We welcomed the students of the Elizabeth Knipping School (which teaches fashion and tailoring design) and also friends from Spangenberg, Germany. Tomorrow is the last full weekday in the Amtsgericht for Cebo and Veronica before they leave for South Africa.

'just us at work' — performing "Zeros and Ones" on the facade of the Amtsgericht

With the help of Frau Merton (Amtsgericht apprenctice supervisor) and the "Lehrlings" (legal apprentices), we performed a synchronized application of "Zeros and Ones" on the windows of the Amtsgericht on Friday, August 17, 2012 at 10 am. All zeros and ones were systematically applied within a 20 minute time period. Tobias Kisling, reporter from the HNA (Hessische/Niedersächsische Allgemeine) Newspaper, created a video of the performance that will soon be posted on the HNA website. Within an hour of the performance, a response of "question marks" were posted on the City Hall office windows, facing the Amtsgericht. We later met Anja Gieseler, one of the staff members in the department of Vermessung und Geoinformation at City Hall, and we were able to answer all pertinent questions about our 'art action' — 'just us at work.'

'just us at work' — Day 75 in Kassel and the Amtsgericht

 

 

Today is our 75th day in Kassel, and working on our ongoing "just us at work" project in the Amtsgericht. In 15 days, Cebo and Vero(nica) head back to Hamburg, South Africa. So we need to keep going these next two weeks -- looking back at our successes but also looking forward, continuing to re-arrange our zero and ones on the Amtsgericht windows. And today, Vero was our 'hero' with the zero -- she climbed the ladder to the third level and put up those zeros and ones!

We thank Critical Art Ensemble for hosting "just us at work" today. The weather was perfect and we appreciated that so many of our friends in Kassel came to see us, as well as the many visitors to dOCUMENTA (13) who attended and gave us such positive feedback. We hope that they will come and visit us again in the Amtsgericht, Frankfurter Straße 9, Monday - Friday, 10 am to 5 pm.
