Artists, architects, visionaries and creative people of all kinds moved into the 110 apartment units to realize their ideas around alternative living, intentional communities and visual arts. When Ricardo Cedeño Montaña heard about the project he decided to follow the work and life of some of the participants with a film camera. This coming weekend the finished movie will be publicly screened for the first time.<br /><br />Joined by the project team and some active members of the Sproutbau, Ricardo will be present to receive questions - and of course applause. A discussion about the movie, Sproutbau and upcoming projects will be made possible after the screening.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Where:</span> Kurzschluss, Lahnstraße 16, Neustadt<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Time: </span>12.4. um 20.00 UhrTeam N.http://www.blogger.com/profile/10817376499578131470noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806317114353721682.post-48743897499473988962008-03-13T05:05:00.000-07:002008-03-13T11:45:47.088-07:00welcome to earth!<img src="http://www.sproutbau.de/blogfotos/baerbel.jpg" /><br /><br />This cute earthling is Friedemann, aka Bärbel.

Together we went to see the remains of the Sproutbau. There was little left but a huge field of rubbles, which was especially sad for Linda, as she had hoped to get an idea of what the building looked like and where her paintings were installed.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.sproutbau.de/blogfotos/remains.jpg" /><br /><br />We climbed over the many stones to the one room that fiercefully kept standing. To our surprise this was also the only room we never could get into while the Sproutbau was still alive and standing.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.sproutbau.de/blogfotos/oneroom.jpg" /><br /><br />There were tables and chairs in the secret room. And someone had left a scarf. Now the only thing still unrevealed is whether there existed 7 hidden storage rooms in the basement that were full of collected items.

It was an eerie sight seing the building have standing, half in debris.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.sproutbau.de/blogfotos/basement_neu.JPG" /><br /><br />Despite the surrounding fence we could get in easily. The garden and garage were all gone, as well as house 46 and part of house 48.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.sproutbau.de/blogfotos/48.JPG" /><br /><br />The have ripped off the white asbesto pannels from the walls, they have etched out the floor tiles. All asbesto crab was collected in huge white plastic bags.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.sproutbau.de/blogfotos/sproutcafe.JPG" /><br /><br />Still you could walk up all the floors. What you see on the photo above is the seventh floor, coming right out of the stairway. To the right is Mr. Dohm´s old apartment, while to the left you see this hole into what has formerly been the café.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.sproutbau.de/blogfotos/dohms_newhome.JPG" /><br /><br />A group of us then visited Mr. Dohms in his new apartment. He has settled in now, but believes to be fully ready with everything around Easter. He promised to hold an Easter party.

The past month he had spent there without any comfort of hot water and radiation, but with almost nightly visitors roaming the building in search for useful materials. Buten & Binnen had a report on it last Tuesday. You can watch it <a href="http://www.radiobremen.de/tv/buten-un-binnen/index.php3?d=16&m=10&j=07&x=32&y=5">here</a>. Scroll all the way down!<br /><br />Also <a href="http://www.sproutbau.de/blogfotos/Bremer-Anzeiger-17.10.07.jpg">here </a>is a newspaper clip from the Bremer Anzeiger. My favorite part is this little snippet: <span style="font-style:italic;"><blockquote>He gained new hope through an art project in September . Architects and artists turned his building into the "Sproutbau" so that life was returning. "Those were really great young people", says Dohms. "They should have established a students´hostel way earlier..." </blockquote></span><br />Students´hostel... :) ... oh well... we love you Mr. Dohms!

PARK(ing) day is an international event initiated by <a href="http://www.rebargroup.org/">Rebar</a>, where public parkings spots are "leased" from the city and transformed into parks. In Bremen a group from the Sproutcrew grabbed <a href="http://www.sproutbau.de/">Sproutbau </a>leftovers and squeezed it into a car.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.sproutbau.de/blogfotos/parkimauto.jpg" /><br /><br />We then parked the car Thursday night at Violenstraße, a side road to the big traffic point Domsheide. Our visitor from Denmark, Anders, blocked another parking spot with his graffiti painted (Hippie) Citroen.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.sproutbau.de/blogfotos/parkbauer.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.sproutbau.de/blogfotos/internationalerparkingday0002.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >PHOTO: PATRICIA LAMBERTUS</span><br /><br />Next day we would get up early to feed the parking meter and build the park. The design followed the materials we had. The floor was covered with mulch and grass. Plants and vegetables made good decorations. We brought a parasol in case it would rain and a fancy lawn mower to use as the required vehicle.<br /><br />Local TV station <a href="http://www.radiobremen.de/tv/buten-un-binnen/index.php3?d=21&m=09&j=07">Buten & Binnen</a> later decided to use this action for their daily weather forecast.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.sproutbau.de/blogfotos/internationalerparkingday0003.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >PHOTO: PATRICIA LAMBERTUS</span><br /><br />Shunka was brave enough to say the prewritten text into the camera. She and Daniel were also interviewed by the crew of the Public Channel (Offener Kanal).<br /><br /><img src="http://www.sproutbau.de/blogfotos/danshun.jpg" /><br /><br />The event drew positive attention from pedestrians and bike folks. There were no complaints from people searching a parking spot. And there was no interferences from the police. Even the meter maids ignored us intentionally. All in all a friendly, peaceful event.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.sproutbau.de/blogfotos/parkbesucher.jpg" /><br /><br />In the end we gave away plants to people walking by. We cleaned up the space and took home some vegetables. The birdhouse though remains to this very day on top of the traffic light.Team N.http://www.blogger.com/profile/10817376499578131470noreply@blogger.com49tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806317114353721682.post-1001781987112906322007-09-11T07:29:00.001-07:002007-09-11T07:29:53.053-07:00the marnic roof<img src="http://www.sproutbau.de/blogfotos/marnicroof.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >PHOTO: CATHRIN EISENSTEIN</span>Team N.http://www.blogger.com/profile/10817376499578131470noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806317114353721682.post-38181380637827347232007-09-10T04:39:00.000-07:002007-09-10T04:42:20.471-07:00burning down the house...<img src="http://www.sproutbau.de/blogfotos/lenaleaving.jpg" /><br /><br />Taking out the installation.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.sproutbau.de/blogfotos/pete.jpg" /><br /><br />Even the most attached guests are packing.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.sproutbau.de/blogfotos/janitor.jpg" /><br /><br />Janitor on duty.

