prehistory

’Südbalkon’ (conveyor bunk for art & culture in Wilhelmsburg) was founded in 2004 and it had to close up 2007 due to rent increases. The group understood this as a first sign for the 'upgrade' of wilhelmsburg, done by the internationale Bauausstellung (IBA).
It was said, that the funeral home next door wanted to rent the südbalkon-room as their new showroom.
So 'bury, death' was a first farewell. Drawn Magritte quotes, slideshow-loops and a huge collection of different spoons.

Resurrected as a fire barrel with door, windows and a balcony the 'südbalkon' continued its activities as a cultural meeting point on an garage-backyard next to the trashcans.

Another small room was found nearby and the 'südbalkon'group (friends of small events and smooth development) was proud to present bands and musicians&artists like deep space X, Uri Geller, Helgoland, Mojn Quadrat, Tulip, Amanda Francis and Paul Jones...just telling you the names of the last two months program. August 2010...we had to close due to rent increases forever.

slG / Slg

Another group met 2006 under the name 'so lassen Gang' (here translated into 'as is Gang'). Their idea was basically to keep things in Wilhelmsburg as they are.
As a forum for the documentation of possible farewells and losses the 'slG' openend the website antiba.de with the 'walking casket' - sculpture as its logo

Songs from no woods

So the woodprinted map of the river island Wilhelmsburg as a tree stump (2021) tries to combine all the thoughts from the past process and the fears from this ongoing city development process.
The sampler project 'songs from no woods' (with this woodprint as a possible cover) is still searching for sounds and music.
