public works together with Book Works and supportstructure invite you to a Friday Session to launch
The so-called utopia of the centre beauborg - an interpretation
by Luca Frei,
co-published by Book Works and Casco
and
A FanFiction by public works and supportstructure:
Where does the speculation start and finish?
We are asking a number of artists/architects/urbanists who are/have
been involved in participatory and/or self managed public
programmes, to revisit that particular project's initial ambitions
and concepts in relation to the reality of its lived appropriation.
What could have happened next?
The invitation is to fictionalise the future of the project, after
it has already gone through multiple speculations by the different
authors and users involved; this is meant as a light hearted
opportunity to assess what has taken place so far, and to push it
into a (probably) unrealistic direction.
Luca Frei will be joined by Alun Rowlands, Emily Pethick, Kathrin Böhm, Andreas Lang and Celine Condorelli, for an informal presentation and discussion.
