Based on an interactive and continuously growing online archive that is generated by the inhabitants of a place, urbanilgrims.org (a project by Angela Dorrer) researches individual stories of urban space and interweaves them with real space - guided tours in public using performance/ gesture/sound, photographs, as well as discussions with guests/audiences and an installation. On an online questionnaire and map of the city visitors are asked about their personal experiences in relation to specific locations of their choice. Naturally, and through the accumulation of answers, issues of power relationships, space structures, image production and forms of urban appropriation will be addressed. The results of the questionnaire-responses will be structured according to different key-words to easily facilitate access to the information. The questionnaire is adapted throughout the project and tailored to specific issues that want to be addressed by the community. Individual experiences become a public field which generates a new cartography of the place.

Saturday, June 2 (4 PM - 7 PM) Angela Dorrer’s 3rd Urban Pilgrimage.

Meeting point: Blumberg, Blumberggasse 20, 1160 Vienna.

Bowling in a Koglers installation, meeting frantically performing Johannes Grenzfurthner, visiting the exile library, eating Klimt-Schnitzel, drinking Hundert-Wässerchen out of scallops and more. We do the pilgrimage with Megaphon accompagnied by Peters exquisite music selection. Guest: Elke Krasny. the tour ends at Stephansplatz.

The pilgrimages adopt the form of the traditional religious pilgrimage - a journey with several stations. They are a combination of a guided art-tour, punctuated with discussion, performative gesture, and occasionally specific food or music.
