In the frame of locus-solus project and london festival of europe 2009

locus solus public: conversations curatives

project. London 27/4- 2/5 2009

Conversations curatives (talking cure) is an active role for Canterel. Conversations curatives

is a locus-solus phrase used here as a critical notion to destabilize locus, solus and representation.

The project seeks to reframe locus-solus in conflicting environments of the city, using the media of

walking, and techniques of collecting, re-writing and recycling data. The actors will perform walking

sessions within gentrified areas of London (Elephant & Castle). Passing through successive urban loci,

they will filter/transform local data (textual findings, discussions with residents, readings in

libraries of autonomous spaces, participation in collective activities) as they intersect with certain

locus-solus fragments. A locus-solus-wiki is an open working structure that contains and deforms,

in analogy with Raymon Roussels textual and mnemonic architecture. It will be used as an operative manual

of “rimes de faits”, rhymes for events, creating multiple links between diverse utopias, places, publics.

to be actively involved, express a written interest here. basic knowledge of french language is necessary.

the university platform is a project by gregorios pharmakis gathering different works done in  the frame of existing public universities. the works accumulated here are done in the form of group productions and create common fields of investigation.
