Every winter, trajectories intersect at residencies for contemporary art groups and members of the Transart Institute. New collaborations form in which an international group of artists, curators, and theorists make art, exhibit and perform, try new things, get fresh views, and dip into current discourse. This year Transartists visit Wooloo Productions in Berlin, established to represent, describe and investigate contemporary Nomadism and related topics and practices. Wooloo's curators present exhibitions which "vitalize our globalized present". The New Life Shop gallery forms part of their on-going project New Life Movement - an initiative founded to platform artistic modes which transcend national borders and identities.
