Archiving an urban exploration – MR NICE GUY, cooking oil drums, sterile blister packs and uncanny bikinis

Abstract

This article reflects on a performative workshop that was conducted by the artist collective, zURBS. The workshop sent the participants into the city to look for objects and material traces of social practices in order to explore questions relating to the legibility of the urban environment. Harriet observes the workshop from a participant’s perspective, whereas Cecilie discusses it as a facilitator of the workshop.
