I recently read a passage in a gallery pamphlet that used the term global homelessness. I immeadiately thought to myself what in the world does that mean. After sporadic contemplation I have formulated a coherent thought on the matter. The term global homelessness in the context of Berlin for example encompasses a feeling, description, and disposition for many people. Berlin is thought of as an international city/state, with a large portion of the population being foreigners, immigrants, or refugees it serves as a "home" to those who have for varying reasons have left their place of origin.

In terms of artists and a city like Berlin global homelessness alludes to the nomadic lifestyle of the contemporary artists. For example it is quite common for artist to be based in London but also hold a flat in Berlin. Another common practice is for galleries to have a branch in NYC and Paris

Our local and global culture is rapidly redefining itself and we are at a point where the concept of home is frankly becoming increasingly more reliant on a figurative gesture. What is home to you?
