Announcement of the location after registration

An open square. A public square. A large, wide square. To have space, to have room. Spaces. Spaces that could be filled. Spaces that were full. Empty urban space.
Urban space is scarce. It’s getting denser. Space has to be made again. Empty space, empty space which could be filled. Place. Places that are blocked. Blocked in. Parking spaces. Missing. Places that are missing. Missing space. Out of place. Empty places, empty spaces. Bleak or the highest good.

For BETON Berlin 11 in cooperation with the Project Space Festival, Joshua Zielinski will engage with an area of public space in Berlin-Friedrichshain and thematize its latently existing emptiness.

His temporary intervention for this site is directly linked to a kind of palpable and imposing absence and reflects on the spatial, social and historical background of the space and the connections to current urban development in Berlin. The site serves not only as a location and basis for his intervention, but is also a discursive space between past, present and future.
