This sort of discourse is at the heart of Location One’s philosophy of experimentation and collaboration.

When logistically and financially possible, American artists are invited to participate and are proposed by Location One’s curatorial team.

It is an online fair at a very large scale, which is, as Bruno Latour suggested in early discussions about Making Things Public: accessible to all the institutions, activists, teachers, political parties, artists who would have a wish to present, not so much their views on contested topics but the practical mechanisms to try to solve them.
on1

Utopia
During a debate with Theodor Adorno in 1964, Ernst Bloch, pushed to the wall to defend his position on utopia, stood firm. Adorno had begun things by reminding everyone present that certain utopian dreams had actually been fulfilled, that there was now television, the possibility of travelling to other planets and moving faster than sound. And yet these dreams had come shrouded, minds set in traction by a relentless positivism and then their own boredom. “One could perhaps say in general,” he noted, “that the fulfillment of utopia consists largely only in a repetition of the continually same ‘today.’”
Loca Lab
Loca is a group project by John Evans (UK/Finland), Drew Hemment (UK), Theo Humphries (UK), Mike Raento (Finland) A person walking through the city centre hears a beep on their phone and glances at the screen.

“You walked past a flower shop and spent 30 mi nutes in the park, are you in love?”
