CitySellingCityTelling

Sparwasser HQ, Berlin

CitySellingCityTelling

With CitySellingCityTelling Sparwasser HQ aims at providing space for research, investigation and knowledge production among artists focusing on various aspects of city identity. During a period of 6 weeks Sparwasser HQ will host three projects individually. Public Brands by Andreas Fogarasi consists of various works which examine the branding of the public sphere. Public administrations are starting more and more to present themselves to their citizens and tourists as a brand and, not least, to offer them the chance to identify with it. Hereafter Sparwasser HQ will be hosting CODE:RED by Tadej Pogacar: a multidisciplinary, multimedia, collaboration project, which focuses on global sex work, and discusses the informal economy models, self-organisation, and global trafficking. The presentation in Sparwasser HQ will include an exhibition, a roundtable discussion, and a publication of the third issue of the international newspaper SEX WORKER. Both form and content will radically change, when Sparwasser becomes the temporary operational Head Quarter of the International Necronautical Society (INS): an expansive, networked organisation sliding between the worlds of art, fiction, philosophy and media The INS Inspectorate Berlin asserts that 'Berlin is the world capital of death, hence also the world capital of erasure. The fabric of the city is nothing other than the erasure of the traces of death.'

The fourth project by Kristina Ask/Free Floating Faculty is a row of collaborative research projects, examining art as a way of producing knowledge. On 1 - 2 occasions the project, that is initially Ask's contribution to the exhibition City Rumble in Copenhagen, will dock at Sparwasser under the title Sharing knowledge/OpenSource BerlinCopenhagen Vice versa Free Floating Faculty will ship the projects from CitySellingCityTelling to Copenhagen, and host discursive workshops involving the local Copenhagen audience.

CitySellingCityTelling is part of the project Urban Art Sories, that tie together Copenhagen, Berlin and Malmö in a joint cultural manifestation comprising a total of 29 participating projects. Urban Art Stories has taken shape through the joint efforts of various partners in Copenhagen, Berlin, and Malmö. http://www.urbanartstories.com
