House Magic: The European squatted social centers movement

January 19, 2010 - 6:00pm - 8:00pm EST
Hi everyone,

This Tuesday is an event in a year-long series of weekly conversations  
and exhibits in 2010 focusing on examples of Plausible Artworlds.

This week Alan Moore will join us in person to talk about the research  
project and exhibition House Magic: Bureau of Foreign Correspondence,  
which will be opening at Basekamp the same night.

House Magic: Bureau of Foreign Correspondence is a first step in a  
project to explore squatted social centers in Europe. The social  
center was a key feature of the Italian Autonomist movement of the  
1970s and 80s. Squats on the Lower East Side of New York City borrowed  
elements of English and German social centers, including cafes,  
infoshops, performance spaces and art galleries. Across Europe, social  
centers became important organizing foci of the global justice  
movement during the first decade of the new century. House Magic will  
present this important movement through an accumulation of printed  
material, videos and public events.
