Laboratory is the online platform for us to contribute, document, create, communicate, formulate, devise, discuss, collaborate and archive all things lab-related. Within, around, upon this space, let us utilise this opportunity to identify and develop something exciting. Please upload work: written, visual, sonic and so on and so forth, ideas, opinions, comments, suggestions, spaces, places, non-places, dates, plans, diagrams, reports, links, conversations.. the list is non-exhaustive. Transforming Practices: "This year's Lab has a conceptual/practical focus around questions of ‘Transforming Practices’. We will consider models and theories of social and spatial organisation in the light of global cultural transformations. At the heart of our investigations are collaborative art, architectural and urban practices that allow for a multi-inhabitation of territories and narratives across cultural, social or geographic boundaries. We'll also experiment with new models of our own, drawing not only on textual sources but also, and particularly, on materials, practices and archives pertaining to visual and aural culture. Each group will research, produce and present work - a particular exploration of what transforming practices means to them - that will have arisen out of that group's particular interests, expertise, questions and idiosyncrasies. Each group will decide what form its contribution to the programme of the final event will take. It could be a ‘network’ of some kind, a publication, a built environment, a cartography, a programmed series of dialogues and debates, an archive, a sound piece, a video, a performance, an action, a website, a wiki..."
