BANK has been our contribution for the project NIZZA TRANSFER (curator: Florian
Waldvogel), which took place on the area of a roller skating club in Frankfurt/Main
in the summer 2004.
The three issues of BANK are dealing with the reasons and consequences of
an urban renovation that is more and more driven by economic interests, considering
various (local) examples. These examples are: The effects of the post-olympic
use of former Olympic villages on urban planning; the changes of the Main
riverbank that result from the transformation of abandoned industrial sites
along the river into exclusive living- and business areas; and the history
of appropriation of inner-city-non spaces f.e. the Hauptwache in Frankfurt
by skate boarders. Additionally BANK documents the lectures that where held
in the scope of NIZZA TRANSFER.
BANK #1: «Olympic Villages»
BANK #2: «Investing by the River»
BANK #3: «Skatespot Frankfurt»
BANK was available for free on the site of NIZZA TRANSFER, in skate shops
and art institutions in Frankfurt.
