London: The Oubliette Arthouse

Großartiges Guerilla-Projekt in London: “The Oubliette Arthouse is a new and pioneering form of arts venue that promotes emerging artists through the reutilisation of empty space. Our independent arts programme showcases emerging talent, with an emphasis on the innovative and avant-garde. The Arthouse does not compete for public or private sector funding, but enjoys total financial self sufficiency, principally through revenue streams generated by donations, service and industry. With no extramural objectives or targets, and liberated from institutional regulation, our bottom-line is creative freedom.” Mehr auch hier. Via: Mail

StudioSuperniche: The Blue Fence Project

Das Londoner Designer- und Architektenkollektiv StudioSuperniche wehrt sich gegen den Zaun der Olympischen Spiele 2012 und hat bereits alternative Nutzungskonzepte entwickelt: “The plywood hoarding is currently being taken down and replaced with a high security wire mesh fence. StudioSuperniche sees this as an opportunity. We are developing an Olympic Legacy Toolkit, the beginning of a catalogue of temporary structures to be fabricated out of the blue plywood, designed to facilitate local occupation of the site post-Games, activate the vacant plots and allow communities to reclaim the vast empty landscape as their own. Focusing on the niche user-groups of London’s Lower Lea Valley – from bird-watchers to market stall-holders, allotment keepers to model boaters – this collection of urban furniture will populate the site in the wake of the Games, offering a provisional set of tools to stimulate an evolutionary model of local participatory development.” Mehr Bilder hier, via
