Joachim to upstairs 63

Upstairs for me is to be somehow outside of the world, inside a field where i realy can do and explore what i want to. Upstairs is calling people who just cant stop doing there work possessed of there idea this work is important for them, important for the world and that is somebody needed to do what there are doing. Placed in Berlin, a special area of relatively freedom and open possibilities Upstairs shall and is calling the kind of people i need to deal to process and to develop the things i have to do. And I hope to be the one wich can give clues an ideas about projects around that place.

Its a unique area to have even though such places for me are very familiar in Berlin. Its one of hundreds of lost places over here, but now its starting to stand for a dying kind of areas. The speed of destroying beautiful places like this for the needs of market is hardly increasing through the last decade. I don’t feel to possess this place, nobody can do apart from destroying it. I feel i live in that place and live that place as it is.

Why to use such a place seems a big question between the people living upstairs.
Every answer ive heard the last days is far away of the feeling i have when i enter that rooms.

Of cause, is a place outside the market with no intensions to chance or lead your way because of expectations but because of experiences. But is that important to know when youre are able to feel it?
Ist not wanting anyting but it sharing everyting it gots, so go and share all experiences with that place, everything you got!

This space is offering so generously that to ask why to use is is some kind of a sakrileg.
Nowing all the possibilitys for some its realy possible to ask: So why to use such a place???

Because its one of the best places ive ever seen and I feel home

And questions are never stopping.
Why its the best place and why your are feeling home?
….
….
I don’t care!
You realy need to bother me and yourself with that questions?

Arent this place is giving you anything what you need to proceed in your moment?

If not: Why you are here? Go home!
If yes: Why you are deciding asking answered questions again and again and stop proceeding for that reason? I think you are here to have done things needed to be done? Go one and proceed in your way! Upstairs is a catalyst for almost any question apart from asking why upstairs? Again and again and again.

This place there its allowed and needed to ask questions about your work and not about the place itself. Ask how to connect rooms, to destill alcohol and where to hide it best within upstairs, how to make that this alcohol will reach the goal of changing a part of the world, why and how to help drowned African families, how to catch the moon with the branches of asian trees or perhaps how to print orange in a proper way.

Wake up and proceed in your way! That’s why you are here now, that’s why you came, that’s how this place can help you!

I go to paint…

See you upstairs
