About

'Where The Rave Was ' is an portfolio from an extended project over the years 2009-2012. Revisiting sites of historic raves from the late 1980's / early 1990's and documenting what remained proved that a latent energy remained in the banal landscapes that had once been infused with underground semi-illegal parties. In almost each instance a strange memory trace could be identified. For example the positioning of farm machinery found in 2010 mirrored the abstract art on the flyer for a rave that took place on the same spot twenty years earlier. A taxi cab office named after the rave act S'Express alongside where a squat party had been held. The 2012 Olympic Stadium built opposite the site of a 1980's warehouse party. http://www.kinglux.co.uk/?p=3854
