January 21st. and 22nd., Trial&Error was invited to Köln, to take part in the “Messe der Meister von Morgen” (M.M.M.). We were invited by Büromacht to this event, developed inside the activites of the Passagen 2012, and it was a pleasure to make a workshop and spend time creating some stuff from “real trash” (carefully collected) with the very nice people from Jack in the Box (amazing works!) and all the visitors!
We enjoyed a lot with all workshops that took part there, and is really nice to meet so many upcyclers to create together.
Thank you to all the people were there, specially to all the crew from Büromacht and Jack In The Box!! We hope come back to Köln soon!

Kiezmobil // mindblowing bench creature
YEAH! The first Kiezmobil Workshop “Müll Materialien” which took place at Ida Nowhere at mothers day was a fantastic action with an awesome result. The great people of the neighbourhood developed together with Trial&Error a mind blowing MaterialSammelStation so called Trash Bench. It’s an overwhelmingly creative, comfortable and crazy bench made out of trash, that’s guarding the beautiful material boxes, bags or baskets to collect material for the Kiezmobil. See how much fun it is and join the next workshop on the 21rst may in Pepe’s Bike Shop // Mareschstraße 16.
Sperrgutmarkt @Spreewaldbad
The last weekend of April, Trial & Error was upcycling used and broken furniture into unique pieces on the very spot at the Sperrgutmarkt.
Together with the GEKKO Reichenberger in Kreuzberg, the Nachbarschaftshaus Urbanstraße, the BSR and of course great people from the neighbourhood, we spent the afternoon on, in, under and surrounded by furniture. All the guests were invited to upcycle their own beloved piece or simply work on broken things. Once upcycled, they have been put back for people to take them or been taken by the upcyclers themselves. See the awesome results!
For more pictures of this event have a look at the Sperrgut Album.
Join us on the next Sperrgutmarkt. This will be organized twice a year, in spring and fall. We will keep you updated!
On Easter Monday Trial & Error was invited to upcycle on the spot in a hidden garden in the heart of Rixdorf, Neukölln. Together with kind locals and the association Netzwerk Stadtraumkultur e.V. we spent the afternoon picking up trash, eating Easter chocolate rabbits and upcycling an old abandoned fridge into a colourful bench.
The bench is now happily sitting on the Streuobstwiese and represents joint efforts for building a better and nicer neighbourhood. The same spirit that follows our Kiezmobil project! We have now a new blog that will document its progress separately and in German. Schau mal rein! http://kiezmobil.tumblr.com/
