TRANSIT LOUNGE An evolving intervention in the heart of Berlin
Feb-April 2007
For 4 months from February 2007, a space in Berlin will be given over to the TRANSIT LOUNGE – a continuous installation-intervention on the topic of transit. The work will provide a platform for Australian and German architects and artists from across all disciplines, to collaborate on a single project and explore issues including disorientation, displacement, anonymity globalisation and non-places.
We are calling for expressions of interest from artists, musicians, architects and writers wanting to participate in the creation and destruction of this new-media ‘merzbau’. The residency will cover a 1-month period for each artist We expect participating artists to create a new work, take part in meetings, talks and workshops and write statements on the website journal to discuss themes and concepts with overseas peers.
Whilst artists will have to provide their own travel to Berlin, basic accommodation and a studio space will be supplied.The curators will organise “Open Studio Exhibitions”, talks and workshops. We are currently in the process of applying for funding from a variety of sources, and it is hoped that a small living allowance will be able to be given to participating artists. All possible assistance will be given to artists for funding applications.
