Exhibition: 10 November 10 December, opening 10 November 9 pm A project by An Architektur, Berlin The small part of the built environment that is subject to planning at all is almost completely controlled by the claims of capitalist utilization: globalized markets and cultures ask for commodified spaces, nation states and corporations require spectacular architectures for representative purposes, the multitude of consumer subjects demands room for individualized privacy. What's left to do? Looking for possible ways of resistance within the field of architecture and planning, Berlin-based magazine An Architektur organised the first Camp for Oppositional Architecture in Berlin in 2004. They brought together practitioners and researchers who exchanged approaches and developed a common basis of discourse on the open idea of oppositional architecture. With the second camp An Architektur now want to further explore the theoretical grounds on which such projects could spread through a series of lectures and workshops. Speakers were selected through an open call. Both lectures and workshops are open to the public and free of charge and will take place at Expodium, Boven Vredenburg 27, 3511 DL, Utrecht, the Netherlands. Join the Camp for Oppositional Architecture! Lectures: Part I Friday 17 - 21h: Tatjana Schneider + Jeremy Till (Sheffield), Alexander Levi + Amanda Schachter (Madrid), Maria Theodorou (Athens), Miguel Robles-Duran (Rotterdam), Craig Buckley (New York), Part II Saturday 11 - 15 h: Ole W. Fischer (Zurich), BAVO (Rotterdam), Elisabeth Blum (Zurich), Markus Miessen (London). For full information on the schedule: www.cascoprojects.org.
