Bunkers: looking in, looking out - 2014

A talk performance in which laboratoro looks into the entrails of bunkers that pan out the landscape and scan the territory.

A disorientating map serves as the sinuous grid in which various arts pieces are anchored:

  1. A sound/visual piece. Bunker’s dew by Ed Briggs;
  2. A visual/performance piece. Warlines by Jim Sanders;
  3. A mapping/performance piece. Where do you draw the line? by Xelís de Toro;

laboratoro has been walking, making sounds, creating images and writings as part of their research into the role of bunkers and maps in carving territories and creating divisions among peoples.

The piece Where do you draw the line? Was performed on the 7th June in Lewes as part of the Future Dreaming exhibition organized by Guyan Porter. It consisted of a line map drawn in the town of Lewes by pulling a chalk boulder.

Warlines consisted of a collection of visual shields that were paraded by a group of volunteers in a war formation. It took place on the 24th of July in the Level Park in Brighton. The shields later were put together to shape a bunker in the Phoenix Gallery.

Bunker’s dew consists of a visual score and musical composition inspired by the resonance qualities of bunkers at Cuckmere Haven.

 

Supported by 68 Middle Street.
