Victoria Street - something proto-arterial about it. Then the city towering up in its density. Saw a memorial stone to two guys at the foot of an office block. I think it said they died in an accident. Were they window cleaners, their cradle plummeting, the whip of the loosened cable, to hit the ground on a tawdry tuesday afternoon. Or did I imagine the whole thing. I knew somehow QVS was the Clunn you'd choose to "do" and would prefer to come along.

Dear All,

Anyone up for a wander through the City on Friday evening (11th Aug) say about 7.30/8pm? I propose meeting outside The Black Friar and then heading up Queen Victoria Street, keeping it vague and unplanned allowing ourselves to explore the alleys and oddities that the City has to offer in abundance. (see my blog for one recent example http://islingtongue.blogspot.com).

An alternative date could be Monday 14th August around the same time or slightly earlier (note how I'm gearing this around my NFT shifts). Please do a 'Reply All' so we can do some sort of co-ordination between our merry little band of crypto-topographers/ born-again flaneurs/ vagrants.......

PS Have to confess nicking the line 'Doing a Clunn' from Nick - as ever the source of a choice phrase to fit the occassion.

Yeah, it's quite clever the way that they've taken ideas that have been kicking around for a while, like overlaying a map of Paris on a map of London, and making it seem fresh somehow. There's actually nothing new in any of their work. That's all down to the presentation.

Hi All,

I just popped in to the ICA to get a ticket for 'What Have you Done Today Mervyn Day? (a film about the Lower Lea Valley), and saw a couple of other events that may be of interest. The pick is probably Rebecca Solnit's talk on the philosophy of walking.

Incidently the ICA Bookshop has two shelves marked 'PSYCH-GEO' full of interesting stuff (note to Cathy: do we still have a budget for books?).

 

Oh...I'm going to see Mervyn Day on the 9th June if anyone wants to join me.

Here's some details of the other stuff:

 

New Series: The Philosophy of the Overlooked. Part 1: Walking

Talks:
Mon 19 Jun 2006. 

A new series celebrating the continued relevance of phenomenology, a philosophy aimed at making explicit structures of lived experience and modes of human existence in the world: those things that are encountered every day without thought, those actions that are repeated automatically.

 

Dust, breathing, hesitation, walls, accents and spit count among what Michel Serres would call quasi-objects, at once objects that exist in the world and markers of subjectivity.  Tonight’s speaker: Rebecca Solnit, author of the bestselling Wanderlust: A History of Walking, (out in June) who will discuss the fascinating but often-overlooked significance of the first human mode of transport.

Venue(s) : Nash Room.

Mon 19 Jun	19:00 Nash Room

Full Price : £8.
Concession : £7.
ICA Members : £6.

A continuation of Kelly and Saint Etienne’s deep-seated fascination with the city of London, its inhabitants and buildings.

Set in the vast, mysterious pylon-covered wasteland that is the Lower Lea Valley, East London, on the eve of the Olympic redevelopment.  David Essex, who features on the band’s critically acclaimed latest album, Tales From Turnpike House narrates alongside Linda Robson, with accompanying musical score by Saint Etienne. 
Dir: Paul Kelly, UK, 2005, 57 mins
Screening with Today’s Special (Paul Kelly, UK, 2004, 3 mins) capturing London’s fast-disappearing ‘caffs’.

Film:
Sat 03 Jun 2006. 

Continuing onedotzero’s exploration of the city, this session presents exclusive new work-in-progress from forthcoming onedotzero live narrative audiovisual commission, ‘Four Points of Coincidence’.

It has been created by acclaimed director Kieran Evans (co-director Finisterre) with musical collaborator, Argentinian producer Gustavo Lamas (Trauma / Kompakt). The project is centred upon both collective and individual narratives of the city and London, and will present new ways of experiencing filmic narrative within a live context. Evans and Lamas will be joined by audio-visual experimentalist, Scanner, and Daily Telegraph Film Editor Sukhdev Sandhu, who will present works from their collaborative ArtAngel project Nighthaunts.
180 minutes approx with break

Showing as part of a series of sessions which explore the future of work, gaming and entertainment platforms, offering unparalleled access to key speakers, creators and innovators. Continuing onedotzero’s commitment to demystifying the creative process.

SPECIAL EVENT: The Psychoacoustic Geographers

Film:
Dates between Tue 13 Jun - Wed 14 Jun 2006. 

Emotional exiles from the Land of Opportunity, experimental filmmakers Ben Russell and Jonathan Schwartz come to the ICA on the last leg of their European tour – equipped with 16mm films, vocal distortion effects and optical soundtracks, these kindred spirits engage in a kino-cartography of the audiovisual contract.

Through a combination of psychedelic cinema, mash-up animations, mask ceremonies (with live sound!), and pinhole lenses these intrepid explorers map out a new world of Image and Sound where vision travels in waveforms and audio flickers like explosions in the night.  Ben Russell is a Providence, RI-based filmmaker who runs a microcimena called Magic Lantern (www.magiclanterncinema.com), has screened as far afield as Tokyo, Belgrade, Rotterdam, and Iowa City, and recently completed a 16mm hour-long structuralist Western. Jonathan Schwartz is a filmmaker living in Boston, MA. He has made Indian ethnographies, cinema-records of family memory, and is currently working on a 33.3 minute “concept album” of collage films.
Running-time: 73 mins, followed by Q&A

"The study of our National Antiquities has called forth the talents of
the most eminent scholars; and it is generally admitted, that writings
on this subject, combining Historical remark with Topographical
illustration, are calculated to convey a knowledge of our domestic
concerns in a way the most entertaining and instructive."
J Nelson 1811

Welcome to the group.
I've been thinking of setting this up for some time when I realised
that I knew several people with similar interests who didn't really
know each other. Add to that the other lists and groups that I
subscribe to that I was constantly forwarding emails on from.
The catalyst came this weekend when I read in my local paper about the
Beating of the Bounds that was taking place on Leyton Marshes. On the
same day I met a fella called 'Roy the Book' who trades in
topographical books. So the idea of having an easy way to pass this
all on was born.
I hope it becomes a lively and useful list and some interesting stuff
comes out it.
