Geography is a method of inquiry into how space is produced. In his seminal work 'The Production of Space' geographer/philosopher Henri Lefebvre describes the social production of space, referring to the intimate relationship between space and human activities. We create spaces which in turn create us. Mechanisms of power, economics, culture, history and science influence the type of spaces we create, what they look like and what takes place inside them. Current methods of map making, such as Google Earth, create different possibilities for image making and virtually exploring spaces. However, as in any case involving maps, what does the map show and what does it not?

Contemporary artists are incorporating geographic and cartographic methods in ways that are cross-disciplinary, bringing together architecture, journalism, design, archeology, sociology, and activism and producing diverse outcomes that range from texts, site-specific interventions, tours, maps, sound and video art, photographs, sculptures, works on paper or performances.

Arbeidsform:
Through a series of artistic and theoretical lectures, screenings, onsite explorations and student-driven research, this workshop is intended to introduce participants to different strategies for describing, understanding and interpreting space. Participants will produce a group work where a focused geographical reading of the cultural space of the KHIB will be made. Information will be generated through online and onsite research will be brought together using different methods including photography, works on paper, three-dimensional modeling, tours, walks, interviews and performances. A blog will be set up and maintained during the workshop.

Born in Canada, Michelle Teran is a media artist currently living and working in Berlin. Within her practice she is interested in the relation of the body, physical space and media. She explores the interplay between the social, the physical and the mediated within the urban environment and creates performances, installations and online works.She is currently realising the site-specific project The City is Creative for BALTAN LABORATORIES in Eindhoven.
In her previous works, such as Life: A User's Manual, Friluftskino: Experiments in Open Air Surveillance Cinema, Exploration #5 and LiveForm Telekinetics: LFTK, she has used participatory performance, live installation and outdoor projection as urban interventionist strategies that explored the ontologies of hybrid urban spaces created through the overlaying of communication and audio and video networks with the built spaces of the city and that involved direct audience engagement. These projects involve working within different locations, social and cultural contexts and are the direct results of occupying these spaces and cultivating these exchanges. She has exhibited and presented in Europe, North America, Australia and Asia and has been the recipient of numerous grants and awards.
