Lise Autogena

Together with Joshua Portway and composer Orlando Gough, Lise Autogena created the Foghorn Requiem in 2013, a community portrait of the maritime North East in the form of a requiem performed by the Souter Foghorn, three brass bands and fifty ships on the North Sea. Lise Autogena will talk about her work aboard the vessel Zeldenrust III, a 28 meter Dutch ex-commercial motor ship on the Thames in central London, urban water space wars, water-based traditions and dreams of alternative futures on the waterways of Europe. Mobile Ecologies took place as part of the Art Moves exhibition held in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Mobile Ecologies brought together a diverse range speakers who initiated mobile projects which have a broader ecological interest. A series of short presentation will be followed by a discussion, highlighting the ecological ambitions behind the projects and explore the cultures and practices of 'doing things mobile'. Speakers included: Lise Autogena, Pilot Publishing and Umi Baden-Powell
