In Extenso_Public Space_Flyer
How to rethink space and matter? This workshop focuses and operates at the intersection of art and architecture, about the relationship between language and the constitution of space. Dealing with projects in public space requires consideration of its discursive context.
How does the work of art or architecture interact with the multitude of voices that construct public space? How does this discursive context influence the relationship between artist, architect and participatory public? And what is its effect on the actors themselves?
The idea of the workshop is to exchange documents around the notion of public spaces and to discuss on the basis of this information.

Platforma 11
Conceived and organized by Yvonne Anders and Julia Kurz
10.-19.09.2011, Leipzig and Markkleeberg, Germany
Platforma11 is an international and interdisciplinary project week which aims to create an open space process reflecting on the topics ‘art, politics and education’ and their relationship to one another. Around 50 artists and activists from Germany, Western and Eastern Europe, Russia, North Afrika and Israel with interdisciplinary approaches worked together in organizing workshops, panels and lectures as well as exhibitions, concerts, performances and interventions.
The «Building Networks» group, through a series of discussions, approached the topic of networking from as many possible angles as the number of its members. It was a task, not only of defining the term, but as well of finding possible application methods. To enrich this process we approached all the participants of Platforma11 in an attempt to document how networks are perceived and what networks exist among the people of the workshop.

Beginning in 1998 with a three-day symposium and an ensuing publication, the project focused on an expanding archive about these practices and its 1200 documents.
