Logo to the girl next new dr chan. Gold mine of stewards. With exclusive. Photo must see concerning sharks culture to europe. To curious minds. Do it yourself networkers the. Subscribers dont miss out on. The from the bench too many people too little space the rent is too high and the time it takes you to get from one place to another is too long kevin cant add ski is moving from the big city to a small town from a quaint gun its in the eastern most tip of germany temporarily he says theres to me. He retired seniors and too little to do them and far too much support for the right wing extremist have tea party that doesnt necessarily make gurlitz the city of kevins dreams but they are rolling out the red carpet for the artist and his family. Final preparations before moving day kevin needs to drop off his paintings at the gallery. In gurlitz everything has already been taken care of the project testing the city has arranged an apartment working space for kevin and his wife and even a daycare spot for their daughter free of charge for full weeks. And everything will be so close by not at all like the length. When i take my daughter to daycare in the morning and then head on to my studio. Ive already spent an hour travelling. Over the week that adds up to several hours that i could be using for better things. While hes gone a gallery will be displaying his work in the national and International Art scene kevins made a name for himself as you know. Basically 5 pieces prints one framed piece and the 3 originals obviously. And thats the final price. Kevin is especially known as a street artist most of his artwork covers walls and buildings he appreciates all the free space that a city like palin has to offer. The big day has arrived off to gurlitz. Since the car is so full the family decides to travel separately. Kevin takes his daughter amalia in the car. His wife frederica will follow on the train with her newborn nicholai. The trip takes 3 hours on the road and in the train. Frederica is still a bit skeptical the far right populist a. F. D. Party captured 30 percent of the popular vote during the last parliamentary elections and the last local elections almost saw an a. F. D. Man voted into office. But ill just have to see when we get there and see how much it impacts daily life or how conspicuous it is or what people are doing to work against it. Thats something we could get involved in. Were originally from a fairly small town in syringe in eastern germany so were accustomed to polarization and luckily there are always people who fight back. Soon. But im curious to see what the daycare they arranged for us will be like it will be a huge difference barrow daughter will only be in a group of 12 children whereas here she shares one floor with 60 other children in this open space concept. Once theyve reached gurlitz the family is greeted by a project worker. Who. They are shown around their new a comedy. Ation. And this will be their home for the next 4 weeks. In the wards. 3 rooms a kitchen one bathroom the project is covering their rent. Amalia is delighted to discover they have a dishwasher. In fact she seems pleased with everything and kevin living in a small town with a 3 piece sofa. Because my biggest fear is to stagnate in some backwaters to just start moving get stuck. It doesnt matter in which regard whether in my work or with my family. Im not the type who is always pressing ahead but i dont want to stand still either. Kevin has to sign some paperwork before he has handed the keys and the apartment is all his at least for the next 4 weeks. Who. Showed is a Development Planner and is managing for testing the city project his aim is to attract young people to the aging town. While many apartments are empty here living space in large cities like palin is becoming increasingly scarce and an affordable. Risk of a white divided i think rural spaces more remote areas than small and medium sized cities are all in danger of becoming a marginalized. Project is trying to work against the trend we want to showcase goods as a medium sized city that can read the fresh air in major cities and contribute to a more balanced population distribution throughout germany. Today hes visiting kevin in his studio the young family has been in gurlitz for 2 weeks now. Used to tell if you didnt get it so far this so far its been quite laid back in a lot of ways its not as loud as it is in a big city and things are a bit more relaxed and i have lots to do so i am stressed but its still more laid back than in a large city. To the truth im glad to hear that thats what we initially assumed that people would be happy to get away from the stress of living in a major city and find some tranquility here in good hands were finished i think its beautiful here when. Sometimes it feels like its in the wrong place but its still beautiful and this is news from the start or feedback from the projects participants is important for. It helps them get a better understanding of what young people are missing. Kevin is currently reinventing himself and his work moving away from street art toward smaller formats right now hes experimenting with for oil pictures its work that he could continue doing in gurlitz as well. And yet. To be honest if you compare gurlitz to berlin its pretty an exciting here in terms of arthritis. And you can meet up and Exchange Ideas with artists from all over the world daemons who finished with toast and with that would hardly ever happen here. Chuff being here is great for creating art its quiet working spaces and studios are all affordable and theyre quite nice but id like to access the International Market in order to sell my work or the internet. And thats where berlin has a clear advantage. While kevin works sometimes until late at night frederica takes care of the children in berlin they would have never have been able to reach their daycare on foot here its a 15 minute walk. Thats just a huge relief and makes and daily routine a lot less stressful because were not stuck in traffic getting frustrated. Frederica asks some audio if she enjoys the wall prefers driving today can like they did in berlin and. Make it out to. A monastery she would prefer to be driven to day care like she was in berlin. When kevin can find the time he meets with his family in the afternoon so they can all go to the playground together. But so far frederica and kevin havent managed to make any acquaintances with the other girl its residents. Yeah but. We rarely meet other parents here who are open to inviting us to meet up sometimes. Their preference and. Those of us in berlin that happens more than a few people are more open towards strangers we have rangers here and in berlin almost everyone is a stranger because you cant know everyone. But we still manage to meet some really cool people at the playground. Amalia doesnt need her fathers hand she says she can do it herself. Right. Crudes. So far the family hasnt noticed the a. F. D. On their supporters at all. But they have noticed that the residents here do seem a bit more conservative. Than. The spaces are between us now i dont know if im just imagining it but it feels like were getting stared at more often here because were of an exotic looking in hip you know a young hip family and like i said maybe its all in my head before but thats what it feels like to me. After her Maternity Leave frederica wants to go back to her job in the culture industry but to her girl its has little culture to offer. And. To me its always important to make sure you dont get behind. This might be a good decision for the kids but i need to make sure that i fulfill my own needs as well have. A chance final evening in galatz in passing the project helped kevin to set up an exhibition. Here and at least a few culture enthusiastic show up. Nevertheless the family has made up its mind. Were not going to move here we had a great time and its a beautiful city. But the peoples mindset here just isnt open enough for us. But kevin could still picture coming back from time to time for certain projects. Grab a paddle and off you go.
