Mobile Research Station no.1 In a wilderness at the heart of Berlin a strange apparition has landed. Simon Faithfull’s Mobile Research Station no.1 is a curious hybrid – half hi-tech Antarctic Research Station / half rusty-broken-dumpster. Using a standard building-waste container as its basis, the station nevertheless forms a luxurious designer-pod provided for an eccentric set of researchers. Rather than researching the frozen wastes of Antarctica or the moons of Saturn, the invited artist/researchers have begun their investigation into the surrounding wilderness and urban zones of uncertainty that still lie at the centre of Berlin. There initial findings and questions can be found in this blog as and when they happen.
The Research Station is commissioned by SKULPTURENPARK BERLIN_ZENTRUM for their project Wunderland. The station can be found on the open ground between Seydelstr and Beuthstr Researchers include: Esther Polak (Amsterdam) 18-22 Aug Annika Lundgren (Gothenburg/Berlin) 17-21 Aug Martin John Callanan (London) 24-30 Aug Katie Paterson (London) 31 Aug – 6 Sep Nick Crowe & Ian Rawlinson (Manchester/Berlin) 5-10 Sep Simon Faithfull (Berlin/London) 11-14 Sep Tim Knowles (London) 15-19 Sep http://www.simonfaithfull.org/MobileResearch1/blog/about -- Olga P Massanet -------------------------- www.ungravitational.net virtualfirefly.wordpress.com www.vimeo.com/ungravitational _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
