Wally was interacting a lot more with the other dogs than he usually does at the park; maybe he was just excited about all of the other corgis.
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.

This is a photo of an Oak Gall. It is the product of very interesting interaction: that of an oak tree and a Gall Wasp. This gall (the round pod looking thing that in essence has a similar function to a hive) is the result of a parasitic interaction between the wasp and the oak tree.
The galls are developed when specializing insects (in this case the Gall Wasp) excrete chemicals that interfere with the tree’s plant cell growth and formation. The oak tree then develops these round pods of tissue on the tree’s twigs in response to the wasp’s chemical secretions. The adult Gall Wasp lays its eggs within the hard seed like cell in the center of the gall. Until the gall formation is complete, the parent wasp will feed upon the nutrients produced by the oak. Once the gall growth stops, the developing wasp is encased within the gall and feeds only upon its spongy plant tissue. Housed within the gall, the developing wasps are protected from natural enemies, the elements, and insecticides until they are ready to emerge. Afterwards, the gall begins to dry out and fall from the tree. Ironically enough, aside from the initial parasitic relationship, the wasp doesn’t cause harm or lasting damage to the host oak.
