ARTIST DIS-PLACEMENT AT DEUTSCHE BAHN (GERMAN RAILWAY) - Oliver Walker
Oliver Walker
As part of the Artist Dis-Placement program, Oliver will spend approximately five months at the Deutsche Bahn (DB), Germany’s nationally owned, though privately run, rail company. DB, ZK/U and the artist have together agreed a completely open brief, meaning initially the artist will get a behind the scenes look into numerous aspects of the everyday running of the company, while also looking into historical archives and future plans - and exploring the network. Initial visits are in planning to a rail maintenance team, the Smart Cities team looking at the future of mobility in Hamburg, and a rail freight depot.
