13 students from the Master-of-Fine-Arts Program "Public Art and New Artistic Strategies“ of the Bauhaus-University Weimar in Germany present the outcome of their working process in the area of the 13th district which is currently undergoing reconstruction and gentrification. Invited by the Betonsalon to research and react on the neighbourhood surrounding the artspace, students from Colombia, China, Germany, Greece, Holland, Ireland, Mexico, Israel, Austria, Taiwan and the United States explored this newly constructed part of the city for 10 days. Through a series of temporary interventions the students met with inhabitants, investigated aspects of public health and interacted with their surroundings. Their works reflect upon the urban developments in this area of the city, on a multiplicity of viewpoints and changing macro and microscopic perspectives.
