WochenKlausur

Vienna-based group WochenKlausur, whose project WochenKlausur Features, New York (USA) is part of the Austrian Cultural Forum's tenth anniversary exhibition, Our Haus, will give an on-site presentation of their work.

From May 20 to May 27, 2012, WochenKlausur will set up an office in the ACFNY Gallery's Upper Mezzanine, where they will organize a series of presentations by New York-based organizations, associations, interest groups, and activists who deal with issues of housing and the urban built environment in New York, such as the Center for Urban Pedagogy and Transportation Alternatives. Following this one-week residency, each one of the organizations that agree to participate can then use the WochenKlausur space as a platform to present their work for the duration of the Our Haus exhibition.

This project presents an overview of the most contemporary theories, positions, and practices with regard to housing and public space in New York.
