Glettiseli & Club G´stört, Zurich, 2000

After the eviction from Glacégarten, Mickry 3 and I moved into a studio in the Luwa. As always, I set up a salon and held occasional smallish events. Soon the space became too small, and just before New Years 2000 Ingo, Mickrys and I decided to grab hold of a little townhouse near the Triemlispital. The small run-down villa in the Kellerweg, with serious mold infestation and the distinctive mansard roof in form of an iron (“Glettiseli”—small iron) were instantly converted into a walk-in art installation, which we used for the next three months as a meeting place, showroom and venue for concerts and performances.As the size of the house did not allow for larger events, in February of 2000 we all moved into the Uetlibergstrasse 99. This building was previously used as a regular tenement and was located in the middle of a residential district. We connected two four-room flats on the ground floor by breaking a few walls, then we stuffed the windows with mattresses in order to make the place soundproof. A highlight of this project was the concert hall sprayed by Mickry 3, which became an important meeting venue for young musicians from the hip-hop scene. On weekends many young rappers in various formations made their debut here. Quite of few of them are well-known today—and not merely throughout Switzerland.
