Introduction
SPACE SHUTTLE is a multifunctional structure, a scaled replica of PS² Project Space in Donegall Street, Belfast. Approx.12m² internally, this portacabin type module is sent into ‘orbit’ for six missions, each at significant locations in Belfast. For up to two weeks, interdisciplinary artists/initiatives and (community) organizations will use the device as a platform for urban creativity and social interaction.
SPACE SHUTTLE can be used as an onsite work base, as office/meeting point for activities, as a creative laboratory or non- profit use in order to create- with the participation of the residents and social environment- new and site influenced work. All ‘mission’ findings will be documented in a publication along with an exhibition back at mother ship - Project Space.
