The transit lounge is the archetypal transit space, the point where the hyper-global + hyper-local coincide; a location which blurs traditional conceptions of geo-political boundaries, creating pockets of international space within the borders of individual nation-states. An in-between space, it exists relative to a fixed departure and arrival point, not to the area that surrounds it.

The Transit Lounge is a series of overlapping residencies for Australian and German artists and architects in Berlin. It is also a blog where themes relating to the project will develop, collaborations will be initiated and sustained, and observations on the city collected. The Transit Lounge invites you to participate in these transnational conversations by commenting on the blog.

The transit lounge is supported by Culturia and the DAZ

"With regards to the theme of space, the transit space serves as
place of origin of a new reality.
It is the niche from which new places can grow. The transit space is
also something primary and third."
Franz Xaver Baier

Spacial interventions at the Josetti Höfe exteriors. Transformation
of passages into sequences.
Internal and external border determination. Threshold and passage.
Image and image-copy.


"Auf das Thema Raum bezogen ist Zwischenraum der Ursprungsort neuer
Wirklichkeit.

Er ist die `Nische´aus der neue Räume wachsen. Der Zwischenraum ist
auch etwas Erstes und Drittes zugleich."
Franz Xaver Baier

Räumliche Interventionen im Aussenraum der Josetti-Gewerbehöfe;
Transformation der Durchgänge als Raumsequenz;

Grenzfindung von Außen und Innen – Schwelle und
Durchlass – Bild und
Abbild.
