Pursuing work

  Walk in Progress with Oliver Schürer, Rhona Byrne u.a.
  Concept: Markus Bogensberger and Gabu Heindl

  Factory, depot, working-class estate: powerful images of work from 
days of yore. But what are the architectures for networked, immaterial 
or affective labor like? 'Atypical employment', 'outsourcing' and 
'franchising', teleworking, labour migration - these are the buzzwords 
for a changed world of work, directly impacting life concepts, daily 
routines and urban modes of use. At the same time, the city itself is 
changing, too, with inner cities, for example, becoming tourist service 
zones and industrial regions becoming Creative Cities. Urban discourse 
defines new types of city names: Network City, Knowledge City, Serve 
City, Surf City, etc. -  where do we find such fragments within a 
Central European medium-size city like Graz?
