Next Tuesday 11/11/2008 the DETROIT UNREAL ESTATE AGENCY will become operational at the Durtch Art Institute in Enschede.
DUEA is a curatorial project, which re-values the city of Detroit and the practices it’s made up by. The project is a collaboration between Partizan Publik, Femke Lutgerink, Andrew Herscher and Mireille Roddier.
The title of the first workshop is:
MARKET EXPLORATION
As with the real estate market we intend to do a demand and supply analysis of Detroit’s unreal estate as a way of understanding, engaging with and imagining the city. Focusing on the intangible value or the cultural significance of a place we will explore practices and experiences, which make up everyday life. Examples to think of are art practices, architecture, homeless life, hip hop culture, museums, house music, health services, religious practices and labor patterns.
Day Program 10:30–18:00
Exclusively for participants of Detroit Unreal Estate Agency
