Map Marathon, Maps for the 21st Centuary

Major names gather for two-day live event at Royal Geographical Society 16 and 17 October 2010

Mel ( FDA 1 ) found this really useful event, perfect for your map Project.

The Serpentine Gallery presents the fifth event in its acclaimed Marathon series on 16 and 17 October. The multi-dimensional Map Marathon will feature non-stop live presentations by over 50 artists, poets, writers, philosophers, scholars, musicians, architects, designers and scientists. This ambitious two-day event takes place in London during Frieze Art Fair week.

  1. While we're on this subject, I've found a rather interesting book on creative maps at Waterstones, called The Map as Art: Contemporary Artists Explore Cartography. You can have a look at some of the pages on Amazon.
    In the college library, we already have "You Are Here: Personal Geographies and Other Maps of the Imagination", and I think they are both a must-read for anyone working on a mapping project. I've already shared the title with Andrew at LRC, so hopefully they'll be able to add it to the collection soon.
