Project
New York, United States 2011
Invited by Storefront for Art and Architecture the SPACEBUSTER was developed and designed to explore the qualities and possibilities of public space in New York City in 2008. Spacebuster interacts with the architectural and the social space and its conditions. It opens urban space for temporary collective uses. 2011 we were invited again, to reactivate the SPACEBUSTER as part of the Festival of Ideas for The New City.
Brno, Czech Republic 2011
In Brno raumlabor built a Public Stage together with Students from the University of Applied Science and Arts Dortmund and the Faculty of architecture BUT / Brno University of technology. One of raumlabor’s motivations is to engender alternative practices within the city, fostered through cooperation and self-empowerment. They explore what remains of collective ideals and ways to overcome today’s harsh conditions of economic competition. Establishing temporary communities is one tool to creating a surrogate notion of a city beyond the capitalist logic of use-value and profitability.
