Intersection is a programme of talks, artist intervention and exhibits that focus on how the individual navigates the urban environment, with particular reference to city centres. 

 

Introduced by Oren Lieberman from the Department of Architecture and Building Science at the University of Strathclyde other contributors include: Dr Jane Rendell, cultural theorist from University College London; artists Toby Paterson, Sarah Johnson and Garry Robson.   Screenings by internationally recognised artists will include Regarding the Fall by ‘Crutchmaster’ Bill Shannon, Out by Roddy Buchanan, Local by Benji Bateman, Driftwood by Oliver Payne and Nick Relph.

 

This event has been developed in conjunction with the education department at the Lighthouse and will feature a Young Designers exhibition of skateboard sculptural objects commissioned from Toby Paterson (exhibition and screenings continue at The Lighthouse until Saturday 16 March – free admission).

 

Intersection includes the Scottish book launch of Skateboarding and the City, the Body and Architecture by Professor Iain Borden.  Supported by Berg Publishers.
