WEBSITE – PAMPHLET – REFERENCE ROOM

Picking-up from the earlier archeology of Stewart Home and Fabian Tompsett, the Infopool project re-emerges in London at Clinic to present the ongoing outcome of its research-drift into Scandinavian Situationism. With the Debord industry burgeoning to the detriment of a wider appreciation of all facets of a situationistic movement - its exclusion zones, its offer of a non-compliant cultural politics - Infopool have assembled a website of translated texts drawn from the much underestimated Bauhaus Situationniste and offset these with a selection from Internationale Situationniste. To accompany this web-anthology an introduction - Divided We Stand - will be issued as Infopool No.4. This texcursion provides an outline of the activities of the Bauhaus Situationniste from 1962 to 1974 and pits their activities against a discussion of situationism that adumbrates some of the movement's unconscious aporias: sovereign power, individualism and the resultant ‘organisational void’.

RECEPTION
On Friday 7th there will be a launch party for the website and for Infopool No.4. There is an outside chance that we will be able to show the situationist film ‘So Ein Ding’ (Such a Thing) - a collaborative project made in Munich in 1961 by Group Spur, Jacqueline De Jong, Jorgen Nash and Albert Mertz.

REFERENCE ROOM
Clinic will also host a temporary reference room on Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th December. Open between 1.00 and 6.00 visitors will be able to browse through some of the situationist publications that have sourced the project and which have been borrowed from libraries in Copenhagen.

PAMPHLET
Over the weekend Infopool No.4, a 48-page illustrated pamphlet, will be available for £2.00

WEBSITE
This can be accessed from 7th December via the Infopool.org.uk website
