The Rote Fabrik, which I managed to obtain as a location for the next Dada festival weeks in a drinking session with Kyros Kikos, represented quite a challenge. Since the Wohlgroth days I had great reservations about this institution because it was decried by the squatter scene as a pure pacification project, used to castrate the ’80s youth uprising. In particular the so-called Shedhalle, which was repeatedly put forward to me by the authorities as a venue for artistic activities, was considered by me the opposite of the open space concept, because for decades an elitist fringe group was blocking the potential of free artistic expression with pseudo-scientific round table discussions under the guise of gender art.
Nevertheless I enjoyed being able to invite, on generous terms, my friends and acquaintances to this richly subsidized hangout, and being served on by permanently employed ex-squatters who flooded the centrally heated festival weeks with state-of-the-art event technology.
With an army tent in the middle of the Rote Fabrik club room, with heaps of artworks and scrap, I transformed an ugly multi-function hall into a cozy cave. The entire set-up, in particular the beautiful cardboard trees fabricated by artist Habib Afzar, under which we puffed on marijuana cigarettes, filled me with euphoria, although the smoking ban was an inadvertent mockery of health & safety regulations.
