Item Parks & Passages: Recent Ruins in Connected Capitals, Provisonal Research Journal, A Provisions Library Journal, Volume 1, Issue 1(Provisions Library, 2013) Sherman, Stephanie; Russell, Don; Garvey, Drew; Farber, Paul; Endress, Edgar; Huckenpahler, James; Jordan, PamIn June 2012, Provisions Library sent four DC-based creative researchers to Berlin to source ideas for the Dupont Underground, an abandoned streetcar station and tunnel beneath Dupont Circle in the heart of Washington DC. Their creative process and research projects culminated in an exhibition at the Goethe-Institut DC. The exhibition considered the poetics, politics, and possibilities of public development in these uncannily connected capitals. This publication compiles their ideas, principles, challenges and concepts, offering examples for any efforts seeking to resurrect abandoned infrastructures in the name of cultural development.
