POST PRESS: The Past in the Present with James Pockson and Neal Shasore

What are the metaphors, gestures, details, and assumptions that constrain working with the historic environment? Where do they come from? Who do they serve? James Pockson (IDK) Neal Shasore (The School of Building) and guests will excavate, explore and test the cliches and conventions of conservation. Expect short and punchy responses to some of conservation's keywords -HARM, REPAIR, ADAPT, STITCH, CARVE, QUOTE - plenty of discussion, and a live craft demonstration. Date: Wednesday 24th June Time: 7:00pm-9:00pm Location: Zaha Hadid Foundation, 10 Bowling Green Ln, London EC1R 0BQ Image: Kennedy's, 305 Walworth Road, in the course of conversion to Lao Dao by IDK
