NEW LIFE BERLIN is a contemporary art festival dedicated to new modes of moving and existing. NEW LIFE BERLIN is curated from the participatory art community www.wooloo.org, and will take place in Berlin between 1st and 15th June 2008. In addition to the published program, the curators invite members of the online community to participate throughout the festival itself. By building participation into the program (while still retaining curatorial control), NEW LIFE BERLIN investigates the much discussed online community. How effective is this community? What binds this community together? What does 'community' mean today? Presenting projects from both artistic and sociological starting points, NEW LIFE BERLIN uses group participation to explore real-life cultural mobility. NEW LIFE BERLIN is an entirely artist-run festival. WOOLOO.ORG has chosen Berlin as the festival location because of its growing position as the preferred meeting place for cultural practitioners from around the world. Constantly exchanging experiences, ideas, and knowledge with other like-minded individuals within (and far from) the urban confines of the city, the artists of Berlin are forming and fortifying new human collectives that transcend the boundaries of citizenship or nationality. In this way, the city's artistic communities are building important models for understanding how new kinds of mobile, global networks are being established today. NEW LIFE BERLIN directly engages the effects of our unprecedented 21st century mobility and treats the exhibition venue itself as a network of past and future sites. Utilizing public spaces and soon-to-be-developed real estate for festival presentations, NEW LIFE BERLIN has taken up the challenge of connecting the transnational resources of WOOLOO.ORG with the physical geography of Berlin to address the mechanisms of globalization. In contrast to traditional art festivals and biennials, our aim is not to represent a set of cultural conclusions, but to create a model for a fluid cultural landscape. We invite you to join us in this challenge, and to participate in the projects that make up NEW LIFE BERLIN.
