Description
Werkstatt Wendorf is a countryside heterotopia: an open attempt to shift reality and view society from a different angle. Literally translated, heterotopia are places in a state of being different, places of Otherness. They are interested in the heterotopic character of spaces and language, in how the use of different words, objects and spaces can change the world we live in. If you have a project that you feel fits in with this philosophy and you think the countryside is a good place to practice solemn concentration, please send a short proposal.

Location
The village of Wendorf is situated in North-East-Germany, between Hamburg and Berlin. In a landscape midst of woods, lakes and wide fields, with some beautiful old trees. The human population used to be outnumbered by cranes and geese, beavers, foxes, wild boars and badgers, deer and chickens. Now locals start to get outnumbered by investors, golfplaces, holiday guests and holiday resorts. Artists are welcome to live in the midst of this anthropocenic gentrification process. Public transport: schoolbuses, during holidays on wednesdays and fridays only. Flextaxi/bussystem: Rufbus (www.vlp-lup.de) to be reserved in advance, with connections to nearest trainstations: Blankenberg (Meckl) and Crivitz.
They expect residents to help with keeping the coworkingspaces lively, social (Kentucky coffeebar) and clean.
