The context of the researchInitiated by Pam Skelton and Joachim Heinrich as multidisciplinary collaborative research, this project combines experitse in visual arts, history, statistics and socialogy in an investigation of Stasi conspiracy dwellings active in the city of Erfurt in 1980-1989. Working with local partners in science, government and culture, the project is an investigation of Stasi surveillance patterns in a model city in the former GDR, using as source material (after they have been made anonymous) a dossier conspiracy dwellings found in the Bureau for Records for the Ministry of State Security, of the former GDR. In this project parallel research in srt and science investigates the 500 Stasi meeting places which qualified as being active spy cells within a designated timje period. As well as describing the city as a geographical surveillance network, the meeting places connected the Stasi officer, the co-worker, the occupants of the dwelling and finally the people who were under surveillance. A historical, sociological study of the conspiracy dwellings is undertaken by project partners the Frederick Schiller Universitat, Jena, Germany, key representatives Prof. Dr. Heinrich Best Jena, Dr. Joachim Heinrich, Erfurt, and Munich, Dr. Heinz Menstrup, Jena, Jeanette Michelmann, Erfurt, and funded by the Stiftung der Aufarbeitung der SED - Diktatur, and Tina Clausmeyer, art researcher, Jan Van Eyke Academy, Maastricht funded by JVE to host a conference in Berlin and to design a map of conspiracy dwellings.Aims and ObjectivesThe visual arts part of the project of which this proposal addresses focuses on the city as a semi-enduring three dimensional repository of history and memory, and through this lens will construct a video work and installation which navigates the present day city and links it to its Stasi past. The city is a complex architectural and social structure, a network that both reflects and hides its history through its architectural reality and its public and private domains. The forced shedding of memory as in the case of the people in the Soviet Union and the German Democratic Republic where the old was demolished in favour of a new creates complex relationships of memory to history. In addition the records held by teh Stasi Archive further complicate the disruption between memmory and history and demand that they are used with caution. Cross-disciplinary collaboration at a local level is therefore very important both in the process and realisation of this project and as a priority it is integrated at all levels of research and production. Local artists' work on the subject of the Stasi will be included in the exhibitions resulting from this research, and interdisciplinary research will result in and contribute to joint outputs in terms of publication and exhibition. Situated in every neighbourhood yet hidden within them the conspiracy dwellings are located everywhere shrouded in many guises. The work aims to explore the presence of the conspiracy dwellings as vestiges and traces, as clusters of intensity while protecting the privacy of their occupants. From the utopian Soviet style housing developments in the suburbs which converge on housing developments such as Moscowa Platz, Vilnius Platz and Warsawa Platz to medieval buildings such as the Registry Office in the old town: the shopping precincts, pre - WW2 bourgeois villas, 70's tower blocks on the Yuri Gagarin Ring. What kind of relationships can be inferred between the conspiracy dwellings and the local environment that contained them?Its potential applications and benefitsContributes to the healing process of dealing with a difficult past.Contributes to the ongoing awareness of surveillance and its attendant dangers.Offers multi-disciplinary collaboration that spans cultural and linguistic boundaries.Contribut

研究的背景由帕姆·伯顿和约阿希姆·海因里希发起，作为多学科的合作研究，该项目结合了视觉艺术，历史，统计和社会学方面的专业知识，调查了1980-1989年活跃在埃尔富特市的斯塔西阴谋住宅。该项目与当地科学、政府和文化合作伙伴合作，在前民主德国的一个模范城市调查斯塔西的监视模式，使用前民主德国国家安全部记录局发现的阴谋住宅档案作为原始材料（在匿名后）。在这个项目中，SRT和科学的平行研究调查了500个斯塔西会议场所，这些场所在指定的时间段内被认为是活跃的间谍细胞。除了将这座城市描述为一个地理监视网络外，会议地点还将斯塔西官员、同事、住宅的居住者以及最后被监视的人联系起来。对阴谋住宅的历史和社会学研究由项目合作伙伴弗雷德里克席勒大学，耶拿，德国，主要代表Heinrich Best Jena教授博士，Joachim Heinrich博士，埃尔富特和慕尼黑，海因茨Menstrup博士，耶拿，Jeanette Michelmann，埃尔富特，并由Stiftung der Aufarbeitung der SED - Diktatur资助，以及艺术研究员Tina Clausmeyer，Jan货车埃克学院，由JVE资助的马斯特里赫特在柏林举办一次会议，并设计一幅阴谋住宅地图。目的和目标该项目的视觉艺术部分，其中该提案地址集中在城市作为一个半持久的历史和记忆的三维仓库，并通过这个透镜将构建一个视频工作和装置，导航今天的城市，并将其与斯塔西的过去联系起来。城市是一个复杂的建筑和社会结构，一个通过其建筑现实及其公共和私人领域反映和隐藏其历史的网络。苏联和德意志民主共和国人民的情况是，旧的被拆毁，新的被取代，这种被迫抛弃记忆的做法造成了记忆与历史的复杂关系。此外，斯塔西档案馆保存的记录进一步复杂化了记忆和历史之间的分裂，并要求谨慎使用它们。因此，在地方一级的跨学科合作在该项目的过程和实现中非常重要，并且作为优先事项，它被整合到研究和生产的各个层面。当地艺术家关于斯塔西主题的作品将被列入这项研究的展览，跨学科研究将产生并有助于出版和展览方面的联合产出。位于每一个街区，但隐藏在他们的阴谋住宅位于无处不在，笼罩在许多伪装。该作品旨在探索阴谋住宅作为遗迹和痕迹的存在，作为强度的集群，同时保护居住者的隐私。从郊区的乌托邦式苏联风格住宅开发，如莫斯科广场，维尔纽斯广场和华沙广场，到中世纪建筑，如老城区的登记处：购物区，二战前的资产阶级别墅，尤里加加林环上的70年代塔楼。在阴谋住宅和包含它们的当地环境之间可以推断出什么样的关系？它的潜在应用和好处有助于治疗过去的创伤。有助于持续认识监视及其伴随的危险。提供跨越文化和语言界限的多学科合作。Contribut
