“Fair-Play” brings together five artists who will revive the former ticket booth on Wilhelm-Dörpfeld-Weg between June and November. For some time now, the ticket booths have stood quietly alone, virtually invisible in the distinctive landscape of the Olympic Park – a landscape dominated by piles of rubble and glass roofs. Having served their purpose as ticket offices for the 1972 Summer Games, no further use has been made of these futuristic, brutalist buildings which have stood ever since like alien bodies in the Olympic Parc. However, it‘s this unreal character which makes the ticket booths in particular the perfect stage – a free space for artistic interventions. Five artists will be working at this site, mainly with sound, to explore the abandoned location and to bring it back to life by means of temporary interventions.
Carmen Arias, born in 1999 in Santander, Spain, lives and works in Munich.

Start your engines. It’s happening again.
