prora.allinclusive
prora.squat:
In tradition of art-squatting prora.allinclusive established a living
and working platform for artists, designers and anarchitects which is
temporarily installed in the vast debris of Prora. For the period July
15th to August 15th an international and interdisciplinary work camp is
set up in a three km long-run ruin and deals with specifics of this
unique environment in an artistic manner. We produce deconstruction, do
wall-paintings, damage the building, relax on the beach, play soccer,
arrange parties and debate with thirty artists from Poland, Austria,
Lithuania, Mexico, France, Portugal, Germany, UK, Hongkong and the
Netherlands. As a reallab, we set up a discourse on new models of
European Art Academy without institutional borders, seeking for
strategies of horizontal living, thinking on public geographics and
exploring a spatial future for prora.landscape.
prora.building:
The remains of former KdF bath Prora on the Rügen Island represent a
fragment of German history. Planned out by the German Nazis to be a
gigantic holiday resort for 20000 tourists in the course of Hitlers
propaganda program “Kraft durch Freude”, its construction was never
finished but stopped when the war started. After World War Two the
impressive ruin was restricted area and served as barracks for the East
German Army. Until today Prora appears as an alien structure, nor
building nor city, with its length of 3km in the landscape of the
island.
prora.history:
As urban catalysts, we built up a MicroCity as Society using several
artistic strategies on life-saving in a ruin during the last weeks. We
put up installations to get water, mobile toilets, internet connection,
tables, shower and so on. Further, we got into art production; like
antcity, an indoor camp for three ant colonies which was constructed by
Johannes Weisser and Martin Luce on 4th floor; it is the first time in
history of Prora that formerly KdF-Bad is claimed by 20000
(animal)tourists as it was planned in 30ies. Masstourism works! As well
as a control video camera affixed on self constructed huge dimensional
kite which flies 30m up in the sky over Prora ruin, and sends live film
data from air view directly on monitor into kitchen by Urs Amadeus
Ulrich. Or 250 balloons full of Helium which were put up into the sky of
Rügen by ten prora.members. Along attic of hole Block 5 (500m) they mark
the horizontal line of the ruin. In prora.presidentsuite, a room
including breakfast with two mattrasses, no window, one door,
foto-wallpaper and a light-rope, we are able to give prora.guests a rest
in Prora ruin. In combination with lecture and discussion we argued with
Ton Matton (Trendy Pragmatist / Rotterdam), Martin Köttering (President
HfbK / Hamburg), Julian Wagstaff (Composer / Edinburgh), Christian Lagé
(dostoprimetschatjelnosti / Berlin), Bernhard Strecker (Architect /
Berlin), authors from Bauwelt Architecture Magazine, TAZ, Freies Sender
Kombinat and several others.
