Hermann Hiller and I started the JOUR FIX 1991 - a series of quick, not fixed, shows - just the opening without staging an ongoing exhibition. The invitation was regularly made by stamped file cards, the locations were floating from cold cellars, nice gardens, bars, hotel suites to art spaces and back, and also the issues were changing, yet mostly performatively dealing with the current space we used. JOUR FIX was an open project with a lot of contributors and supporters. JOUR FIX intended to collaborate with different areas: artists, architects, urban researchers and other theorists, actors, bartenders, musicians and DJs or political activists.

In the mid-90s i got involved in the group [ueber die grenze], later called [Cross the Border], which was fostering activities against racism.

kein mensch ist illegal - No One Is Illegal was started at the Hybrid Workspace of documenta X, where [Cross the Border] set up first infrastructures together with other activists and artists from German cities, from abroad, especially French Sans Papiers: Mailing-list, video, radio, exhibitions. In the Kassel Orangery we also released the Appeal No One Is Illegal.

kein mensch ist illegal - No One Is Illegal merged the opportunities of esthetic operations with political activism and the ideas of the open source movement. The campaign had no headquarters, but from time to time federal meetings with open access. In the end-90s the federal meetings were together with the federal meetings of the Caravan for the Rights of Refugees and Migrants

We also started a series of (no) border camps and discussed the boundaries of art and politics in some shows:

I started schleuser.net first as schlepper.com - a faked pressure group for the business of undocumented mobiliy - together with [Cross the Border]. But when [Cross the Border] had come apart, Farida Heuck, Manuela Unverdorben and I continued with schleuser.net

“The second incident we found when browsing through recently declassified CIA archives. An evidence of testing the “Tesla Time Machine” (teslin vremeplov) by former Yugoslavian scientiests in the 50s. The machine makes it possible to travel back in history via accelerating the zero point energy and thus passing radio-waves. Even the technical assembly was quite advanced then, with our contemporary skills and possibilities, it was feasible to set up a replica and rediscover radio programs, e.g. broadcasted for partisans.”
