The TRANSIT LOUNGE is the archetypal transit space, the point where the hyper-global + hyper-local coincide; a location which blurs traditional conceptions of geo-political boundaries, creating pockets of international space within the borders of individual nation-states. An in-between space, it exists relative to a fixed departure and arrival point, not to the area that surrounds it.

TRANSIT LOUNGE 2008 - BERLIN-MELBOURNE-SYDNEY

In 2008, TRANSIT LOUNGE begins in TRUDE, Calvino's ubiquitous city of tourism. From the 16th of January, TRUDE will be found between the cities of Berlin, Melbourne, Sydney, as the artists collaborate remotely on the evolution of a complex, emergent structure.

The multitude of inputs, exchanges, and disruptions will be distilled in an exhibition which opens in Berlin at PROGRAM on the 31st January, 2008 to coincide with transmediale.08. Here the variations will continue to multiply as the process is augmented by the actions of visitors to the space.

TRANSIT LOUNGE is a partner event of transmediale.08 CONSPIRE...

TRANSIT LOUNGE would like to thank the Australia Council for their support.
