+++CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS+++
URBAN DRIFT - 2002
OCTOBER 16th-20th 2002
++symposium +++ nightscapes +++ urbaninterfaces
URBAN DRIFT is a network for the development of trans-cultural urban strategies.
Over the past 3 years, URBAN DRIFT has formed part of the berlinbeta media festival, as a symposium which offers a platform to cutting-edge architects and designers for whom the city is a medium, and architecture a communicative tool for new urban strategies.
++The network represented by URBAN DRIFT++
Concentrating on urban voids, gaps and residual, or peripheral zones and public spaces, members of URBAN DRIFT act as tacticians for a contemporary urban praxis, developing a discourse within Berlin as one of the primary cities of flux. Our aim is to communicate architecture and urban design to a wider audience, to extend the boundaries of architectural discourse, and to maximise the potential of interdisciplinary practice. We speculate on the need to point the way to contemporary architectural practice and urban design as the steering and managing of processes; on the need to move from formalism to flux management.
++URBAN DRIFT 2002++
This year urban drift is a 5 day event with a rich mix of talks and presentations by day, screenings, thematically based visuals, lectures and sound-scapes by night, along with open offices, in which architecture and design studios engage with the urban drift themes and reveal innovative hybrid spaces and working methods.
++planned location++
The event is set to take place in the Umspannwerk, a 19th century power station in Berlin-Kreuzberg, which has recently been renovated as a location for large-scale cultural events.
++conference++
Mobile cultures and new urban strategies
The two-day conference will examine the impact of mobile telecommunications systems and media on architecture and urban design strategies. We will involve artists, architects, designers, theorists and activists in mutual discourse.
CONFERENCE THEMES
++ Technical Mobility: Interaction design; the design of flows++
an examination of the impact of interactive and embedded technologies on contemporary design processes in architecture and design in the urban sphere.
++ Mental Mobility: Network urbanism++
an exploration of new coalitions between architects, artists, designers and urban planners. How is the role of the architect and designer adapting to the demands of network practice, and Œflux management‚, and what tools are being employed to visualize increasingly complex, multi-layered urban processes?
++ Mobility vs. place: Re-humanizing technology and Œconnective urbanism‚++
How do architects and designers recreate a sense of place and counteract the speed of the media-driven cityscape? On urban voids, the reanimation of residual urban spaces, and on re-engaging the public in urban design processes.
++ Tactical mobility: effective Strategies for the redevelopment and the repoliticisation of public spaces,
Œarchitecture is threat management‚ – Mark Wigley
a discussion amongst architects and media tacticians with relation to urban space. On Œflexible response‚, on intervening in and changing perceptions of the cityscape. On architecture as a medium.
++call for papers++
We welcome abstracts and short papers for inclusion in the conference and accompanying presentations. We also welcome relevant texts and essays for inclusion in the planned publication and the web site (textzone).
Please send abstracts of about 300 words – to: info@urbandrift.org +++when+++ initial proposals should reach us by April 20th 2002.
++URBAN DRIFT_THE NIGHT SPACE++
The space will provide a temporary, transformational and flexible situation for artists, architects and designers to present their proposals and investigations within a more informal setting.
Communicating an Œemotional urbanism‚ and drawing from the situationist dérive, Urban Drift‚s night space will encompass<sum>talks, readings, slide projections, screenings and urban soundscapes.
+++themes+++urban futures – real and virtual, shopping malls and garage settlements, the alchemy of urban narrative, urban nomadism and mobile technologies that foster a restless, edgy urban perspective, psychogeographies, scanning/mapping the city, displacement, and peripheral urban zones, in short, the !=inexhaustible inventory of the streets!= (Benjamin)
++CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS++
We welcome the following from urbanists ++ video works for screening@umspannwerk, slide shows, proposals for readings, performances, sound-pieces++
++ posters++ will form a significant part of the night-space<sum> we welcome polemic, statements and images dealing with the above mentioned themes.

Deadline: April 30, 2002
Exhibition proposals
HEREart open call for submissions
Postmark deadline April 30th HEREart Gallery shows are selected by an advisory board that meets annually to review proposals. Our 1200 square foot Main gallery generally features collaborations, group shows, theme shows, and guest curators. The HEREunder Gallery is much smaller (500 square feet) and conducive to small scale solo shows and site-specific installations. Both galleries serve as gathering areas for HERE's theater goers, roughly 400 a day. . Please submit proposals that consider the spaces and their use as public access to HERE's theaters.
Proposals should include information about how you would like to use the space, an approximation of the amount of time it would take to install your exhibition, when your work would be ready to show as well as any specific requirements you foresee for your exhibition. Please limit your responses to 1 page. You may also include a brief artist statement and resume. You don't have to make a proposal-we also review artist's work for inclusion in HEREart curated exhibits.
We will look at slides, photographs, prints, published materials, and vhs videos. We have no restrictions as to the number of visual materials to be submitted with your proposal, but please keep in mind that the advisory board will be reviewing several hundred proposals so succinctness is appreciated (also, please label all of your materials so as not to confuse the panel). If you would like to receive your materials back,YOU MUST INCLUDE AN SASE. Your materials will not be returned without one.
We highly recommend that you visit the gallery and check out several of our exhibits before submitting your work for the panel. It will help you to get a sense of the type of shows that we have and better guage if your work is a good match for our space.
All applicants will be notified about the status of their proposals by the end of June.
Proposals should be sent to
HEREart
attn Libby Hartle and Tim Hailey
