UNWETTER  Discursive Picnic, Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin, invited by Sparwasser HQ 

As part of Architecture Week 2007 the Hinterland Project invites UNWETTER for a Discursive picnic along the banks of the River Trent. The people of Nottingham are invited to join them, as they try to discover though discussion, the change of the landscape in Nottingham and what a new arts centre might bring; methods of creating art outside a gallery environment; the regeneration of the city, (esp. riverside area) and how this may affect artists.

The picnic, along the banks of the historical river, will investigate the geographical site where ancient ferry crossings meet modern structures and buildings. It will conclude with an exploratory walk into the city to take a look at the physical manifestations of some of the afternoon’s discussions.
