Urban Subjects is a cultural collective formed in 2005 by Sabine Bitter, Jeff Derksen, and Helmut Weber to develop research-based artistic projects focusing on urban issues.
Recognizing that globalization has intensified urbanization, Urban Subjects aims to investigate the global-urban nexus and its localized effects.
Bitter, Derksen, and Weber have extensive transnational experience and education in the area of urbanism, artistic practice, arts organizations, and education. They have collaborated on previous projects shown in galleries across Europe and North America.

They recently published the book "Autogestion, or Henri Lefebvre in New Belgrade", with a previously unpublished manuscript by Lefebvre (Fillip, Vancouver, CA and Sternberg Press, Berlin, DE) and have another edited volume, "Not Sheep: New Urban Enclosures and Commons" forthcoming.
Urban Subjects has collaborated with Vancouver Flying University on a public program regarding housing in Vancouver.

They are currently developing an international exhibition on the urban aftermath of Olympics and Expos, "Where the World Was: Cities After Global Mega-events" and are working on a video project on new forms of autogestion in relation to the state in Caracas, Venezuela.
