Pirmas ispudis/eerste indruk

The gallery with a locked doors.
If you want to come in you have to ring the bell. You have to be really interested in the works they have (Het is niet de bedoeling dat je even langs komt). The first answer to the question 'why, do they lock the door', was safety, afterwards they told me that it's all about intimacy.

Artists are moving out, rich people moving in. A lot of galleries are closing.


I made a list of new constitution sentences, which are based on the information I've got from people. I met those people at different places in Uzupis, during the walk with the minister of foreign affairs of Uzupis.


'Galleries have the right to have more gallery neighbours'


‘Don’t pray to a golden calf’


‘Don’t betray Užupis’


‘Uzupian dog is better then any other dog – he loves you more then life. A person has a right to feel patriotic about Uzupis."


'People have the right to have indoor skate park'


'A person has the right to get vegetarian food'


'A person has a right to be neat'


'A person has the right to get orders or work under discipline'


'A person has the right to study what he really likes'



My conclussion, my new sentences for the constitution:


'A person has the right to live without the fear'


'A person has the right to be honest'


'A person has the right not to be scared of his own thoughts'


'A person has the right to live without thinking about the profit, to be motivated by own satisfaction'


'A person has the right to be idealistic'
