SPACE FOR SPACE PRELIMINARY PHASE – THEORY AND PRACTICE 2010
The preliminary phase, under the artistic direction of Petra Reichensperger, is based on joint discussions regarding art and public space, visual spatial materialisations and intercultural exchange. The workshops range from the cartography of possible locations to quick sculptures through to ideal productions. They will all be accompanied by lectures on the potential and paradoxes of art in public space.
