often leave artistic initiatives facilities and only traces in the memories of those who share it. Especially at the local level, the sustainability of lived to create art is difficult, even if it has lured international protagonists. Harald Kubiczak occurs against the duck now, in the case of the "Kästrich. Over ten years he has led in 1990, launched an independent forum for art and embossed, developed his ideas and networking skills to become a vital center of the artistic life of the state capital. Now he has also produced a book that looks at these ten years with an interval of once a decade. In the publication "Kästrich - an independent forum for art," the first copy he now has enough of Cultural Affairs Peter Krawietz, he documented with about 350 illustrations and text that had taken place exhibitions, installations, performances and concerts with over 70 artists from home and abroad. Together with Daniel Graves of the artists first took over a disused tobacco and magazine store in Kästrich. Chance had his fingers in play, because Kubiczak, who grew up in Mainz and studied has parked his car there one day. decency as the sale a year later, pulled the "Kästrich" around, also in a tobacco shop in the Breidenbacher road. The first residence brought some surprises with it, including many books and other products from the former store, which should provide the basis for the first exhibition.
Krawietz appreciates the art project as "one of the few forums for contemporary art" in his time. Especially the independent cultural scene has acquired in Mainz are many merits. In the "Kästrich" in particular the art was shown, which have long not been included in publicly funded institutions. Through a private sponsor who wishes to remain anonymous, he has now Kubiczak the publication in the specially established publishing house "circuit style" can make.

There was a "reflection on life, reality and art as well as to the relationship." At that time it has managed to be accepted in the neighborhood next to the local shops take for granted. Neighbors came in, attended the exhibitions or new installations, many children are always curious entered. For Kubiczak was the "more interesting than an area into which any pure trusts." Many impetus came from the Dutch artist Paul Panhuysen, in Amsterdam the "Apollohuis" has operated. But many other artists were on. From October 1992 to September 1993, she produced some of them together a little magazine titled "Observation", in which they exchanged with each other.
