FLAG ALMANAC 2008 2x12 for generalpublic Every month Beatrice Jugert hoisted two new flags on the former GDR flagpoles that stand in front of the General Public project space. The flag-raising rituals dealt with elemental concepts, generalizing an ideal. The artist invited a range of different musicians to participate in developing suitable hymns, which included jodeling, morse codes, sampling. The stagings delineate questions of affinity and exclusion, covering a scope of emotions ranging from sereneness to somber apocalyptic sentiment. General Public was founded in Fall 2005 and is run by a group of cultural workers. 1. January...........ALL 2. February.........IDEAL 3. March..............ACTIVIST 4. April.................NORMAL 5.
