Pursuing work
Walk in Progress with Oliver Schürer, Rhona Byrne u.a.
Concept: Markus Bogensberger and Gabu Heindl
Factory, depot, working-class estate: powerful images of work from
days of yore. But what are the architectures for networked, immaterial
or affective labor like? 'Atypical employment', 'outsourcing' and
'franchising', teleworking, labour migration - these are the buzzwords
for a changed world of work, directly impacting life concepts, daily
routines and urban modes of use. At the same time, the city itself is
changing, too, with inner cities, for example, becoming tourist service
zones and industrial regions becoming Creative Cities. Urban discourse
defines new types of city names: Network City, Knowledge City, Serve
City, Surf City, etc. - where do we find such fragments within a
Central European medium-size city like Graz?
