On Thursday 14 September 2017, UCL Urban Laboratory and Folkestone Triennial 2017 launched the EDGE symposium series, exploring the concept of situated practice in contemporary art, architecture and urbanism. The events bring together practitioners and thinkers at three ‘edge’ locations connected by the High Speed 1 railway, which acts a geographical link and embodies ideas associated with community, connectivity and escapism.
In framing these events, we have considered 'edge' as: 'Where an area that is known or privileged meets another that is unknown or ignored; a point of balance between contrary or diverse phenomena; a place of connectivity and interaction.'
'Gateway' was a day of enquiry on Bloomsbury and King's Cross as 'edge' locations through a mix of artist masterclasses and an evening conference. The Gower Street campus of UCL was planned and built on the urban/rural edge of nineteenth-century London, a ‘learning’ gateway through which generations of students have now passed, and one which now runs up against the King’s Cross development, conceived as a mix of ‘knowledge’ and ‘transport’ gateways.
Keynote: Jeremy Deller
Speakers: Marjetica Potrč and OOZE, Aidan Andrew Dun, Matthew Beaumont, Jan Kattein, and Rebecca Ross
Masterclasses: Samson Kambalu, Gary Woodley, Florian Roithmayr, Leah Lovett, and Katy Beinart
The series is organised by the UCL Urban Laboratory and Folkestone Triennial 2017, with additional support from the Slade School of Fine Art, UCL and The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL.
#EdgeGateway
The trail we took is called the White Oak Loop, and it inches right up to the edge of the preserve on the northwestern side. There are lots of electrical towers, which are a mandatory feature of Illinois nature preserves. You can see the Naperville waterworks in the distance.
The notorious Sharp Edge. Everyone you meet on the top of Blencathra claims to have come up this way.
I was panicked about cutting off too much. Especially when cutting pieces that will need to be glued together. You just have to take your time and measure carefully. Once satisfied, I taped the outside of the seam and trimmed the edges a little more so everything looked good and doesn't scratch or tear my under armor.
