About the project
This is the website for the podcast for Culture and Real Estate project, which takes place in connection with the Junction Arts Festival, Sept.9 and 10, 2006.
The project is meant to stimulate discussion around the relationship between culture and real estate. It's easy to think of this relationship: the artists move in and then the loft condos follow, as in the popular phrase "artists are the shock troops of gentrification". But how can we also think about culture in relation to affordable housing? Why is this harder to think of? Of course we all want to live in a vibrant neighbourhood, where people from a variety of cultures and class backgrounds can live together. But how to achieve this?
During the festival, I will be interviewing people about these issues. The interviews will be compiled and posted online as a podcast.

hi kirsten-you were interviewing a woman at the junction arts festival when i stopped by to talk to you. i'm very interested in your project and speaking with you about it. in the near future i plan to set up a temporary installation space in a storefront in the junction addressing somewhat similar issues but also wanting to capture the neighbourhood in transition. i look forward to your podcast. my email is loreelaw@gmail.com.
Yay! I'm glad to see this blog is already receiving visitors =-)
I had fun hanging up posters with you yesterday, and I'm looking forward to listening to the interviews (especially after having the chance to read some excerpts).
I hope you had a great flight back to Sweden =-)
I have a vacant storefront space in the Junction. I would be willing to hear proposals for its use. I prefer temporary uses for artistic, intellectual, charitable etc. pursuits.
P.S. The mp3 file worked for me but not the itunes stream.
