Mobile Studios workshop at Forum Goethe-Institut in Berlin from 17th-19th february 2006

Thanks to our co-producers and lecturers who made the long trip to Berlin our Mobile Studios workshop became an important cornerstone in the further development of the curatorial program in the different cities. We also want to thank our host, the Forum Goethe-Institut, for their commitment and help.

This workshop was divided into two days. The first day was open for the public, for their feedbacks and comments but also for very inspiring lectures from the field of networks, mobility and an overview on the public art tradition in South Eastern Europe. The second day of this workshop was dedicated to internal discussions amongst our co-producers, curators and the Public Art Lab team.
