Walk & Watch – Go & See

project seminar & excursions

Walking and watching, cruising and seeing, navigating and charting, collecting and sorting, visualizing and communicating: The workshop aims to investigate — in theory as well as in practice — techniques, strategies and modes of exploring the (in)visible city. Tracing, tracking, and leaving marks will be a core activity.

Starting point and basic working format are city walks, hereby consciously drawing back to a cultural practice used by many artists and artist's collectives from early modernity onwards.

For a more detailed text pls. see the extended project description in German.

Please note:
GEHEN & SEHEN ("Walk & Watch – Go & See") is  connected to the research project "(IN)VISBLE CITY".
In Summer 2008, walks will loosely explore the aerea between Bockenheim/Sophienstraße, Messeviertel and Bahnhofsviertel.
At least two walks will take place in the framework of the "RE-BUILD THIS CITY" congress (Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung), AtelierFrankfurt, 30./31.05.2008.
