Long in development, this urban land intervention conceived jointly by German artists Achim Mohne and Uta Kopp and South African author NIq Mhlongo will be presented at jozi art:lab, a new venue at Arts on Main. In this ongoing the artists have produced giant, permanent rooftop text interventions in urban areas. These texts become a part of the urban landscape as satelite mapping programs such as Google Earth progressively integrate them into aerial maps of the world's metropolises.

Jozi art:lab is affiliated to German arts organisation the Sylt Foundation and will facilitate residencies, exhibitions and
performance projects in the burgeoning 'Maboneng District' surrounding Arts on Main.
