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

"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

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.

BIOGRAPHY: KRISTINA MATOVIC

Perpetually seduced by the 4 dimensional and captivated by light; immersive environments have evolved. Concerned with the conception and representation of the future - projects investigate the social and psychological ramifications of the evolution of technology and aspire to assist in the positive reconstruction there of. Environments exist and are experienced in the threshold between the external and internal, real and virtual.

Having studied as a graphic designer at Monash University Melbourne, Kristina Matovic devoted her 4th year to the research and development of META_ME, or later know as ISTGAMN (inflatable seat that glows and makes noise). This project was concerned with the negotiation of duel realities and manifest as a seating ‘device’ that utilized methods of physical isolation. META_ME was shown at Technikunst: Flesh vs Machine and further exhibitions and collaborations developed including: Two Point Two, Nextwave – Containers Project and the opening of Liquid Architecture 7.
