Composite City: Arcade Almanac 2024 by Assorted Authors

Description From The Grid, to The Drift, oysters to air – via subterranean sewers and bohemian hangouts – seven artists go in search of a city’s secrets. “…the hidden network that determines the way [things] confront one another, and also that which has no existence except in the grid created by a glance…’ -Michel Foucault, The Order of Things Have you ever wondered what lies under your feet? The history, buried beneath our city streets? Here Helen Addison-Smith, Lisa French, Victoria Kenworthy, Rose Michael, Benjamin Sheppard, Jessica L Wilkinson and Beau Windon share site-specific stories of the Melbournes that once were. What was discarded forgotten, is now remembered – brought to light in this Arcade almanac.
