The Mapping Room symposium.

Recently we were invited to speak at the Mapping Room symposium. There are a huge range of map-related projects as part of this year's Fringe Festival and Melbourne Festival... as well as the Mapping Room you can catch the Interventionist Guide to Melbourne at Platform and Walk This Way to name only two. Below are the details of what's going on at the Mapping Room...

The Mapping Room: 25th September to the 4th October 2009.
Installation & Symposium.

The Mapping Room is an evolving installation of The Fringe Festival and The World. It charts both the concrete and the fleeting. Using live art, SMS, drawing, video and a lecture series to explore notions of scale, temporality and very human geography.

Head Quarters will be divided into cartographic sections with each section being inhabited by a different artists or company including: En Route by bettybooke, Take Off Your Skin (TOYS) by WELL, Emma Rochester, Robbie Dixon, Kelly Ryall, Analogue Art Map, Lara Thoms, Deadpan and more...

The Mapping Room will be evolving each day from 12-4pm.

On October 2nd from 6.30- 9.30 there will be artists talks and Dr. Fraser Macdonald, Senior Lecturer in Human Geography at The University of Melbourne will speak.
