Spiral at Compass Festival, Leeds

A new iteration of Spiral, originally commissioned by the Barbican (2007), London, for the Barbican Centre and surrounds.

'Onto a map of Holbeck, Gregg Whelan and Gary Winters of Lone
Twin will draw a spiral, a path cutting through offices, cafés,
schools, old mills, theatres, shops, homes. Over the course of
a week, Whelan and Winters will attempt to walk the spiral’s
impossible path, following it through walls and under doors. The
difficult journey is further challenged by the collection of objects,
unrestricted in size or nature, donated by people encountered
on the route. Whelan, Winters and the growing snowball of
materials, will gradually spiral through the neighbourhood, finding
their journey’s end at Holbeck Underground Ballroom, the spiral’s
geographic centre.

To mark the end of the seven day walk, you’re invited to gather at
HUB for food and drink, where Gary and Gregg will dismantle the
collection of objects. A chance to review the week of encounters,
to share stories from their travels and to reclaim items they have
collected along the way.'
