Pure City
In 2002 Jan van Wissen began developing his project Trans Industrial City Planning (TICP). The first presentation of TICP took place at ZAAL100 in Amsterdam in October 2002. During September it will be combined with TISS (Trans Industrial Street Signs) by Ine Ophof and the TIBU system (system of movable shelters) of Peter Kastner as the collaborative work in progress The Pure City (A Trans Industrial City).
With The Pure City (A Trans Industrial City) we try to think about the city and the life in the city of the new Trans Industrial Society (TIS). And we try to find a way to describe this city and this city life with the methods of visual art. So this work in progress contains paintings, drawings, fotos, exhibitions, installations, models, sounds, etc., as complex as the TIC will be.

Neues Heimatmuseum Europa (NHEU)
Highlights from TI-NHEU-HH-2003, NEUES HEIMATMUSEUM EUROPA at Kronsaalsweg / Eimsbüttel / Hamburg / 14-23 March 2003 (pictures NHEU):
Participants:
Peter Kastner, Alfred Wäspi, Herr Penschuck, Barbara Pier, Ad Breedveld, TITO (Jan van Wissen, Ine Ophof, Peter Kastner, Alfred Wäspi, Herr Penschuck, Ad Breedveld).
Context:
The Atelierhaus 30, in an old railwaystation in the industrial area Kronsaalsweg, should be demolished for a brandnew concrete-recycling-factory. After 8 years of artistic adventures Peter Kastner and friends decided to organize a good-bye-exhibition in the empty building, dedicated to the New Nationalistic Trends in the New European Union. To critisize the new chauvinistic destructive culture-politics of the new conservative Hamburg-gouvernment.
Peter Kastner:
Showed his TI-BUNKER-No1 with his One-Dog-Family and his TIBU-paintings. The TI-bunker should function as a shelter against national and international hysteria, but disappeared underground in the TICP (Trans Industrial City Planning), a part of TIPROD-ADAM.
Alfred Wäspi:
Showed his TRAUTES HEIM GLÜCK ALLEIN installation of souvenirs and woodcut-tools found in his Grandfathers chalet in the Alps of Switzerland.
Herr Penschuck:
Presented his HOME SWEET HOME series from Oldenburg. The result of 4 dérives through the nightlife of his town. The green night-camera-pictures gave associations with the US-night-pictures of the last Golfwar.
Barbara Pier:
Made a scenic installation of her HEIMATGEFÜHLE. Three cages with lifesize puppets, artificial grass and flowers. And four clothes stretched in frames.
Ad Breedveld:
Arranged his NEANDERTHALER DEATH RITUAL from Drenthe out of 5 strawpuppets, 9 artists´puppets, 35 mail art messages, and 3 old schoolmaps of Europe (political, geographical, economical). A cd with 21 National European Anthems was playing all the time. Breedveld lived 3 weeks in the demolished building during the exhibition. And he visited every day one Heimatmuseum (heritagemuseum) in Hamburg. He wrote a privat diary about his TI-NHUE-adventures not for publicity.
TITO:
Gave a performance on the final party in Kronsaalsweg 24 March. It deconstructed the 21 European National Hymns in an outdoor performance with chainsaws, shortwave radios, stampmachines, iron bars, etc.
