"House Magic: Bureau of Foreign Correspondence"
is a first step in a project to explore squatted
social centers in Europe. The social center was a
key feature of the Italian Autonomist movement of
the 1970s and 80s. Squats on the Lower East Side
of New York City borrowed elements of English and
German social centers, including cafes,
infoshops, performance spaces and art galleries.
Across Europe, social centers became important
organizing foci of the global justice movement
during the first decade of the new century. House
Magic will present this important movement
through an accumulation of printed material,
videos and public events.
Public events will be held from April 21 through May 7

On that occasion "ARCHIV kultur & soziale
bewegung" comissioned documentary videos from the
squats Forde (Geveva) and La Générale (Paris),
and the filmmakers came up to Berlin to discuss
their perspectives with the NewYorck actvists,
and collectively tackle this broader question:
are 'contemporary art" and democracy
irreconcilably at odds?
