MORE ABOUT THESE EVENTS
Isaac Marrero-Guillamón – The Militant City
Furtherfield Gallery, McKenzie Pavilion, Finsbury Park, London N4 2NQ
Friday 9 December 2011, 11-4pm
The Olympic mega-event is akin to Rancière’s ‘order of the police’. It
regulates what is visible and invisible, sayable and unsayable,
thinkable and unthinkable; it distributes individuals and groups in
positions of ruler or ruled." Join Isaac Marrero-Guillamón, researcher
for The Militant City, in a discussion and workshop on exploring the
role of art in relation to the Olympics, its legal architecture, and its
elevation to a 'state of exception'. Bring projects, ideas, stories and
prepare for battle over the control of language, sign, transmission and
public space.

Saturday 10 December 2011, 11-4pm
Rachel Baker and Kayle Brandon jointly lead this day of prophecy,
prediction and mobilization strategies for mapping the Moving Forest
onto the London Olympics; tuning in the camouflaged branches to the
contemporary mood of economic chaos and revolt.
Rachel Baker - Witches, Prophecy and Prediction
The story of Macbeth began with a witches' prophecy and ended in murder
and revolt. Did the witches predict a future already seen or did they
merely plant some well-placed psychological seeds to trigger a
self-fulfilling prophecy? In doing so, were they able to influence
reality? What prior information did they need to have? Is it the
magical, spectral appearance of the witch that lends the prophecy its
power, or their insertion into everyday life?
Kayle Brandon- 3-Keys
The three witches' prophecy and their tools and techniques of divination
are deployed to make a card game called The 3-Keys. Illuminating
insurgent mobilisation strategies, the game will map the key relational
powers within the Olympic game, matching/twinning them with the
essential Macbeth elemental and physical conditions. Discussion will
surround further oracle, divination tools and techniques that enable
one's actions to be fated or influenced by these processes.

Monday 12 December 2011, 6-9pm
This workshop is a taster to methodologies that merge ecological design
models of Permaculture with forms of creative resistance. Permaculture
mimics the patterns of living systems and applies them to human designs,
these whole system thinking tools will be applied to strategies for
developing creative actions. The workshop is suitable for artists and
activists of all sorts and with any kind of experience and aims to give
a feel of how it might be to "think like a forest".
