Sakter in der DDR? Ja, wir hatten ja nischt, aber irgendwie schon. Ich finde den Teaser unglaublich sympathisch; musste mich wundern und schmunzeln. Ich bin schon jetzt gespannt auf den Film. Für alle Fans: Das Team bittet weiterhin um Spenden, um die Produktion zu finanzieren. Wer möchte, kann sich hier engagieren: Wildfremd Production (Danke, Defi, für den Tipp)
In 90 minutes, we see the GDR more sharply, more clearly: the skater subculture shows that not all was grey-on-grey and drab clouds of Trabant fumes. This Wildfremd production (Ronald Vietz & Michael Schöbel) by director Martin Persiel takes original clips of the “wheel-board-riders” – straight out of the East German scene in the 80s – and mixes it with animations and reencounters with the protagonists today. It is not just a well thought out story on its own – this film also raises the aesthetic bar.
“Skating as freedom” is one of the leitmotifs of this film. Skating “without pressure to be better than someone else,” as one of the main characters puts it, became the goal in hindsight, or, said downright harshly, “the desire for freedom turned lifestyle”. Unbelievable, if not for the simple fact that this Californian fun could find its expression in the GDR.
+++ drinking water running through the streets +++
In südeuropäischen Ländern findet man überall kleine und große Brunnen, Fontänen und Erfrischungsgelegenheiten. Inzwischen sind jedoch viele dieser städtischen Wasserläufe stillglegt oder kaputt. Das Kollektiv Luzinterruptus hat sich nun dem Thema angenommen und in Madrid ebendiese versiegten Quellen wieder zum Leuchten gerbacht. Mit der Aktion “Water Running Through The Streets” sorgen sie für Lichterfluten. Neben der Wasseraktion hat das Kollektiv auch viele kleine Kameras installiert, Gummistiefellampen in Grünanlagen gebaut und Laub unter Laternen angehäuft.

So hört es sich also an wenn Bäume wachsen zumindest steckt da die Idee dahinter. Unter dem Namen Years versteckt sich die Installation von Taubeck, dessen Inspiration wahrlich organischen Ursprungs hat….sehr feine Sache das!!!

Kevin Peterson, artist statement : “My work is about the varied journeys we take through life. It’s about growing up and living in a world that is broken. These paintings are about trauma, fear and loneliness and the strength that it takes to survive and thrive. They each contain the contrast of the untainted, young and innocent against a backdrop of a worn, ragged, and defiled world. Support versus restraint, bondage versus freedom, and tension versus slack are all themes that I often visit. My work deals with isolation, loneliness and longing teamed with a level of optimistic hope. Issues of race and the division of wealth have arisen in my recent work. This work deals with the idea of rigid boundaries, the hopeful breakdown of such restrictions, as well as questions about the forces that orchestrate our behavior.”

+++ Ibug – Dub – Doku +++
During the IBUG streetart festival 2011 we produced our new stop motion film. It is a mix of stop motion and live sequences. We had seven days to finish the film until we showed the film on the opening night at the festival. Thanks to everybody who supported us during the production. Special thanks go to the people who organized the IBUG and symbiz sound that produced that great unique sound for the video! Turn your speakers on!!!! www.quintessenz-creation.com | www.symbiz-sound.de
Dieses Jahr besuchte ich ebenfalls die Ibug in Meerane und brachte ein paar Eindrücke mit die Ihr in Form von Bildern bewundern konntet, doch diese tolle Doku erzählt noch ein bisschen mehr als Bilder erzählen können!
+++ Urban History +++
The Pruitt-Igoe Myth explores the social, economic and legislative issues that led to the decline of conventional public housing in America, and the city centers in which they resided, while tracing the personal and poignant narratives of several of the residents of the notorious Pruitt-Igoe public housing complex in St. Louis.
