AHOY Inner Harbour AHOY
Artistic contest about Harburg Inner Harbour.
TuTech and VISP are supporting the ambitious art project AHOY Inner Harbour AHOY of the Gesamtschule Harburg, a comprehensive secondary school, and two local artists.
This twelve students are about 16 and 17 years old and together with the artist they realised the following project in their regular art lessons and during many additional hours:
the theme is Harburgs Inner Harbour - the germ cell of Harburg, a quarter of massive structural change. In the period between October 2004 and March 2005 the artists and the students produced five wooden models of houseboats, that are a copy of a real existing floating home in the Inner harbour.
The houseboat models have a dimension of app. two meters each of them. Floating homes are a point that is very much discussed in connection with the future of the Inner harbour and the castle island. Inside of the wooden models the students arranged installations that are dealing with the topographic, social, historical and visionary situation of the Inner Harbour.
The whole project is one part in the process of bringing back the Harburg Inner harbour into the head of all inhabitants of Harburg and to increase awareness of this part of Harburg. An example of citizens participation. The project belongs to the nationwide art competition "children to the Olymp". http://www.kinderzumolymp.de
On April 14th there will be the grand opening of the exhibition at the TuTech house. The exhibition will be in our house for one week and afterwards the houseboat models will move to different locations into the city of Harburg - the Inner Harbour with all his ambiguity, history and future perspectives will be carried into the city of Harburg and into peoples mind.
