Project
Herouville St. Claire, France 2009
The project "les Archivistes" is the search for parts of a puzzle that make up the history of a modern city. Over one year, residents of Herouville St.Claire participated in workshops with actors, choreographers, artists, writers, and architects, from which emerged fragments of their own imaginary City Archive. Herouville St.Claire is a 1960's "ville neuf" (new town), planned and built with all the urban resources postwar modernism had to offer. "Le Tabularium" now attempted to put the puzzle together. In antiquity the Tabularium was the place where inscribed clay tablets were housed. Our Tabularium consists of fragments of these remains on which parts of the city's history were engraved and with which each visitor can now compose his/her own story.
Sankt-Pölten, Austria 2009 – 2011
In St. Pölten, the regional capital city from Lower Austria - not far from Vienna - an expedition is being prepared. Where to? What for? What will we look for and discover? Who will take part? These are questions that raumlaborberlin will discuss with the inhabitants of the city. We are inviting the inhabitants of St. Pölten to prepare with us an Expedition. To advise us, looking for a research goal and the path to take, choosing a way of transportation, drawing maps, inventing tools and equipment, bring together the perfect expedition team and develop a good structure.
Hamburg, Germany 2007
Medium-scale foyer furnishing: too big to be furniture and too small to be building structures. Consisting of abstract black, mobile elements reminiscent of facades, city models, fences and blocks, the foyer area can be infinitely redefined using the elements of this variable installation.
