Rieve, Urbschat, Wehrmann vs. Eventlabs, Kaispeicher A, 2002
Video, two flaggs
In 2002 Rieve Urbschat Wehrmann asked the agency Eventlab, who at that time
had the exclusive right to offer the Kaispeicher for different intermediant events, for a Gotcha duel
in the cellar of the building. Then (like now) the plans for the future HafenCity were controversial,
and so were events in the area that had the character of a pioneering role. The place of the Gotcha duel
with its battle marks, a poster, a video and two flags were the contribution of Rieve Urbschat Wehrmanns
for the exhibition „There is a Place“, which was staged in the Kaispeicher A in autumn 2002.
