This performance based installation project draws on the novel Locus Solus (’Solitary or Unique Place’, 1914) by Raymond Roussel (1877-1933), a proto-Surrealist text in which a scientist named Martial Canterel fits out luxurious laboratories in a villa near Paris. May 1: Midnight Procession Concluding the performance of Locus Solus, artists, dancers, musicians, poets, writers, philosophers and other odd characters will move from London Bridge (assemble outside Shunt Vaults) going for a night procession through Brick Lane and up to Shoreditch. The procession will include choreography, music, speed, and much more! An artistic, political, and poetic night not to be missed. May 2: Flaneurs Sans Frontieres Join us for an informal debate with poets, artists, architects and philosophers on walking as an artistic and political practice, and one of the defining traits of the European city.
