A Lunar Perspective

MA Situated Practice is a platform for developing creative projects that are situated physically and engage with contemporary social, cultural, economic, environmental and political conditions. This practice-led transdisciplinary course questions the role of the public practitioner and explores a critical spatial practice across art, architecture, performance, writing and urbanism.Situated Practice: Live presents a sequence of moments through which practitioners share their work with the public. Visitors are invited to participate in immersive performances, attend screenings, hear readings, share stories and contribute to workshops and discussions. The series of events are free to attend and open to all.

Situated Practice: Live

<H3 CLASS="MsoNormal">This performative reading travels between astronomy, mapping, bordering and othering to examine our relationship to the land and question the politics of traversing the border.</H3>
 
A Lunar Perspective travels in an irregular orbit around Lunar House, a UK Home Office Visa and Immigration building, to question how we map, control and understand our relationships to the land and the people around us.
As a front line of UK immigration policies, Lunar House is a site where the border is practiced and performed. Inhabiting the space between the skies and the soil, A Lunar Perspective steps in to understand the materiality of this enactment of the border and steps out to question practices of bordering and othering.
Through this orbital journey, A Lunar Perspective travels through questions of astronomy, mapping and bordering to explore connections, real and imagined, between the body, the land and the sky and to examine the politics of traversing the border.
 
Please join me for a work-in-progress performative reading of A Lunar Perspective. This will be held in UCL’s North Observatory on the 16th October. The space accommodates 8 people at a time, so please do book a time slot for the performance.
Note: please meet 10 minutes before your time slot in the UCL quad's North Lodge - on the left directly as you enter the gates to the quad.
 
Eloise Maltby Maland is a Situated Practice student at the Bartlett.
