The Last Chapter _ Trace Route : Remapping Global Cities

takes a synchronic approach to the theme of the city-tracing the route of change, mapping global simultaneities, and bringing momentary focus to a shifting and changing Asia . Participating artists' workshops and on-site projects have connected between cities in Asia, Europe and the Americas . By collaborating with various cultural institutions and residency programs at alternative spaces in relevant cities, this project aims to generate both creativity and new discourses through artists' activities. The results and records of this process will manifest in this exhibition.



Europe: Berlin – Paris – Amsterdam/Rotterdam – Copenhagen – Vilnius

Curated by : Cristina Ricupero

Facing cultural and ethnic diversity as a source not of conflict but of revival and enrichment, the artists from the European section will show projects and ideas that are recreating city landscapes along the axis of dynamic interaction that links former symbols of the Cold War like Berlin and Vilnius to the more traditional cultural capitals such as Paris, Copenhagen, Amsterdam/Rotterdam. They will deal with timely issues such as: mental and concrete walls; intercultural communication; nationalism and xenophobia, etc.
