We like walking as much as we do swimming in the sea. (August 2003) The paths we follow
through the "inbetween spaces"( see interview with Stephen Morton) do
not need to be only on the outskirts of the city they can be in its
center, but still remaindistinct. Timeless reality? Which lines? (..that
sweep thought along in the wake of the movement of things? N.N) |

Interview with cultural critic Steven Morton
Steven: The word dencity denotes not only spatial density÷as in the density of urban planning -- but also embeds the noun Īdenā and perhaps a different notion of dwelling.

Picnolepsy Script In the Spring of 2002, e-Xplo initiated a work that would for the first time take place in Manhattan. Invited to produce a work that would be performed at Roulette, e-Xplo took on the context of Lower Manhattan and the events which had taken place in and above those streets only months before. Instead of linking directly with September 11th, e-Xplo instead used material descriptions of the massacres which took place in Sabra and Chatila( link to Robert Fisk article reporting on the massacres) Source material included sounds/texts from various films including "While the City Sleeps", "Escape from New York", "Taxi Driver", "Manhattan", "Red Desert", "Armageddon", "Chronicle of a Love", "On the Water Front", "My Dinner with Andre",+ many others... as well as texts by Sam Shepard, Jean-Franois Lyotard, Jean-Luc Nancy, as well as original material created / composed / written by the artists.
