TAKING OFF

"Loadz of Berloons" is taking off soon and this blog is to document the workshop and everything we would like to mention which is related to the project and our work.
It will be a diary of the next weeks and should be the basis for the documentation which will be added to the exposition catalog later on.

Workshop: 2.8. to 16.8.08

Vernissage: 15.8. 7pm
Finisage: 30.8. 7pm

at Happenstudio/Chausseestr.1/Berlin-Mitte

the Concept

“Loadz of Berloons“, a motto playing on the names of the two cities that are home to the artists, includes the concepts of heavy loads and burdens on one hand and of ease on the other, the balloon standing for some kind of wrapping – enveloping and defining, fragile, changeable and volatile.

The project is meant as an experiment that investigates into the concepts of mobility, transport and localisation, concepts which include the ideas of starting, arriving, taking and bringing with us as a transfer

When people are “underway“ they are not just moving. In a way they are not alone; they carry their norms and beliefs, their habits, even their belongings. Which strategies do they develop when moving? And how do they handle the chances and challenges of being on the move? What does it mean to be somewhere and not to be somewhere?
