FORUM MATTHEW FLINTHAM:
THE MILITARY PRODUCTION OF SPACE
THIS EVENT WILL HAPPEN MONDAY MAY 3RD AT 7 P.M. (ORIGINALLY PLANNED FOR APRIL 22ND)
Accompanying the exhibition Archipelago, a World Map by Hamdi Attia we have invited artist and reseacher Matthew Flintham to address issues related to mapping, power and territories. With this presentation we'd like to focus on more general themes in the exhibition.
Using found and created visualisations, Flintham will discuss the physical and invisible aspects of military power projection, the mapping of territory and how state power is constituted in the landscape, specifically in the United Kingdom.
