File this under conceptual public art! Forwarded from Thomas Bratzke in Germany:

I am a young german artist from Berlin doing projects that focus on the urban landspace and how it is perceived/used by the citizens for example.

I would like to introduce you a project of mine that is called 'ZAST REAL ESTATE'.

I am mapping a city from the perspective of a street artist/graff writer etc. o find places which habe the potential for a change. To find empty or unused surfaces and other spaces. Photos of the places and all the informations about measurements, material, daily contacts etc. are collected for a real estate catalogue. I am not asking the owners if I can use their building and include it in the catalogue, this is part of the concept.
Then I open up the 'ZAST REAL ESTATE' office and people can come by and inform themselves about places in their own city, thy are invited to choos a place, make up their minds and produce sketches. I am also offering couselling interviews and surveys and technical support to help people to start something, a change or just a little playing maybe.
I am collecting all the sketches and hand them out to persons in public and privat institutions who are dealing with urban space to show them the ideas of those who are not frequently working in this field.

If you find some time one day please check my website for further details and the development of the project.
