Know any lost or forgotten spaces? The Psy-Geo Provflux is a two day event investigating how the urban landscape of Providence affects its social and artistic community.
PIPS is currently reviewing proposals for the Psy-Geo Provflux, which will take place in Providence from May 14-15. We're interested in public-space projects (drifts/derives, mapping experiments, fieldwork, mill tours, temporary installations, recycled materials projects, performances, interventions, mobile-tech/GPS projects, audio/visual works) as well as artist presentations, workshops and lectures that adddress issues of psychogeography.
The Provflux will be held in conjunction with New York City's Psy-Geo Conflux, an annual event sponsered by Glowlab. For more information on last year's events, please visit Glowlab.

A publication to accompany the show:
CROSSWALK
"Crosswalk", a publication discussing current issues and events in urban psychogeography, will make its debut in conjunction with the Psy-Geo Provflux. The first issue will focus on defining psychogeography in the context of its affect on the creative process. It will feature the Provflux, including maps and schedules for the events, artist's statements, and general dialogue about how and why artists choose the city as the canvas for their work.
If you are interested in the Psy-Geo Provflux and are the literary type, then submitting an article for "Crosswalk" could be just the right way to get involved. We are currently accepting all kinds of written documents and photography that deal with the issues oulined above. Please send any questions and/or documents to [email protected] .
ALSO-- We are especially interested in articles and photographs that deal with the history of Providence's changing urban structure in general. If you've happened to have done some research in that venue, it would be greatly appreciated if you could share it with us. Thanks!
Happy trails,
The Providence Initiative for Psychogeographic Studies (PIPS)
