Jan gave me a bag of Lego, before I travelled to South Kurdistan for the art project “Space 21.” I promised to find a place for his work. When I visited the Amna Suraka (the red museum), the former prison of Saddam Hussein’s intelligence service, where the Kurds were tortured until the liberation in 1991, I felt that this place had a very sad energy that needed Jans positive and colourful work as a symbol for a brighter future.

When you walk through the main entrance of Amna Suraka you find the Dispatchwork at the building in front of you on the upper left side of the facade.
