Think pink: German avant-garde = makes=20 colorful splash in Alexandria

Hoerbelt and = Winter=E2=80=99s=20 =E2=80=9CMahmoudiya=20 = Cratehouse=E2=80=9D

Project aims to reinvent concept of public space and = make art=20 accessible

ALEXANDRIA: Standing amongst a crowd of art snobs, government = officials=20 and giddy students, two old men dressed in galabiyas stick out = like a pair=20 of very sore thumbs.

The crowd has gathered along the Mahmoudiya canal, in an = industrial=20 part of town, to celebrate the unveiling of this city=E2=80=99s = latest piece of=20 public art: an avant-garde installation by the German duo of = Hoerbelt and=20 Winter.

And while the men in galabiyas have likely never heard of = Hoerbelt or=20 Winter =E2=80=94 nor read about the artists=E2=80=99 = highly-celebrated works in Korea,=20 Sweden and Brazil =E2=80=94 the wide grins on their faces say it = all: this is=20 fun.

In fact, built from 969 pink milk crates, Hoerbelt and = Winter=E2=80=99s=20 =E2=80=9CMahmoudiya Cratehouse=E2=80=9D looks less like an attempt = to redefine the=20 definitions of public space and more like a piece of candy glowing = in the=20 evening twilight.

The approach seems to cross cultural boundaries, too, says = Berthold=20 Hoerbelt, standing next to his creation.

=E2=80=9CAll [people] recognize that the crate is something you = find in=20 everyday life and that you can transform it into art,=E2=80=9D he = tells The Daily=20 Star Egypt.

Indeed, while a lot of avant-garde art is dour and pretentious, = the=20 work of Hoerbelt and Winter is exuberant and joyous.

Says Wolfgang Winter, =E2=80=9CThe crate is a thing that is = everywhere in the=20 world. A lot of sculptors work with stone =E2=80=94 we work with = things that are=20 all around us.=E2=80=9D

A joint project of the Alexandria Contemporary Arts Forum = (ACAF) and=20 the Goethe Instituit, the =E2=80=9CMahmoudiya Cratehouse=E2=80=9D = is also a major coup for=20 Alexandria=E2=80=99s small but growing art scene, which is just = starting to emerge=20 from Cairo=E2=80=99s shadow as a vital center for modern Egyptian = art.

Designed as an =E2=80=9Cintervention=E2=80=9D in the ebb and = flow of urban life, the=20 cratehouse is a place where people can examine the aesthetics of = urban=20 life =E2=80=94 or simply head inside and relax.

Construction, which Winter says resembles a = =E2=80=9Csandwich=E2=80=9D with the crates=20 connected by long screws in between a sturdy base and a durable = top, took=20 about two weeks.

=E2=80=9CWe finished yesterday =E2=80=94 it was quite a lot of = work,=E2=80=9D he says.

The project started last November, when Bassam El-Baroni, = co-owner of=20 ACAF, looked around his city and felt frustrated with what he = saw.

=E2=80=9COver the past five years we=E2=80=99ve had some pretty = bad public art in=20 Alexandria,=E2=80=9D he says.

Characterizing much of his city=E2=80=99s modern artistic = monuments as=20 =E2=80=9Cextremely kitschy=E2=80=9D and devoid of intellectual = weight, El-Baroni and his=20 team at ACAF set out to create a project that would help pull = Alexandria=E2=80=99s=20 art scene out of the dark ages.

=E2=80=9CIt=E2=80=99s a very small scene here and it=E2=80=99s = prone to a very classical way of=20 thinking,=E2=80=9D says El-Baroni. =E2=80=9CBut what we=E2=80=99ve = tried to do is to open up to=20 new developments and try to get in sync with what=E2=80=99s going = on in the rest=20 of the world. Alexandria can feel like a very isolated = place.=E2=80=9D

El-Baroni also wanted the project to have an educational = element that=20 would infuse fresh ideas into the city=E2=80=99s youth (see the = sidebar for more=20 detail).

After doing some research, El-Baroni found his ideal artists in = Hoerbelt and Winter. The duo is well known for their simple yet = elegant=20 creations that challenge and redefine the concepts of both art = materials=20 and their place in public space.

