TRANSIENT SPACES - THE TOURIST SYNDROME
28 August – 10 October 2010
Opening: 27 August, 7pm
The project is concerned with the forms taken by voluntary and
involuntary global mobility and more especially with the connections
between migration and tourism – two of the most significant social and
economic phenomena in contemporary societies. Not least as a result of
the EU expansions of recent years EU citizens are moving across the
continent in increasing numbers, some as migrants, some as tourists and
some as both. The project is aimed at discovering how the various
migratory movements are linked and how they affect one another, as well
as the extent to which new forms and models for work, leisure and
"retirement" or post-working life are emerging in the context of global
socio-economic developments.
