............................................................ ............................................................ ................................... *In The Dark Heart Of Mitte*...................................................... ................................................... ............................................................ ............................................................ ................................... No Style Fuckers or NSF started in 2003 as a D.I.Y. print performance and propaganda project and consists of an undefined number of people centered around the Fleischerei 116 Torstrasse in Berlin Mitte . In East German times and until 2000 the Fleischerei was a place for meat processing and a butchers shop. Since 2002 it exists as an open collective space for screen printing, street art, music rehearsal and production , design ateliers , gallery and meeting point for those interested in sticky subculture. Its a subsidiary from "Unter Druck - Kultur von der Straße eV" which is a socio-cultural association that also works with ostracised and homeless people in Berlin...................................................... ............................................................ ............................... ............................................................ ............................................................ ................................... Rent is paid in part through the selling of Fleischerei screenprint products from the original Butchers counter and also in part through screen print commissions. Around 8 people are regularly busy with running the production, the store and the various ateliers , together with a much larger support network in Berlin and abroad. Fleischerei produces its own stickers, patches, posters, magazines, books, textiles and accessoires. Also packaging for vinyl, CD and tape releases from the Fleischerei linux based recording studio "AFA"....................................................... ..................................... ............................................................ ............................................................ .................................. At the time of writing, the future for Fleischerei is unclear. The building has recently been sold to private business and the rent will increase. Fleischerei proposes to develop the location together with the "Rosenthalerstrasse Gmbh" by making a Bistro and upgrading the various ateliers. There is some reserved dialogue with the new owners...................................................... ............................................................ ................... ............................................................ ............................................................ ................................... *Hoch die Knochen!* ............................................................ ............................................................ ................................... A media campaign (Bürgerinitiative - Rettet die Fleischerei) is currently underway. Thousands of screen printed fleshy bone motifs are being hand produced and stuck on walls and in local stores as part of the Fleischerei street battle for existence .There is a tremendous amount of local and international support with a large petition of signatures and some interest from local government...................................... ............................................................ ............................................................ .................................. the store is normally open monday thru saturday 14.00 till 20.00 or you can order stuff at www.royaltrash.net ............................................................ ............................................................ ..................................http://foto.obin.org/berli n, http://www.fleischereiblog.de, http://nostylefuckers.sub.cc
