Date: from December 2003 ongoing (irregular and not-announced)
Hinz&Kunzt is the name of the street magazine sold by homeless people in the streets of Hamburg. On crucial entrances (stations, supermarkets, shops, theaters, museums, banks,...) the magazine is sold. The sellers function as gatekeepers and portiers. A number of artists will develop an insert for the magazine that the seller will add before selling a magazine. The project questions the distribution and dispersion of an art work over the city and values the hard profession of the homeless people. Only one homeless person will sell the inserts. The project is considered a cooperation between two persons.
