ART PROJECT: THE ARCHITECTURE OF ESPIONAGE

During January to February 2013, artist Brendan Jamison will be working on Phase 3 of Teufelsberg Field Station Berlin, a year long project based on the secret listening station built during the Cold War era. The field station is located at the peak of Teufelsberg in the Grunewald Forest. It was built by the American National Security Agency and shared with British Intelligence. With temporary mobile units in place since 1960, it was not until 1963 when permanent structures began to appear on the hill top. However, the 'architecture of espionage' was forever evolving. The field station expanded rapidly between 1963-1977.  In the beginning there were no radomes, by 1977, there were 5. For more information on Teufelsberg Spy Station please CLICK HERE
