apel de participare - Inbetween Zone workshop, intre 16 si 23 iunie 2007,
Budapesta, Ungaria

IMPEX, Contemporary Art Provider, announces
a call for participation in the Inbetween Zone workshop.

Challenged by the ongoing rapid and substantial transformation of urban
environment, IMPEX aims to act as a platform for the critical analysis of
urban development, social discourse and collaboration in art and cultural
practices. Therefore, with its own location as a starting point, and at
the same time encompassing a wider general discourse on the role of
cultural potentials in urban development, IMPEX initiates a long-term
interdisciplinary research project. This project will include workshops,
exhibitions, public interventions, publications and other alternative
methods of collecting, generating and organizing ideas and knowledge.

The first stage of the project is the workshop entitled Inbetween Zone,
which will take place in Budapest from 16 to 23 June 2007, simultaneously
with the 7th Biennial of European Towns and Town Planners.
(http://www.makingplaces.hu)

Themes of the Workshop are:
1. Public art and urban planning
2. Techniques of collective and individual interventions: how inhabitants
can use and form their own living-space
3. Grassroots: creative, grassroots initiations vs. urban planning
4. Limits to planning: limitations of urban planning projects
5. Mistake assessment: analysis and planning of errors in city development
projects.
6. Urban policy and identity formation: urban legends, local heroes

Workshop structure:
Throughout a one-week workshop 30 selected participants will work out the
above listed topics in different groups, with the guidance of tutors.
Methods and approaches will be developed collectively within the group.
The results of the workshop will be introduced in the form of an
exhibition and a public
presentation in IMPEX.
The official language of the workshop is English.
