The Mapping Room: An Installation & Symposium: 25th September to the 4th October 2009
Head Quarters became The Mapping Room as part of The Melbourne Fringe Festival 2009. The Mapping Room charted both the concrete and the fleeting using live art, SMS, drawing, video and a lecture series to explore notions of scale, temporality and very human geography.
Head Quarters was divided into cartographic sections with each section being inhabited by a different artists or company including: En Route by bettybooke, Take Off Your Skin (TOYS) by WELL, Emma Rochester, Robbie Dixon, Kelly Ryall, Analogue Art Map, Lara Thoms, Deadpan and more...
The symposium on October 2nd from 6.30- 9.30 featured artists talks by Yasuko Kurano, Sam Routledge from Blood Policy, imap and Hugh Davies and a presentation by Dr. Fraser Macdonald, Senior Lecturer in Human Geography at The University of Melbourne.
