The Radical & The Revolutionary

It is time for the third annual alt.SPACE Festival. This time it will take
the form of a month-long peripatetic symposium, criss-crossing the urban
wilderness that is London in a variety of ways, through a variety of means
and involving a variety of events and activities ranging from dinner
parties, picnics and informal walks, to project presentations and
discussions, to more theoretical papers and a concluding 24 consecutive hour
long conference. 

The overall theme this year is the Radical and the Revolutionary. What is
the validity and usefulness of these concepts in terms of contemporary, and
future, forms of politically engaged cultural practice? Can they be
reclaimed, rendered affirmative and dissentious tools, and if so, how? What
kind of histories can we access and how do we access them? What strategies
are ours to employ? What forms of linkages and connections, what kinds of
networks and collaboration? This year the overall theme will be engaged with
from four perspectives each of which involved its own set of events and
activities: Sound, Cartography, Illegality, and Dissemination.  Please see
program below and our brand new website: www.altspace.info
<http://www.altspace.info/>  for further details.

This year also sees the launch of alt.SPACE Radio  - our IT-radio station
which will broadcast much of the festival and many other forthcoming
alt.SPACE events. Additionally, the festival celebrates the very first issue
of our journal: alt.SPACE hardCOPY. Please see www.altspace.info
<http://www.altspace.info/>  for further details.

Come join us. All events are free of charge. Everyone is welcome. For some
events we ask you to let us know beforehand, particularly those that involve
public space meetings or preparatory readings or discussions. It's all very
informal and convivial. We look forward to seeing you. If you have received
this directly from the alt.SPACE Network you will receive updates as of the
