TEGEL: SPECULATIONS AND PROPOSITIONS

Edited by Jaspar Joseph-Lester, Susanne Prinz, Julie Westerman

Over a period of eighteen months a selected group of international artists and writers focused their attention on Tegel Airport. They observed how it is used, they engaged in new activities and imagined how the building might function in the future. This book and DVD is the outcome of what might be described as an open-ended enquiry and, as such, embodies new perspectives and approaches to the problem of urban renewal, regeneration, social organisation, mobility and the legacy of modernist architecture. This approach to site is central to imagining how art practice can slow down, re-orientate and redefine the successive cycle of masterplans and regeneration schemes so that we can begin to consider what is at stake in the spaces that we occupy
