(please read more below)
August 30. at 6 PM
Lecture about Micronations and Micronation Summits
by Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen, YKON

 

The Sparwasser HQ participation is the sum of projects by
Instant Coffee,
Vinyl -Terror & -Horror,
Detroit Tree of Heaven Woodshop
and the Ykon World Game.

 

Situated on an evacuated peninsula of a once busy harbour in a
industrial setting of a container park the artist projects arrive to find them
selves in that scatter of a post party of earlier times treasures. Mechanical
machinery, atomic power, the dream of the global superiority, monocultured
and resistant vegetation are actors who perform here on the sand
of our two claims, 25a and 25b during the next two weeks.

In line with the curatorial idea of Subvision that an independent artist is
different and will assimilate to the worst possible condition for an exhibition,
that he can make his disadvantage into his advantage, the artist projects
transform the arquard situation in the HafenCity and give Subvision the
chance to invent a new form of outdoor art museum.

So the artists, however non-commercial and 'other' as they are, create art
works and situations which adapt to this situation of arrogant modernist
thinking about otherness and universality.

In this way the artists express their belonging to contemporary culture with
all the give and take, and act within value sensitive asthetic dimentions.

In the far horizon there is a climate change meeting being planned (etical or
strategical).

 

The art works:

The artist group Instant Coffee is showing their Disco Fallout Shelter, a bomb shelter
in pink and mirrors, a door locked from the outside, inside and below the group is together:
working, living, partying, as far as we can see on the monitor of the kiosk.
A kiosk is placed at the beginning of a long yellow road leading to the pink metal door of the
Disco Fallout Shelter. A satelite dish and a ventilator chimney tell us that this isolation under
earth is a true dejavu of exercises dating even earlier than the anti-atomic power movement
which was an important ingredience of artists happy teen years.

Detroit Tree of Heaven Woodshop is a project initiated 2005 by artists Ingo Vetter, Annette Weisser
and Mitchell Cope. DToHW has been featured in exhibitions like Shrinking Cities which dealt with the
decline of industrial cities in a changing economy. DToHW uses the fast growing, omnipresent Tree
of Heaven (dt. Goetterbaum) as a resource to produce sculptures and furniture. This species is
exceptionally resistant to polluted soils and thus a common settler of postindustrial landscapes like
the one here in the harbor. The installation consists of a trunk of a tree cut up in slices, a bench
produced out of the heavenly wood, and a 'tree spotting video' documenting potential harvesting sites
in Detroit.

Vinyl -Terror & -Horror created for the container an installation, a mashinery of old record players,
beautifully served by invisibly hands.
8 newly produced records are speeding up an down, record player pick-up arms are lifting and
lading on front and back side of floating vinyls.
During this concert of scratch, flying sand, container and the sentimentality of old mould is toned
down by the beauty of ghosty perfection.

"The Hamburg Hafencity: the ultimate hotspot for a total Earth makeover."

On August 29. the artist group YKON is inviting the public to participate in their World Game.
Occupying the last container on the peninsula 25b they situate their game zone in the sand in front
of their info center. The aritsts will introduce their Game, an event lasting 7 hours, starting
at 15:00 and continuing through out the night.

The YKON Game is a world simulation for up to 30 players. We put the world "on hold" for 6 years.
You can tinker with the world as you please. What will you change? How can you seduce others to go
along with your changes?
The game is developed out of a theory by Buckminster Fuller, who suggested that 'defining rules of a game'
could be a basic way of understanding life itself. Ykon: "This game will uncover the daring, breathtaking,
sometimes wonderful, sometimes terrifying thoughts that could forever alter the world, and the way we
live in it. Your thoughts: our world!"
