So it’s from here on, now. Annenstrasse 52. The outdoor advertising promising: “tipico. Sports as never before.“ And “China Restaurant City Garden“ – the previous tenants. Across the street and towards the station: quite a number of vacant houses and shops. Memories of playing Monopoly: one of the most expensive streets of the strategy game (Build a house. Four houses in exchange for one hotel). Towards the city center, it’s slightly downhill. An easy walk, having the sun at your back. Passing a multifaceted neighborhood – Indian, African, Kurdish, Styrian. The interior: a bit shrunk, compared to our previous premises. Yet again: a squarish central room. Missing: only the pillar, as the central architectural element. So, what are we gonna do here? Art, as never before. RHIZOM. Es tipico!

“Wie gesagt ist es gleichgültig wo man sich befindet. Nur muß man dafür sorgen bewußt direkt ins unmögliche zu steuern. Unterwegs muß man natürlich das gleichgewicht halten. Aber nur unter der bedingung daß das gleichgewicht unsicher gemacht wird. Immer unsicherer.“
