Urban Research:
Call for Artists Exploring Contemporary Urban Space

Urban Research has been a successful program both 
at Directors Lounge Festival and in screenings in 
London, Hannover, Poznan, Freiburg, Essen, 
Dordrecht, St. Petersburg and Berlin. 
International artists present their vision of 
public space and urban landscapes. How is the 
condition of the public realm connected with 
urban space? Can we talk about urbanity as a 
common figure in urban life at all? Has public 
space been replaced by the electronic virtual 
spaces? Or, has public place been bounded, 
forcefully homogenized and "pacified" by 
surveillance and private security forces? Are 
there new developments, definitions and uses that 
make "public space" lively again? Artists find 
challenging views and concepts, or more 
importantly, they question anew the common 
concepts of urbanity.

This is an open call for new work of Urban Research.
The program will be first shown at Directors 
Lounge, Berlin, 11-21 February 2010.
Experimental, documentary, essay, interactive and multi-channel, all welcome.
Please send in a preview DVD of your work.
