Genau

It has become a tradition for us to write a blog post at the end of the year that sums up what we have been up to in the year passed by (2007, 2008).

If 2008 was a break-through year for Genau, 2009 was so even more. The income from jobs exploded so we ended up with an income roughly 5 times as big as previous years. Some of our work is on show in the about/portfolio section.

One of our favourite projects of 2009 was the “Os på Sjælør” project. Sjælør Boulevard is a residential area in Copenhagen most known for its heavy social and criminal reputation but things are getting better thanks to the Os på Sjælør project and other efforts. Read a previous blog post about the project.

The financial situation allowed us to expand and create our own shared office space at Bryggen 93, 2nd floor. The office fills 9 people. Genau still only consists of two people though, but the boundaries between the different companies at the place have certainly become blurred since we have been collaborating with both Christie (netseeds.dk), Ulrik, and White Walls of DK in real money projects.

Our usual underground or activist projects have been few if any this year. We see the Bryggen 93 place as such an activity though. In 2010 we want to invite you for more progressive events – a few film nights are already in the pipeline so stay updated by following us on our co-edited twitter account: @brygen93. Of course you are always welcome to drop by for coffee or a quick game of table tennis. See you in 2010!
