MUSEUM PLATTE (ZÜRICH, 2002-3)

After the Cabaret Voltaire eviction, our crew, complete with Dadaist furniture stocks that we rescued from police violence, were homeless for months. We met up in
parks and much too small living rooms in order to discuss the search strategy for a new home for our collective cause. In July 2002, after several unsuccessful attempts
at squatting, we finally found what we‘d been looking for: the former Department of Romance Languages of the Zurich University in the Plattestrasse 32. 

Due to its
size and location it was an ideal place for our 30-member group to be merging creative arts and the art of living for the next two years. This long the social sculpture
proliferated here undisturbed, incorporating guests of different ages and origins. Persons, who under normal circumstances would not set foot in a squat, became
our regular visitors. Pastor Leumund and I contacted the Department of geriatric institutions and organized an intergenerational project, during which we filled the
community room of an old people‘s home with props and scenery and took staged photographs with the residents. Afterward we invited the enthusiastic ladies to a tea
and dance party in Plattestrasse.
