Exhibition at the CCCB Barcelona POST-IT City. Occasional Urbanities
from : CCCB | Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona - Spain
13 March – 25 May 2008
Press conference: Wednesday, 12 March, at 12 midday
Opening: Wednesday, 12 March, at 7 p.m.
The Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB) and the Centre d’Art
Santa Mònica (CASM) present the exhibition POST-IT City. Occasional Urbanities.
The exhibition forms part of the POST-IT project, directed by Martí Peran, which
began in 2005 with a series of seminars and workshops at the Centre d’Art Santa
Mònica in Barcelona.
The research project focuses on the temporary uses of public space for
commercial, recreational and sexual activities in cities around the world.
This type of urban practice appears, moves and disappears, like a post-it stuck
on a place that is important in passing but leaves almost no trace. This
phenomenon highlights the different needs and shortcomings that affect certain
groups in particular, and serves to salvage the value of public space.
Research into these types of occasional occupation of the city is based on two
different viewpoints: emergencies that are forced to parasitize public space,
and the capacity of citizens to optimize space, beyond its intended functions.
With this dual perspective as its basis, the exhibition presents the cases of 78
cities as varied as Tel Aviv, Buenos Aires, Hanoi, Santiago de Chile, Bologna
and Barcelona. POST-IT City seeks to explore the phenomenon of occasional
urbanities in their many possible variants, with a view to documenting and
reflecting on them: an industrial estate that becomes a car racing track at
weekends, the use of the city “under construction” for the adventures of
explorer nerds, certain aspects of the squatter phenomenon, the use of waste
land for occasional meetings (a traveller’s camp or a rave), the conversion of
the daytime university city into an area for sexual transactions by night, etc.
This is a project which, with the wealth of parameters involved, presents us
with a series of issues of particular interest for contemporary culture: the
need to create available space, the versatility of the recycling concept, the
emergence of new subjectivities, etc.

POST-IT City Network
The materials that go to form this first Post-it project are informed by a
variety of sources and different working processes. The result is an archive of
case studies, for the most part specially produced for the project. We then got
agents in different world cities involved in the research work to ensure a
hands-on approach and direct knowledge of the place.
To date, some 20 cities have taken part in the project. The agents on site each
have a different profile (formal collective, university group, arts centre,
individual researcher, etc.) and, consequently, their own particular ways of
looking at the phenomenon. This means that there is no single register in the
methodology underlying the archive.
Most of the teams are made up of young researchers. This is essential to the
character of the project, as it demonstrates an explicit preference for the
committed intersection of the different processes of forming, producing and
circulating ideas.
POST IT City Workshop
On 13 March and 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29 April 2008, the exhibition’s consultation
space will be the venue for a cycle of meetings with a view to reflecting on the
condition of contemporary public space. Post-it case studies will be presented
of cities such as Tel Aviv, Buenos Aires, Santiago de Chile and Berlin, with the
participation of international specialists in the field by means of
videoconferencing.
