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  ëorganisational
voidí.

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 UKP2.00

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




Thanks to Nils Norman and the Clinic
