beautiful lights in a beautiful park

beautiful lights in a beautiful park, originally uploaded by thefuturistics.

the slogan for gropiusstadt was light, air and, and...eh, something else beneficial to large groups of people lumped into cheap housing

cheap housing good enough for Christiane F and her mother. I didn't really see much of Christiane's world in Neukölln.....

The residency program offers artists a week in an apartment on the 8th floor. A week. That about says everything about the residency. Most of the works on show were dealing with the same issues of architecture, city-planning, utopian ideals, race, and so on, but only on the surface. Ideas aren't allowed to fester, so the works turn out similar and bland. Presentation sucked as well, but I guess you have to show to as much activity as possible to maintain support.

Beautiful park.
