REDCAT: Israeli-born, London-based architect Eyal Weizman talks about the architecture of exclusion, violence and control in the occupied territories of the Middle East. Using architecture as an "arena of speculation" about possible futures of Palestine, Weizman deals with how Israeli settlements and military bases can be reused, recycled or re-inhabited by Palestinians, at the moment that it is unplugged from the military and political powers that charge it. Rather than undo the power of what Weizman describes as Israel's architecture of occupation, the project seeks to turn it on its head, reorient and thus liberate its potential. Set up as a collaboration between Weizman, Sandi Hillal and Alessandro Petti in Bethlehem, the project is produced by Eloisa Haudenschild and Steve Fagin, partners in Spare Parts, a division of the haudenschildGarage.
