hosts a series of workshops run by STEALTH (the architects Ana Dzokic and Marc Neelen, Belgrade / Rotterdam) as part of the interdisciplinary project TEASING MINDS (9 October - 14 November 2004). The aim is to dissect Munich's clichéd image of traditional conservatism and to expose its 'imperfect', often hidden, side of parallel cultural scenes and networks.
The workshops will take a detailed look at Munich's collectives and networks by using methods borrowed from science and other areas. Each weekend the topic is thoroughly explored in discussion with the collectives themselves and the participants, as well as through lectures held by experts from various fields: Mario Campanella will talk on street trade simulation software (9 October), Marko Sancanin on the reuse of abandoned and vacant spaces for cultural purposes in
Zagreb (23 October) and Miran Bozicevic will speak about swarm intelligence initiatives and on building networks scientifically (6 November). A final presentation on Sunday 14 November will bring all the results together.

9 - 22 October - SOUNDING
23 October - 5 November - MODELLING
6 - 7 November - ENGINEERING
14 November - FINAL PRESENTATION

All workshop sessions start at 11 am and take place at Kunstverein München.
