Loudpaper interventions

Respected blogger and essayist (well respected by me) Mimi Zeiger will be speaking in Sydney tomorrow as part of The Right to the City symposium, which is part of a larger exhibition of architects and artists engaged in critical spatial practice.

Zeiger has run the blog and broadsheet Loudpaper for eons. She will be part of a panel at The Right to the City examining “Tactics for DIY Cities”. She will speak about her interventionist toolkit research – urban interventions being something she has noticed is keeping redundant architects thinking during this U.S. recession.

“Our current recession is inspiring its own strategies and tactics: It’s increasingly a catch-all for a host of urban interventions. This is a trend that I like to describe with a mouthful of a title: Provisional, Opportunistic, Ubiquitous, and Odd Tactics in Guerilla and DIY Practice and Urbanism. With this verbaciousness, I hope to capture the tactical multiplicity and inventive thinking that have cropped up in the vacuum of more conventional commissions.” More at Places
