Walk With Me, Walk With Me, Will Somebody Please Walk With Me

A to B in MK (2018) is an artist’s book that documents 12 collective walks and cycle rides on the Milton Keynes Redways, a270km network of pedestrian and cycling paths that run in parallel to the Milton Keynes road grid.

The writing which explores parts of this network is a continuation of Hayley’s interest in sustainable transport, roads and oil. The publication includes a job application, written to Milton Keynes Council and Highways in the voice of the Redways asking for a role in the future of sustainable transport in the town. It is a sister publication to MKVH The Screenplay (2007), a book documenting a performance in which a coach was driven around the road grid of Milton Keynes until it ran out of diesel.

Take Me To Your Favourite Place is an audio and written journal that starts with artist Maria Sideri’s trip to Brussels. The work suggests a subjective geography that observes and reinvents the city and its miscellaneous facts, in order to create movements between the spaces of a metropolis in constant transition.

The project, conceived by the artists Lone Twin, began by inviting members of the public to donate pieces of wood that were significant to them.

The story behind each piece was documented and became part of the fabric of the boat. They include fragments from over 50 houses, a shaving from one of Jimi Hendrix’s guitars, and even a piece of the Cutty Sark.

In total the boat contains over 1,200 donations. Each piece tells us a story. Together they create Collective Spirit.

Leaving Berlin : On the Performance of Monumental Change

Nicolas Whybrow

pp. 37 – 45

In November, 1781, the captain of the slave ship Zong ordered that some 150 Africans be murdered by drowning so that the ship’s owners could collect insurance monies. Relying entirely on the words of the legal decision Gregson v. Gilbert-the only extant public document related to the massacre of these African slaves-Zong! tells the story that cannot be told yet must be told. Equal parts song, moan, shout, oath, ululation, curse, and chant, Zong! excavates the legal text. Memory, history, and law collide and metamorphose into the poetics of the fragment. Through the innovative use of fugal and counterpointed repetition, Zong! becomes an anti-narrative lament that stretches the boundaries of the poetic form, haunting the spaces of forgetting and mourning the forgotten.

Anti-manifesto for changing a world while exploring it: a tool for playful debate, collaboration, and intervention.

This book is for any visitor resident of the Elan Valley to enjoy a creative way of exploring the area and thinking about history, nature, and people.
