Adam Page
Hertzsch & Page's projects reflect the hierarchies that characterise urban living space. Their field of action is public space. Through co-operation with citizens, their aim is to expand participation in artistic processes in new social contexts. Their "FOR SALE" project in Dresden-Prohlis in 2006 created sustainability and was continued by residents as the neighbourhood forum IDEE 01239. Since 2006, they have been equipping young Berliners with knowledge about participation in socio-political processes and sustainable urban design. Initiated by Hertzsch & Page, pupils in Neukölln produced news programmes, designed models, visited community projects in London, gave lectures to experts, took part in an ideas workshop and started to redesign their school forecourt.
Including participation in exhibitions at documenta X (Page only) and context-related projects in Dresden ("Info Offspring" kiosk) and Berlin ("Neukölln World 44" betting office at Okkupation and "U10 - from here to the imaginary and back", NGBK / BVG).
