Post-it Cities
The project looks at different overlapping uses of urban territory, focusing on the
viewpoints offered by architecture, town planning and the visual arts. "Post-it
Cities" seeks to explore the phenomenon by means of the ephemeral cities that infect
the everyday city with uncoded, temporary, anonymous uses, with an implicitly critical
approach.
PRESENTATION:
Post-it Cities aims to explore the many differing variations of the phenomenon as a basis
for documentation and reflection: an industrial estate that becomes an illegal race
circuit at weekends, the use of the building-site city for the adventures of explorer
nerds, variants of the squatter phenomenon, the use of different wastelands for occasional
meetings (nomad camp, rave), the conversion of a daytime campus into an night-time area of
sexual transactions, etc.
This project brings together a series of parameters that provide particularly interesting
themes for contemporary culture: the need to create available spaces, the versatility of
the recycling concept, the emergence of new forms of subjectivity, etc.
This exhibition forms part of the project of the same name organized jointly with the
Centre d'Art Santa Mònica and directed by Martí Perán.
