Talk Post Zusammenfassung Walkthrough Anomalie Art Club 10.08.2019

Meeting Anomalie 10.08.2019

Main Infos from the Meeting + Impressions

• Impressive club with a lot of opportunities to create a true Burn-vibe
• BYO / running our own bar will be possible, hence we can try and make the principle of gifting work on this special evening. Usually that’s not as easy to implement in a Berlin Club environment. Feels like a chance to create something amazing.
• Lots of space for performances and art. Inside space is big and variable enough to be unconcerned by weather. It is very easy and possible to move outside activities to the indoors floors
• The people we spoke to seemed eager to help and seem to have a ‚can do‘ attitude in general. Things that are usually a hassle (fire!) are possible, which is great
• This place is huge. With 100 people this place seems completely empty, probably, unless everybody gathers. We need to make some noise. We should aim for 1000 - 1200 guests minimum. Now, we had that number at Birgit & Bier, but that included all the non-burner tourists as well. Anomalie isn’t something someone just stumbles over. Additionally, we are planning to make it BYO - so it is very important to have people who get the spirit of bringing extra to share.

Description of the Venue

• Venue has 5 ‚Areas/ KIeze / Floors‘ to our availability. Some of them big enough to maybe even be split by curtains or other devices
• Outside
  • The outside is huge. There are plenty of seating areas around the outside, including some hidden spots & platforms to climb on. There are huge decorative objects (f.e. water cubes with plants). Maybe they could be moved to make space?
  • The outside has a container bar. Next to the container bar is a huge free standing wooden platform which lends itself to food sharing or gifting table
  • The outside has a skateboarding half pipe
  • On Top of the bar is another container which is currently being prepared to provide space as well.
    
  • The wardrobe is outside as well
• Werkstatt
  • Smaller of the two insider music floors. Typical Berlin club style, very cute, very handmade. Lots of opportunities for deco to go crazy. Great light and sound system
• Big Floor
  • A huge dream of a floor made of concrete, tall columns, an impressive light system, great sound system
  • Bar
  • Fits many many many people
• Teakitchen
  • Super sweet chill out hut which is usually serving tea and comfort
  • The entrance falls are lined with pink fluffy fabric and shit. It is very comfy already
  • Possibly a great place for a more sensual are with cuddle space
    
• ‚Restaurant‘
  • Fancy restaurant that can be emptied of chairs and tables. Then it is a huge room with a slightly lifted stage / modest in the back
  • Amazing indoor workshop space.

What to do now / Questions that need to be answered now

• We need to get the word out ASAP. It is two months until the event. We want as much art as possible, we may be able to help with transporting art. We want workshops and performances
• Are we - and in yes in what dimension - able to support artists with Mini-Dreams? What are the procedures? This would go in to the hands of our new finance lead, which we still need to find …
• Ideas to throw out there and see if someone picks them up: EFFIGY BURN, OPENING RITUAL, SENSUAL AREA IN ONE OF THE SMALLER ROOMS, LIFE & INTERACTIVE CREATING OF ART AND ART PIECES, MAPPING & VISUALS, WORKSHOPS, MOVING ACTS / PERFORMANCES, FOOD / TEA / WATERBARS
• Write to camps and artists and groups directly to engage them

Direct questions for leads

• @Hans as Transportlead would you be up for the idea to support artists in getting bigger art pieces to the venue? This could be a good motivator for artists as they can bring their piece without worrying about how to transport it
