Biennale Urbana (
@buurrb ) | ‘Fading Grounds’ | 10–29 August 2026 | Fortress Hohensalzburg, Salzburg, Austria
Fading isn’t loss. It’s transition. A moment when forms, roles, boundaries, and meanings lose definition and something new can emerge.
This workshop doesn’t mourn what’s disappearing. It investigates uncertainty as a generative condition. Fading becomes a device spatial, material, relational from which new forms of coexistence and commoning take shape.
What you’ll do:
→ Act collectively in public space through temporary spatial interventions
→ Sense the spaces where certainty dissolves and relations emerge
→ Engage with different contexts, materials, and public programs
→ Inhabit what is fragile and ephemeral
→ Practice attunement and care through individual exploration and collective experiment
→ Ground commoning through situated practices and shared actions
Three weeks of dialogue, reflection, and spatial negotiation including the possibility of an immersive outdoor experience ->What to bring: Tent, sleeping bag, sleeping mat, weather-appropriate clothing, rubber boots, sturdy shoes, headlamp/flashlight, work gloves, backpack, personal toiletries, water bottle.
This is design as a relational act. Space as continuous negotiation. Fading as common ground.
