KINDERVIEW 2005
A project with 15 children in Berlin, Soldiner Kiez – a neighbourhood with strong immigration percentage. During the summer the children made 10 interviews with adults from different professional and social backgrounds. The interviews were directed by the children, trying to reverse the usual power structure between adults and children. This work resulted in: 1). A neighbourhood newspaper, printed and distributed for free to 8.000 homes in Soldiner Kiez and 2). A video film documenting the interviews.

A video interview with Edith Richter – widow of late Gerhard Richter (died 07.02.2005) and 3).

PUNISHING “THE PUNISHMENT” 2005
From: CornerMark <tbrewitz@cornermark.com>
To: kristoferpaetau@gmail.com, ARTINFO-L@listserv.dfn.de
Subject: Re: KIDS AVANTGARDE Part 2: “The Punishment”
Mr. Kristofer Paetau, I view your not very artful “The Punishment” which is an anti-American piece teaching German children to hate and disrespect a sitting American President while lacking valid reasons, rational thoughts, artistic expression, or attention to factual data. It was truly Punishing to view. (…) Perhaps you would like to make fun of the Communist/Socialist Dictator freaks who are our enemies instead. You could start with Saddam Hussein where Stalin was his role model along with Che Gueverra, Mao and others:

Re-Institutionalize#07: PIET’S VOYAGE 2005
Piet is not an artist, but he is a good example for artists I think. He told me that he wanted to stay abroad for a longer period, and that he was not sure how and where to travel. I asked him to send me about ten pictures from his destination as an ‘evidence’ of his trip – without telling me where he has been.
