Synopsis

The 'Zukunft@BPhil' Education Series

SURROGATE CITIES

‘Surrogate Cities, one of Heiner Goebbels’ most popular pieces, is a noisy city panorama with quick cuts, abrupt changes of angle and wild overlapping sounds.’In September 2003, 17 to 20 year-old pupils of the Friedrich-Engels’ grammar school in Reinickendorf, Berlin, turn to the locality Potsdamer Platz. What they see and hear there is the start of an intensive workshop about Heiner Goebbels’ overwhelming ‘SURROGATE CITIES’.Helped by artists like Richard McNicol, Leigh Haas, Simon Stockhausen and Heiner Goebbels, the pupils are prompted to look at and listen to the city afresh and to contribute creatively to the workshop. Its aim is to create an exhibition with a parallel live-sound and video installation.
