Graphic representations of space
Hi Emily This is a really fascinating subject and shows how rich something like phone directories can be. The map on the first slide reminds me of the London Underground map which represents a very limited or even distorted view of the city and the way an ... -
Memory and convergence
Hi Ben I'll add my thanks to the others for a really interesting post and a great way to start off the week and have a couple of rather random ideas to throw into the discussion. I too was struck by ideas of how your post/adverts challenge ideas of ... -

Local Gatekeepers
Those are some really interesting points Avi, thank you- I'll certainly think more about how ephemerality can have geographical consequences as well as temporal ones. I'm intrigued by whether Kate Modern was sold outside of the UK. It's a ...
