Houseboats have put into port in Harburg. Art objects at five venues
Even model ships can set sail. The houseboats developed and built by eleven pupils from the upper grades together with Harburg artists Katrin Regelski and Gunnar Schröder, which until now had been on exhibit at TuTech, have changed locations. One can be found at the "Rathaus", the town hall, one at the public library (see also http://www.buecherhallen.de, one at the "Alte Feuerwache" the old fire station as part of the Helms-Museum , another at the Technical University, and the last in a showcase at the local underground station "S-Bahnhof Harburg".
These five models will put into port in the harbour once again during the "Harburger Binnenhafenfest", Harburg's riverport festival. At that time they will be located on board the coastal motorboat "Greundieck".
Initiated in the course of the activity KINDER ZUM OLYMP ('Children striving towards the top'), through their work on these houseboats the pupils have displayed an intensive interest in in the past and future of Harburg as a port. Visions were enacted thereby, social and topographical aspects were equally incorporated. The most exciting feature of the boats are their inner workings.
TuTech and VISP are supporting the ambitious art project AHOY INNER HARBOR AHOY of the Gesamtschule Harburg, a comprehensive secondary school, and two local artists. In the period between October 2004 and April 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. The project belongs to the German wide art competition "CHILDREN TO THE OLYMP".
