Abstract
Abstract
In this essay, Louis Volont explores the political potency of ‘common space’ through the work of the Berlin-based architecture collective Raumlabor. The ambiguous relationship between artistic practice and political action will be assessed in Raumlabor’s projects of ‘JuniPark’ and ‘Floating University’. Finally, illegality and ambiguity are suggested as levers for the further politicisation of activist artistic practice.
