Can Masdeu (Barcelona, Spain) - http://www.canmasdeu.net/ The website is in Spanish. This is the beginning of the Wikipedia site on them. Can Masdeu became famous in [|April 2002], when over 100 national police came to evict and 11 squatters defended the house in positions of passive resistance. Unable to remove the squatters from lockdowns, tripods, on ropes and planks extended out of windows, and even a hanging bathtub, the police waited for the squatters to get thirsty and hungry and come down. After three days of media attention, hundreds of protesting onlookers chanting slogans and stopping traffic on the local highway, and even a solidarity group organising a sit-in in the Spanish Embassy in Holland, the judge ordered the police to leave and the case reopened.
 * Can Masdeu** is a [|squatted][|[1]] [|social centre] in the valley of San Genis, part of the [|Collserola Park] in [|Barcelona]. It was squatted by an international group of activists in December 2001, and the terraces surrounding the //masia// (country mansion) are cultivated by neighbors who live in the neighborhood below, Nou Barris.

As of 2007, more than 28 people live in and share the house. Community participation includes bi-weekly meetings, organic gardening, housework, and two collective meals per day, and each member contributes roughly 25 euros/month to food costs. DK

//Los Carpinteros - Havana, Cuba// /// Center for Land Use Interpretation - Culver City, CA; www.clui.org The Center for Land Use Interpretation is a research organization involved in exploring, examining, and understanding land and landscape issues. The Center employs a variety of methods to pursue its mission - engaging in research, classification, extrapolation, and exhibition. Intro from their website. [|EXHIBITS] The Center produces public exhibits on land use themes and issues for galleries and museums, and for exhibition in CLUI spaces in Los Angeles and elsewhere. Regional exhibits focus on land use within a defined geographic area, such as a state or neighborhood. Thematic exhibits are usually national in scope, and examine a particular land use phenomena or issue. [|TOURS] The Center conducts guided tours for public and private groups. Usually these tours are led by the CLUI on video-equipped buses, as part of a CLUI Exhibition Program. The Center can be commissioned to conduct specialized tours for educational organizations, if scheduling permits. [|INDEPENDENT INTERPRETERS] The Independent Interpreters program is an ongoing series of presentations by selected artist and researchers whose work might be of special interest to the CLUI audience. These presentations are in the form of an evening lecture with slides or films, or as an exhibition of material, and sometimes both. [|EXTRAPOLATIVE PROJECTS] The Center engages in a number of interpretive projects in the field that are designed to draw meaning from land use sites and phenomena. Many of these projects represent extensions of traditional interpretive techniques, and are designed to expand the methodology into new fronts.
 * Los Carpinteros** //is the name of a group of young Cuban artists that specializes in creating humorous installations and objects. It was originally comprised of three artists, but the group was reduced to two in 2004. There is no specific website for this group. They are active in galleries and have exhibited in their native land, Europe and North America. "We really use **Havana** to speak of other things,” say the artists. Interesting group!!! DK//

[|THEMATIC PROGRAM AREAS] Thematic Program Areas are subject categrories that have been selected for extended research and examination by the CLUI. Selected themes are studied in an ongoing manner, with findings periodically presented to the public in the form of publications, lectures, exhibits, or other programs. [|RESIDENCE PROGRAM] The Center operates a residence program to support the development of new interpretive methodologies and ideas. The program is open to artists, researchers, theorists, or anyone who works with land and land use issues in an innovative and engaging manner. Residents primarily work out of the CLUI facilities at Wendover, Utah, and explore and interpret the landscape of that remarkable desert region. [|PUBLICATIONS] The Center publishes guidebooks, catalogs, and other books addressing land use issues. These publications, as well as selected titles from other publishers, are available through the CLUI store in Los Angeles and at our online shop. The Center also publishes a newsletter, The Lay of the Land, which is distributed to interested parties worldwide. I am really excited about this group!! I included the project list. DK //

Students then work with CUP staff to create educational projects to solidify and spread their knowledge and understanding to the general public. Our projects use art, design, and technology to draw the connections between everyday life and the decisions that give it form. Yes! What a concept to use the city as a text, to learn about and from.

COLAB (Collaborative Projects, Inc.) (started in 1978) – NY, NY; collaborativeprojectsarchive.wikispaces.com 'Colab is the commonly used abbreviation of the New York City artists' group Collaborative Projects.'' Colab was formed in 1978 after a series of open meetings. Throughout its over ten years of activity, Colab was distinguished from contemporary New York artists' groups by its regular open meetings and open membership. Early group media efforts for cable TV included a weekly live call in show with non-fiction material called the All Color News in 1978. The group's numerous accomplishments include the New Cinema screening room for punk and no wave films (1979); the Times Square Show, a large open exhibition near the center of New York's entertainment district (1980); support and inspiration for the ABC No Rio cultural center (1980-82; ABC is ongoing); Potato Wolf artists' television series (1978-1984); and MWF Video Club (est'd 1986). Members of the group presently pursue archival projects like this. A simultaneous project is the evolving Wikipedia entry on [|Colab]. Check out the wiki!

Mainly involved in architecture, particularly in spaces that are not owned, wasteland, or a part of some sort of festival. It began with five artists initially Nicolas Henninger, François Wunschel, Phillipe Rizzotti, Pier Schneider and Gilles Burban, but has expanded to 20 more architects, graphic designers, djs, chefs, etc. They don't appear to inhibited by any location but seem to be based in France. "Experiment. Architecture can expand into a transdisciplinary field, where new tools can be explored. Our current recipe : marinate construction with video, music, graphic design, photography and gastronomy, without forgetting to leave space for interaction, freedom, informality and unpredictability. Our projects can result in spatial video games, architectural buildings, musical environments and/or thematic food feasts."
