• Themed programs on Urban Development and Public Space curated by Klaus W. Eisenlohr

Urban space is under rapid change. The city has long played a predominant role in the work of artists, the city as image, as ideal, as Moloch, as source of joy and social destruction, and not least as icon of Modernity. The increased dynamic of urban development - either as Shrinking Cities or exploding Megacities - urges for new concepts and a rethinking of urban space. Contemporary architectural and social impacts on urban developments and public space have become a theme for many artists. The collection of short films comprises documentary, experimental and intermediate forms.
Urban Research on Film is an ongoing film and video screening project selected by Klaus W. Eisenlohr for Directors Lounge in Berlin.

Urban Research • Directors Lounge 2007 • curated by Klaus W. Eisenlohr

Urban Research presents artists and filmmakers who address the progress of urbanity and who are concerned with urban space and public space in their work:
Artists who use their own original language, experimental work, documentary, animation or essay together create a discourse on the contemporary city. Multi-channel and installation work will complement each other.

Urban Research • Directors Lounge 2006 • february 9-19 • Berlin

Urban space is under rapid change. The city has long played a predominant role in the work of artists, the city as image, as ideal, as Moloch, as source of joy and social destruction, and not least as icon of Modernity. With the increased dynamic of city development however - either as Shrinking Cities or exploding Megacities - more and more artists take up the issue of urban development and adopt urban space and public space as their theme.
