Corridor8 Magazine Launch / 16th July / Urbis
Posted 01/07/2009 by pw.

Currently in production, our latest publication design for Corridor8 launches at Urbis, Manchester on the 16th July.

"Join us in Manchester on 16 July as we launch Corridor8 with an exclusive talk by the British author, essayist and psychogeographer, Iain Sinclair.
To accompany the launch, Sinclair has conducted a walk through Manchester - a meandering, poetic journey designed to shed new light on a city at once ancient and contemporary. Taking a route from Urbis to the edge of the city, Sinclair saw ghosts and alchemists, geographers and "discreet medics", a road that turned into "a river of human traffic" and pockets of green where wildlife flourished in a way it never could in the "toxic run-off from Olympic piracy" in London.
On 16 July, Sinclair relives this walk in a talk given at its starting point: Urbis. This is an opportunity to meet one of Britain's leading psychogeographers, and to find out why he has been tempted to write about the North of England for the first time. This part of the launch is strictly limited to 100 places. The rest of the launch is open to a further 150 guests.
