Today it remains derelict, consisting of fragments of tunneling and abandoned, incompleted stations. During the Cold War, the then West Berlin-owned Underground Company (BVG) had to use part of the East Berlin-owned S1 line. The BVG therefore started building the U10 line parallel to the S1 line in order to be completely independent of the East German regime. Three U10 stations were built but never completed because of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The U10 lines unknown existance (or non-existance) and its fantastical and historical qualities as a mystical place and a relic of divided Berlin offer the artists a number of points of approach. http://www.u10-berlin.de -- Moldova Young Artists Association "Oberliht" http://www.oberliht.org.md . . . . . . . . . . . http://idash.org/mailman/listinfo/oberlist portal informational pentru arta si cultura din Moldova information gateway for arts and culture from Moldova _______________________________________________ oberlist mailing list oberlist@idash.org http://idash.org/mailman/listinfo/oberlist
