Tracing Spaces LAB at Nordwest Station Vienna
Tuesday, October 23, from 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm
=20

A guided tour by Michael Hieslmair and Michael Zinganel leading through =
the area of Nordwestbahnhof, including the Ready Made Museum of a local =
props rental and the current exhibition in the Tracing Spaces project =
room.

in cooperation with Volkskundemuseum Wien (Museum of Ethnography Vienna)


Tracing Spaces produced a small historical and ethnographic exhibition =
in a project space on site. Interviews by logistics experts working on =
site, photos, plans and models of the history of construction, as well =
as artefacts from everyday logistics will bring the eventful history and =
present of this last logistics node in Vienna to the attention of a =
wider public, before the site will soon have to give way to a new =
residential area.

The project space serves as a communication and collection container in =
the centre of the research field, and the continuous presence of the =
researchers on site serves as a strategy to win the trust of experts in =
everyday mobility and logistics, whose objects and narratives =
successively condense the exhibition.

The fully cleared warehouse of Props & Co., one of the intermediate =
users on the site, on the other hand, represents a magnificent Ready =
Made Museum, whose extremely dense collection of artefacts of all kinds, =
which are used for film equipment, represents an enormous arsenal of =
imaginations.


Meeting point: "Am Tabor" stop on tram lines 2 and 5
Registration: office@tracingspaces.net

In the framework of: Stadt in Bewegung. Zum Abschied eines =
Logistik-Areals
the exhibition will be open until December 20, 2018
