text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Times roman";color:#333333">The
focus of this project is the artistic exploration of the use and preservation
of public space and public premises - particularly open – green - spaces in a
highly developed, urban environment. The small park of Le Petit Versailles in
the Lower Eastside of Manhattan, a little paradise in the midst of a highly
contested and now highly valued property market, is also a symbol for the
artists’ engagement against gentrification and ideally suited as a platform for
this project.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;
text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Times roman";color:#333333">Closely
linked to this is the question of how non-profit-work of individual artists and
artist groups can be maintained and organized in such an environment. The
experiences, which the Künstlerhaus FRISE has gained in its turbulent history
in Hamburg, correspond to the situation in New York on different levels and are
addressed in LAST CALL.</span><span style="font-family:"Times roman""><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;
text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Times roman""> The project
Hamburg LAST CALL traces different levels of information about the
circumstances of contemporary artwork and the situation of artists in the city
of Hamburg /Germany in general and the specific situation of the Hamburg artist
cooperative FRISE.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Since FRISE/
alias Künstlerhaus Hamburg e.V. was the first so called artist house
(Künstlerhaus) in Hamburg and Germany-. established in 1978, its construction
and reconstruction in 2003 - gives an example and a genuine story of how an
artist cooperative survived gentrification and (art) market hype. Since 1989
when Künstlerhaus, hosted the <b>ABC NO RIO SHOW "Ten Years Seven
Days" <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; ">the artist
collective had to leave their place, find and reconstruct another building.</span></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;
text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Times roman"">In conjunction
with the ABZ a video- and filmmaker organization they established FRISE in
2003. To avoid a repetition of the gentrification story and another foreseeable
loss of the new place they eventually founded the FRISE eG Cooperative in 2008
and succeeded to buy the hereditary tenure of the real estate from the city for
1.4 million €. So now 40 artists have a safe place to live and work in FRISE
for the next 36 years.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;

( painting, sculpture, drawing, video, experimental filmmaking a.o.), a guest
studio for foreign artists was established to pursue art exchange as well as
FRISE artists invite artists from all over the world to stay and work in FRISE.
Since 1978 a exhibition program is realized by the FRISE artists as curators,
the exhibition space is subventioned by the city.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;
text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Times roman""> FRISE alias
Künstlerhaus Hamburg as an effective cooperation of artists had a strong impact
an the cultural policy of the Hamburg city and Hamburg´s artist scene - in
Hamburg now has developed an independent art scene with at least 16 to 20
independent art spaces - which have cooperated in the last two years 2007 /08
in an own festival called WSW 1 and WSW 2. The project roughly outlines this
development by documents, screenings and catalogues. To present the recent
video- and filmmaking activities at FRISE "Last Call" will show a
video and short film program of members of ABZ and FRISE, like: Torsten Bruch,
Jörn Zehe, Christoph Rothmeier.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;
