Field Trip is an exhibition organised by the Austrian Cultural Forum London as part of this year’s London Festival of Architecture, 19 June – 20 July 2010. The project takes the theme of the ‘welcoming city’ literally and has selected a number of young architects, graduates and architecture students, artists, poets or writers and sent them on a trip to different cities in Austria. Each participant will bring back memorabilia and material that can be presented in the form of drawings, sound works, models, films or writing which explore different qualities of the visited cities. In addition to these commissioned works, a series of historical documents from past field trips will create a rich tapestry of present and past, portraying the cities, but also the shifting preoccupations of those who visit them. Field Trip will have its own website and a series of events, talks and seminars will accompany the exhibition.