An inhabitant who hardly ever talks. Where she comes from, nobody knows.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.sproutbau.de/blogfotos/FMlight.jpg" /><br /><br />She starts cleaning, a thorough removal of all traces, strict and determined. Everything gets covered with a layer of paint – floor, table, books, pictures, walls – everything. Is this a way to get rid off memories? What you cannot see does not exist. She paints towards the state of purest white and innocence.

Several other wallpapers from Sproutbau and elsewhere completed the energetic montage. Here the wall fabrics of former residents come together to form the garden of an imaginative person.

Her naughty, nosy character wins you over. She loves to climb up people in search for food. Infact: in search of food Heidi has been caught in strange and rather hilarious situations.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.sproutbau.de/blogfotos/thefunnygoat.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">PHOTO: CATHRIN EISENSTEIN</span></span><br /><br />She has been the focus of media attention and will also be starring in a short movie about stairways. Here you see her pictured in the BILD Zeitung:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.sproutbau.de/blogfotos/kuenstlerzeigenziegen.jpg" /><br /><br />Heidi is so popular and called after that we tend to think all the goats believe they are named "Heidi". Not that they would listen anyway.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.sproutbau.de/blogfotos/mordi.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">PHOTO: CATHRIN EISENSTEIN</span></span><br /><br />Less popular but well liked is Mordechai. His cuteness factor is high. More down to earth than Heidi, Mordechai usually waits patiently for his turn. You often find him sitting on the radiator catching sunlight. One of his obsessions are cats. He dislikes them. Everytime he sees a cat he blows his nose like a trumpet. Then he jumps away and hides.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.sproutbau.de/blogfotos/ingmar.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">PHOTO: CATHRIN EISENSTEIN</span></span><br /><br />Ingmar is named after the late director Ingmar Bergman. Coincidentally he has a torn soul and split character. Shy with humans Ingmar nonetheless bosses his colleagues around to make sure he gets his food. Never afraid of a good fight he and Mordechai are wrestling partners. Poor Mordechai never wins.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.sproutbau.de/blogfotos/rotetapete.jpg" /><br /><br />The three of them share a 30 m² basement apartment with an attached garden. One side of the apartment is filled with wooden pieces and an armchair, where visitors get to go into a swing mood and relax. The palettes are where they sleep at night and rest at day. They have an area in the back filled with straw that they like to use for sanitary purposes.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.sproutbau.de/blogfotos/Heidi_Ingmar.jpg" /><br /><br />The other half of the apartment has been decorated with a huge poster showing a Swiss alpine landscape. We do not know whether that makes them feel more at home but occasionally Mordechai likes to chew on the wallpaper.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.sproutbau.de/blogfotos/ziegenbeiheizung.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.sproutbau.de/blogfotos/ganzerraum.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">PHOTO: MARY IVY MARTIN</span></span><br /><br />Only two weeks after taking territory in the garden there were no bushes left. Here Heidi and Ingmar are sneaking out noses waiting for someone to bring them fresh branches.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.sproutbau.de/blogfotos/gartenziegen.jpg" /><br /><br />If they are not sneaking their noses out in the garden you will find them doing the very same thing up at the front door... <br /><br /><img src="http://www.sproutbau.de/blogfotos/vordertuer.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">PHOTO: MARY IVY MARTIN</span></span><br /><br />... but truly, we are trying to keep the spoiling within limits.Team N.http://www.blogger.com/profile/10817376499578131470noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806317114353721682.post-74005857550657602322007-08-29T08:51:00.000-07:002007-08-29T08:59:03.279-07:00programThe amazing, inconceivable program is out!
