Dear Friends, Collegues, Comrades, Enemies, ... we have new perspectives, we have new projects. SLUM-TV is common future, but my personal past. The project is now managed and run by the members themselves, and I wish them an even brighter future than the past. Of course there will as well be space for collaboration in the future, but now I work on another development issue.
And that deals with Vienna. Another 5 year project? We, hope SO! Together with two artists friends, we took ower a yugoslavian worker's bar in the 16th district. Why, yugoslavian? Well, we have more than 200000 ppl living in this town, and many of them came as yugoslavian workers here. Of course the dramatic events of the last decades did generate a division based on ethnical categories, but one is theory another thing is the every day live of the working class. Nothing is ideal here, but in every day live, in Vienna, these workers still mingle, regardless where they come from. Is it the common language, the austrian discrimination or something else, which hold's them together? Next to the bar, we opened a space, which we use in a way as a gallery, as rehearsal venue for public space projects, as cultural center, which intends always to include the locals. To generate a social and political space, where academic discourse can meet working class issues. At least, that sounds like a plan. The bar is open. The first exhibition is as well opened. The Beauty of Work, by Andrej Filev is processual and will be closed on 11th of July, with a huge party.
