HELDEN
DER ARBEIT
An Art Festival in Berlin-Oberschöneweide
September 7th - October 7th 2002 |
30 artists/groups from Germany, Holland, Italy, Canada and Russia
exhibit site specific work at a former industrial site on the banks
of the River Spree in Berlin-Oberschöneweide.
top row: trans_plant is a site-specific installation in an
abandoned cable factory that consists of a series of 'living sculptures'
which evoke concepts of utopian architecture, the dichotomy between
nature/industry and the suggestion of convergence as a symbol of
environmental sustainability.
bottom row: ICH LIEBE DICH (I LOVE YOU TOO) is a piece that
responds to graffiti on a concrete bank on the River Spree beside
the Oberschöneweide industrial site. Alstad painted "I
love you too" on the left bank of the river in response to
the German words on the right bank "ich liebe dich" (i
love you).
