PUPLIC INNER SPACE
july / august 2007
.. still open till the 19th august 07 in Cuvrystr. 2-3 in Berlin Kreuzberg. Open wednesday to sunday from 2pm to 10pm.
Installation in form of an appartment within the frame work of
the street art exhibition PLANET PROZESS.
Concept:
The "ordinary" urbanite acts rather reserved in puplic space. He is considerate of
his fellow men to not bother them. He doesn`t throw trash on the street either he cleans it away. Visually he stays on the sideline, too. Except a few things on one's own property or jobs, he leaves the arrangement of his surrounding area to others. Instead he likes to ask questions like: "Are you doing this at home?".
We, street artists and graffiti writers, act contrary. Unquestioned and arbitrary we feel free to redefine the visual image of "our" cities with paintings and installations.
A central idea of the street art exhibition PLANET PROZESS is the communication between "active" and "passive" townspeople. This thought provides the basis of our work of art. We are stunned about the difference between the "normal" inhabitants slack motivation to actively participate the urban space compared to our own strong motive force.We do believe that 90% of all people design, redesign, clean and repair their own appartments and houses. Thats why we offer this installation in form of an appartment as a open public area, as a playground for the visitor`s (re)configuration and design. The place is decent furnished, less decorated and not occupied. We give this to the general public and invite all to use it, to look after it,to change it, to throw socks in the nooks and to hang up a picture, to cook and to celebrate in, but above all - to vitalize it !
From the 20.07.2007 to the 10.08.2007 we will stay totally in the background, we are not going to intervene the event in any manner. On the lefthand of the flat`s entrance the installation`s ongoing development will be documented .
"Puplic inner space" is a work by PEGASUS, PONY-G, EHSO, ROGER and RICHARD SCHWARZ.