And when the Goethe Instituit signed on =E2=80=94 along with = some much-needed=20 funding from the German government =E2=80=94 the project, which = cost about LE=20 140,000 in total, was a go.

=E2=80=9CEverything fell into place in two months,=E2=80=9D = says El-Baroni.

Well, almost.

Along with difficulties in gaining permission to construct the=20 cratehouse along the canal, there were some quality issues with = some of=20 the building materials and issues with supplying the location with = electricity, according to the organizers.

=E2=80=9CWe try our best, but projects like this are very hard = to realize,=E2=80=9D=20 says the Goethe Instituit=E2=80=99s Stefan Winkler, standing = amongst other=20 dignitaries at the installation=E2=80=99s unveiling.

=E2=80=9CI=E2=80=99m really quite glad it=E2=80=99s finished. I = can=E2=80=99t believe it yet.=E2=80=9D

The location was chosen as an attempt to revitalize the canal = and the=20 surrounding areas. The canal was constructed in the 19th century = as a=20 transportation link to the Nile and is still the city=E2=80=99s = main source of=20 fresh water. However, the area has become a drab industrial = area.

The location was also picked to allow the locals, like the men = in=20 galabiyas, a chance to interact with a piece of modern art.

=E2=80=9CThe ordinary classes see art as something really far = away from them,=E2=80=9D=20 says El-Baroni.

=E2=80=9CThe cratehouse is a work that is approachable and = enjoyable.=E2=80=9D

Last March, Hoerbelt and Winter departed from their = headquarters in=20 Frankfurt and ensconced themselves at the Alexandria University, = where=20 they coached young students on everything from the use of = unorthodox=20 materials and the functionality of public art to definitions of = public=20 space.

=E2=80=9CI didn=E2=80=99t think it was possible. No one knew = what to expect from the=20 students, but after settling in, we had some great discussions = about art,=E2=80=9D=20 says Winter, noting that working in Alexandria has been = =E2=80=9Ctotally different=20 from other places =E2=80=A6 there=E2=80=99s a totally different = mentality.=E2=80=9D

=E2=80=9CThey got to see how we worked and we got to see how = they worked.=E2=80=9D

After the workshop sessions, the students were then given an=20 assignment: take weird materials and design innovative pieces of = public=20 art.

And last weekend at ACAF, the students had the chance to show = their=20 stuff.

Hind Nawari, a 21-year-old student at the University of = Alexandria,=20 designed a floating caf=C3=A9 made out of car and truck spare = parts. Her=20 design, shown as a computer-generated drawing, uses tires as = tables, car=20 doors as kitchen doors and old car seats as the = caf=C3=A9=E2=80=99s chairs.

She says it=E2=80=99s a nod to both Alexandria=E2=80=99s = seacoast and the choking=20 traffic that afflicts the city during the summer months.

The piece de resistance, however, is the caf=C3=A9=E2=80=99s = roof, which is filled=20 with streetlights and is topped by a bus. The menu is also themed = for road=20 warriors.

=E2=80=9CWe used slang Arabic,=E2=80=9D she says, noting that = the words are the kind=20 used by bus drivers.

The work is imaginative and irreverent, and Nawari says that = learning=20 from Hoerbelt and Winter was a great chance to expand her horizons = and=20 branch out from her usual studies.

=E2=80=9CHere in Alexandria, it=E2=80=99s all classical = art,=E2=80=9D she says. =E2=80=9CEverything has=20 to be clear detailed. This kind of abstract art doesn=E2=80=99t = exist here.=E2=80=9D

The project also gave her the chance to collaborate with Martin = Flemming, a student from Germany, and other students on the = fantastic=20 installation piece =E2=80=9C1,440 Times a Day,=E2=80=9D which is = basically a square=20 plastic box that blinks on and off, illuminating the word = =E2=80=9Chi.=E2=80=9D

Alexandria=E2=80=99s governor, Adel Labib meanwhile, also seems = pleased with=20 the results.

=E2=80=9CThis is just the beginning,=E2=80=9D he said during an = interview. =E2=80=9CWe=E2=80=99re=20 looking forward to more cooperation between Egypt and Germany in = the field=20 of art, especially between = students.=E2=80=9D
