MLM-001 is a collective installation by ‘LOW, Laboratorium voor de Ontwikkeling van het nieuwe Wonen’ (Laboratory for the Development of new Housing). LOW is a collective of residents, schoolchildren, architects, artists and handymen. In their workspace on the island Malem in Ghent, they developed a utopian response to a worst case scenario: What if the water level rises and the island Malem completely subsided? How can we still live here? The potential arrival of water was seen as a chance to rethink community life .
MLM-001 is twofold: a lexicon and an installation of scale models, videos and sounds. Together they propose a utopia for living together.
