TRANSIT LOUNGE 07 - ONLINE + IN BERLIN

The transit lounge is the archetypal transit space, the point where the hyper-global + hyper-local coincide; a location which blurs traditional conceptions of geo-political boundaries, creating pockets of international space within the borders of individual nation-states. An in-between space, it exists relative to a fixed departure and arrival point, not to the area that surrounds it.

From Feb - June 2007, 16 German and Australian artists will participate in the TRANSIT LOUNGE in Berlin. TRANSIT LOUNGE offers artists from a variety of disciplines (including architecture) the opportunity to collaborate on projects related to transit in both real and virtual space. First held in 2006, the project consists of 2 distinct elements - a series of overlapping 1-month residencies and an online blog where artists can exchange ideas, leave observations, and discuss related themes to the project. Transit Lounge invites you to participate in these transnational conversations by commenting on the blog, http://www.transitlounge.org
