Floating e.v launches an open call for urban practitioners. Berlin-based positions (individuals and groups) are invited to apply for a six month residency on and with the basin. Proposals should engage directly with the site of the Floating University and with the city of Berlin at large while they question, challenge and expand the notion of urban practice.  From performance to walks, urban games to sculpture, installations to projections, texts to podcasts, research-based, process-based, perhaps open to participation, perhaps facing the public on site.
