WORDS ARE NOT ENOUGH by Cornford & Cross
Temporary peace garden over abandoned nuclear bunker and public address on art, conflict and memory
Saturday 16 June, 2pm
Meet in front of Southwark Town Hall, Peckham Road, SE5
Free

In a vacant plot of land, a shaft drops down to a concrete stairway leading to a network of flooded chambers. In total darkness, food supplies, power generation, air filtration, and communications systems lie obsolete, decaying, and forgotten. Built in 1953 to accommodate council staff in the event of a nuclear attack, the underground shelter is a relic of the Cold War era. Today, as an astonishing economic regeneration gathers pace in Southwark, the land stands ripe for development in this most dynamic and promising area of the Capital.

Cornford and Cross will create a temporary peace garden over the entrance to Southwark council’s nuclear bunker to re-connect world history with personal memories, reflect on ideas of closure and celebrate new possibilities. The work will launch with a public address by Professor Paul Gough of the University West of England, who is an international authority on the aesthetics of conflict.

MATERIAL SPACES: THE CITY AND SECOND LIFE
Wednesday 20 June 6.30pm
Lecture Hall, Peckham Road, Camberwell College of Arts
Free

Second Life is one of the leading Web 2.0 projects to have emerged over past 5 years. It is a virtual world initially inspired by cyberpunk literature, but imagined, created and owned by its inhabitants. A public talk with award winning writer and filmmaker Ian Sinclair will look at how our real world engagement with the cityscape is developing in similar fashion to our online engagement with a virtual city.
In addition during the Camberwell Arts Festival MA Digital Arts students will run a series of daily events to explore the possibilities of Second Life.
