Wasteland Twinning Network Forum
An exploration of urban wastelands and networked transdisciplinary practice // Vom 21. bis 23 September 2012 im zk/u Berlin
Das Wasteland Twinning Network entführt das Konzept der ‚City Twinning „und wendet sie auf Brachflächen an, um ein Netzwerk zu generieren, dass sich zwischen Forschung und Handlung aufspannt. Das kommende Forum im ZK / U – Zentrum für Kunst und Urbanistik in Berlin bringt die internationalen Projektpartner des Wasteland Twinning Netzwerk aus ganz Europa, Asien, den USA und Australien zusammen. An 3 Tagen wird hier Raum für Präsentationen, Gastredner, kritische Debatten, Twinning Ceremonies, Wasteland Interventions und Workshops geschaffen.
Representatives from the various Network locations will present wasteland sites, the associated projects and the questions that they evoke. For example, Yogyakarta’s Bon Suwung Collective will address the social relations and property conflicts arising from the use of the land by a squatting community. Alongside the presentation of their ongoing programme of research, experimentation and public events, Wasteland Twinning Nottingham asks: what is the impact of artists focusing on undeveloped urban sites? Is ‘cultural capital’ created, and what are the implications of this?
Guest speakers from parallel practices of urban geography, art, activism, and architecture, will highlight wastelands as spaces continually recreated by a complex web of social, natural, economic, and technological worlds. Following the scheduled events, registered participants are invited to join project partners and guest speakers for dinner.
