New publication
CITY VIEWS
A photo project: migrant perspectives
Martin Krenn

In cooperation with city dwellers of migrant backgrounds in Vienna, Graz,
Warsaw, Ljubljana, Brest, Helsingborg, London and Newcastle the artist
Martin Krenn developed a procedural photo-text production, which is now also
available in the form of a print publication. City Views draft an urban map
of views of traumatic and conflictual zones in the cities. It is about
viewing sites of power, but also of self-assertion and resistance - often
subverting or distorting the perspective of the majority. The articles by
Marina Grzinic, Stefan Nowotny, Gerald Raunig and Rubia Salgado discuss
examples of specific sites that are occupied and perceived as emancipatory,
such as Metelkova in Ljubljana or the Universal Embassy in Brussels, and
develop a critical discourse on how to position participatory art practices
and the possibility of a cooperation of artists and migrants in order to
create "changed realities".
