Distributed fanzine
Dr James Lattin’s ‘A New Theory of Holes’ will draw on his historic research and set out the field of potential archaeology. Considering both the holes we excavate alongside the holes in what museums tell us about the past, it might provide some helpful ways ahead in these troubled times. He will look into various examples from the work of Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, abandoned motels, and the problem of keeping things in drawers.
