Academy: Berlin 2004
FAKELORE - Constructions and Inventions of Urban Folklore
<?/x-tad-bigger><?x-tad-bigger>August 30th - September 19th

In teaching sessions, practical tasks, field research, activities, and 
presentations,<?x-tad-bigger><?/x-tad-bigger> Mobile Academy 
<?/x-tad-bigger><?x-tad-bigger>will investigate some of the critically 
lacerated slogans that we associate with 
<?/x-tad-bigger><?x-tad-bigger>fakelore<?/x-tad-bigger><?x-tad-bigger>: 
identity, authenticity, collective authorship, national values, handicrafts 
etc., and travestize them in an (artistic) operable process. The result 
will be dramatic scenes, musical performances, advertisements, staged tours 
of the city, video clips, radio plays, and interventions in the urban space.
