Joachim Frost's work explores the space between architecture and art. The "in between" is what excites him most. This talk was composed of inspiring quotes, a selection of some of Joachim's projects and products and also a bench he built in Oshika, Japan in the middle of the woods. Joachim brought some art objects he created that day together with his 6 year old daughter Willy, which went on sale after the presentations - all money raised went straight to Haiti. Amazing how these little art pieces encouraged all guests, who already donated, to donate again - and to take something very precious home. Thank you, Joachim! www.stiks.de

Caro and Mike did a live performance with tape recorder, voice and sound effects: An audio visual work in progress about isolation and memory of the human body & spirit in the context of empty, abandoned spaces and places. They used the setting of a former Russian military base in the town of Wünsdorf to re-tell their story of ghosts that reappear in the form of voices, images and sounds. Kind of spooky!
