Britain Bombs America, America Bombs Britain

An investigation of land use on bombing ranges in the United States and Britain

Postgraduate students from the Curating Contemporary Art department at the Royal College of Art have invited the Center for Land Use Interpretation from Los Angeles to present its practice in the UK for the first time. This will be the third project to be curated by CCA students with the support of the Monique Beudert Fund, which focuses on the exchange of ideas between Europe and the Americas. The project has been developed through discussions between the CCA students and Matthew Coolidge, Director of the CLUI, concentrating on the investigation of military land use in the US and the UK.

"The Center for Land Use Interpretation is a research organization interested in understanding the nature and extent of human interaction with the earth's surface. The Center embraces a multidisciplinary approach to fulfilling the stated mission, employing conventional research and information processing methodology as well as nontraditional interpretive tools."
