2.1 - The Auction

Dear Friends, the story goes on.

We decided to open this blog with information that could be useful today so will stick on what is important for Upstairs63 today.

- the fifth floor:

We had to ask for permission.

Why?

Valeria: “Joanna was a lawyer and Joachim is German so we HAD to ask for permission”

Joanna: “No… really…the thing is…”

The building has no owner, the last owner went bankrupt but a bank now administrates it through the Hausverwaltung and Zwangsverwalter Erhard Gähler. We wanted to start with good relationship with them and proposed them to use this empty space. It worked for a season. We did an exhibition, respecting the conditions given.

It went well, but after that the space was locked again, there were complains about us leaving some works inside. They said we couldn’t use it because the situation was not clear, the next Auction was coming.
