It’s conceived as a space not bound to a specific geographic location with iterations taking place in various forms in different contexts.

Steven Warwick is an artist, musician and writer living and working in Berlin. His practice is paradigmatic of an interdisciplinary approach that encompasses theatre-making and DJing along with art, music and writing.
