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.

For more information email us: transit [AT] transitlounge [DOT] org

The transit lounge is supported by Culturia and the DAZ

23.05.07 19-22:00 LITTLE BABYLONS


1:20 by Tanja Kimme/Ben Milbourne

An open investigation of new methods of collaboration for photographer/artist and architect, the 1:20 project established a conceptual and practical feedback loop: site-artiface-site.Generating hybrid methodologies and highlighting mis-truths hidden in the image.

"Sous les pavés... La plage" by Hugo Moline

A rogue beach pavilion takes to the streets to subvert kapital and urbanism`s unholy alliance of socio-spatial control. But will the people listen? Will anyone come out to play?

26 surf street

I was recently involved documenting this ephemeral intervention project.
A group of 8 artists had the rare opportunity to do whatever they wished with a house, located at 26 Surf Street at Merrick’s Beach in Victoria Australia, only a week before it got demolished. The group had met a few times, and had loosely discussed possible ideas, but there was no common project that necessarily united them. Some members knew the owners of the house, others came to the house as strangers, armed with tools and industrial equipment..
