»Urban Voids« is an invitation to engage with the devaluation and revaluation of space through an allegorical reading of gaps, ruptures, and open situations in the urban fabric. Conceived as an abstract and loose travel guide through an imaginary city, it associates images that are characterized by lack or error in a broader sense with terms like “euphoria”, “investment”, or “melancholy” – stimulating a reflection on the “terrain vague” of our cities: the diffuse spaces between and within.
Diana Artus is a Berlin based artist and writer, especially interested in the perception of urban space. In 2000 she received a Magister Artium Degree in German Literature and Language at University of Leipzig and in 2007 a diploma in Photography at HGB. She participated in international exhibitions and residency programmes, amongst others at ISCP New York, Seoul Art Space Geumcheon, Kunsthalle Exnergasse Vienna, n.b.k. Berlin, Fabra i Coats Barcelona, La Casa Encendida Madrid and Hectoliter Brussels.
