I’ve been thinking about gestalt therapy, minimalism, and here, how an object reveals itself on a fluid and ever shifting surface. And, how the figures on board, with our shared gaze, become a part of the object. In the words of Robert Morris: “Simplicity of shape does not necessarily equate with simplicity of experience. Unitary forms do not reduce relationships. They order them.” ▪️🖤🏴‍☠️

Continuing with our recap… On occasion, an everyday object is described as a “work of art”, connotating some kind of greater significance. In the case of our boat, when approaching top speed, it was loudly clear that this was much more than art, producing a greater sensation than what art rarely delivers. First of all, it didn’t fall apart, even at great speed and under immense force. Inside the cabin, passengers calmly played a board game, while on the outside, a party erupted as we approached 18 knots. We even earned our first speeding ticket and safely moored alongside the police. It continues to be a learning experience. ;)

The beginning of a recap of a few wonderful months… On an unusually summery day on September 20, 2025, we launched our boat, officially named Untitled, in Rummelsburg, Berlin. Without having tested the motor, only a few were invited to what we will call a preliminary test launch. Our captain @bootsbaulorenz, who has many more years of experience than us, sympathized with the anxiety of not being able to anticipate what might go wrong and therefore not inviting the world, but impressed upon us the magnitude of the occasion, “It only happens one time, so cherish the moment!” He continued with a short blessing. Dan checked for leaks. Hassan made a toast. The boat floats! We are grateful. Cheers! 🥂 🍻 🛥️ We’ll do it again in Spring! #refugee

A few shots of our opening last weekend! The ship was duly stress tested by our friends, their ecstatic children and public! Thanks to everyone who came on board for what was a splendid afternoon of talking, sharing, slurping oysters and champagne. The yacht will be on view until mid-June, floating on the front lot of the Fahrbereitschaft as our self-made readymade, and yes, as a very nice boat. Events, critical discussions and concerts of the Consider Listening series also continue through the summer.
