ImprovEverywhere are doing public performances, what they call missions. In this experiment they let some 200 “Agents” freeze for 5 minutes in New Yorks Grand Central, and gain some awesome footage from it.

You can participate in a lot of missions for example in the mp3 experiments where particpants follow instructions from an mp3 file in a public gathering place.

Check out the full list of performances and experiments at ImprovEverywhere

Eine Situation, die allerorts bekannt ist: Wunderschöne industrielle Bauten der Moderne, jedoch nicht bekannt genug um bei Investoren Interesse für eine Instandsetzung zu wecken.
Diesmal in Dessau. Die Gebäude der Junkalor-Werke wird es evtl. könnten bald abgerissen werden. Ein Verlust, wie nicht nur ich finde: Der Berliner Architekturhistoriker Andreas Butter macht nun in einem offenen Brief auf die Situation aufmerksam und bittet Fachkreise dies auch zu tun.
