WORKSHOP PARTICIPANTS ARE INVITED TO RESPOND & ADD TO THE LISTED POSTS OR CREATE NEW POSTS

More about the workshop: Fusing practical and conceptual concerns, this one-day workshop with Emma Cocker and Nikolaus Gansterer investigated how the performative practices of wandering, waiting, drawing, writing and reading can operate as creative ‘tactics’ or methods for navigating or negotiating space differently to expectation, convention or habit. By mapping or diagramming how spatial relations are organized and orchestrated within various public spaces, workshop participants were encouraged to devise ways through which to draw attention to or even interrupt these habitual social patterns or flows. The workshop explored and tested how invitations, instructions or even drawn scores can be used to activate different ways of navigating or traversing public space, producing temporary and experimental forms of connectivity and social interaction

1 euro 10


This is a project I´ve done 5 years ago in Innsbruck/Tyrol.
I want to share this, because I think it kind of fits to the topic.


I made an experiment at the trainstation in the citycenter. I wanted to know what will happen if I put an orange chair in front of an escalator .
It was really surprising, cause out of a reason somebody started to put money on the chair. People follwoed this example and after some time there where 1 Euro 10 collected.

There is also a video,but I wasn´t able to upload it. It´s on www.nicoleweniger.com under "projects" --> 1 euro 10.
