“FLAT WHITE OPEN am Hannovermarkt” is a three-day open space concept realized at Vienna's "Hannover market". Two neighbors and artist friends try to use the existing structures of the Hannover market and transfer their workspace there.

FLAT WHITE OPEN wants to be an open space for interaction and exchange. A slot in the market area is temporarily rented and materials from the market are artistically used for work in this minimal housing/working space.
