Travail est des élèves de l’IME de Noeux les Mines au LP Mendès France de Bruay. Les élèves ont bouché des trous dans le lycée avec des legos. Ils ont beaucoup aimé cette activité.
Im Rahmen der Projekttage im Juni 2023 haben wir uns als Schüler:innen entschieden, die unschönen Ecken unserer Schule mit Lego bunter zu gestalten. Auch in der Frechener Innentstadt, an der Stadtbücherei, haben wir für ein wenig Farbe gesorgt.
During the project days in June 2023, us students decided to fill the shabby corners of school with colorful Legos. We did as well bring some color to our inner City, right behind the public library.
At L’Echandole in the castle of Yverdon-les-Bains, we organized a big participatory day of reparations. As an echo to the real restoration the castle is undergoing, we decided to help repair it too !

Progetto Scuola dell’Infanzia dell’Istituto Comprensivo “Pitagora” di Bernalda (MT) intitolato “Coloriamo tutti i muri….con una manciata di lego”. L’idea è stata di individuare un luogo-simbolo, Complesso Scolastico “Anacreonte”, su cui accendere i riflettori per sensibilizzare la comunità, sul suo valore sia esso storico-artistico-architettonico che culturale ed identitario, per stimolare processi virtuosi di valorizzazione, di tutela e cittadinanza attiva, perché “si ama ciò che si conosce e si tutela ciò che si ama”. svilupperà, così, ponendo le basi sulla educazione alla “Cittadinanza attiva”, intesa come costruzione dell’identità individuale, culturale e sociale, nella convinzione che un cambiamento sociale e culturale sia possibile solo a partire da una nuova attenzione ai bambini già nei primi sei anni di vita e dalla diffusione di una cultura dell’infanzia e per l’infanzia. Pur consapevoli di non poter risolvere da soli problemi spesso molto grandi, l’educazione però può far molto per sostenere la speranza di un mondo migliore costruito attraverso l’impegno dei singoli e delle comunità. Rapportandosi così con il proprio contesto locale di vita quotidiana, perché la città è un grande laboratorio didattico, campo del fare attivo e, come ci ricorda Calvino, “Le città sono un insieme di tante cose: di memorie, di desideri, di segni di un linguaggio… luoghi di scambio” (Città invisibili).

We came across Jan Vormann’s “Dispatchwork” and loved the idea. We commissioned local creative and LEGO craftsman, Adrian Ramirez, to patch some missing bricks at 9th Street Studios. Epic photos were provided by Artist, Simon Welch, and brought another level of interaction to our building’s new addition.

Participating at the Festival for Inclusivity, “See the world my way” – Listened to very inspiring speakers of the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, Guggenhei Collection Venice and Kunsthistorisches Musem Wien, who all spoke about their efforts to make the Arts available for everybody. Definitely a topic that has to be improved on. The Conference took place in the italian courtyard inside the museum, right next to the Cast of David from Milan.

A last one on my way to the trainstation with Javier Abarca. Javi is an artist, researcher and educator in the fields of graffiti and street art. A leading figure from the first generation of Spanish graffiti, he taught a class on graffiti and street art at the Complutense University of Madrid between 2006 and 2015. He is founder and director of the Unlock Book Fair and the Tag Conference. He founded the website Urbanario in 2008. He works in teaching, curating and writing across Europe.

High fluctuation, the patch was probably gone after a few hours.
The last days of Manchester, finding these weird places like a church next to a Car Center.
Next to the hotel we stayed in and a piece by Invader. Ever want some excitement on your Manchester trip? Stay in this hotel on Tib street. The lobby is the only place that let’s you have wifi and there’s high-life non-stop. Countless adventures waiting for you.
Nice place to go for a stroll, the Northern Quarter. Here 4 arches left standing which seem to have been part of a former fish market. I’d love an actual fish market in that place rather than these modern buildings. Coming from a continental place, fish markets are places that evoke in me the feeling of holidays.
A quick one most likely gone within hours. A lot of passers in this street. They shot a movie right around the corner too, catering trucks and roadblocks all around. Maybe find it in the background on the big screen soon.
On my walk around town before the conference I hid a couple of easter eggs to be found by the attentive Passersby.
Being part of the Social Surfaces Conference as a speaker I walked through the streets to get to know Manchester and find me some quiet spots to leave a couple of patches. This one was done right next to a ad-buff by Jordan Seyler, whom I met for the conference first. Check his Instagram, definitely recommended. https://www.instagram.com/jordanseiler/
This building was an old Chevrolet store front from the early 1900s. This old Chevrolet building has since been transformed into a hub for small businesses, yet it never received a proper upgrade to its facade and continued to lose bricks over the years. My siblings and I decided it was due for a proper make over. We began with the most obvious areas in need of improvement and filled in those areas first. We plan on making it a community wide affair and start a Lego drive at school, in order to continue the good work of Dispatch.
We are in Korea. It is a group of everyday people, mostly mommies, who love art and try out different artist’s artworks. Jan Vormann’s dispatch inspired us so much and so we did as follows. We went to an old chapel in a church in a place called Me-hyang-li, in Hwaseong-si, and did some dispatch work there. Hwaseong-si is where we all live in.
Me-hyang-li has been used as a shooting range for the past 60 years by the US military until recently. So naturally, the area was filled with unwanted bullet shells, debris and smokes from all sorts of explosions. It sometimes leads to casualties, which made the villagers devastated, but had to take it on, all on their own. This made the people living in the area eventually flee and move out of Me-hyang-li, making the place more disagreeable to live in.
After a hard struggle against the USFK, the Me-hyang-li shooting range was closed, but it is still a place where painful history is underway due to various political and environmental factors.
The former chapel of Maehyang-ri’s old church has been transformed into a cultural and artistic space under the Eco-Museum project in Gyeonggi-do and has been established as a ‘Me-hyang-ri Studio.’
We were proud that with Jan Vormann’s dispatchwork project, we could also help our neighborhood (a little far but still, neighborhood ·ᴗ·) heal a little. Thank you so much, Jan!!

There’s that thrill of peeking into windows to catch a glimpse of other people’s lifes. It’s comparable to the sensation when you are about to write an illegal graffiti or nick a desired object – This absolute unit took 5 people 5 hours to construct, standing around it like around a fire, singing, talking and telling stupid jokes.

One of the recent works in Besançon at Bien Urbain festival making artists dream to work in their public spaces. Plenty material and many helping extra hands and eyes. This one took us 5 hours to construct, with a little passageway to discover the inside. Thanks Marie! with a view on the citadel, the conservatory and a fantastic mural of www.instagram.com/steveespopowers from an earlier edition of Bien Urbain.
Dispatchwork is more than just me squeezing intricate shapes into fissures and cracks of broken walls. Here you see a whole neighborhood of Besançon mending the century old city wall on the opening weekend of Bien Urbain – 8 swiftly passing hours of collective work shared between all ages. In these moments nothing else is more important than fitting the little pieces in perfectly. No matter your origin, gender, skin color, religion, disabilities, age – what counts here is to find the right pieces for structural support and to add an arch or a little window. This is Dispatchwork.

Near the Anatomy Rooms, Nuart Hub 2019!
When you read these lines, it’ll be roughly 400 years since the man named Indian Pete has passed. The history books tell us, this wall that you are seeing in the picture, “is one of the oldest in this grand city [of Aberdeen]. It had formerly been a part of an old townhouse known as Aedies House. Built around 1604 and finally demolished in 1914 it held a dark history. Believed as it was to have been a holding house for children stolen off the streets to be sold as slaves in America. […] Around 700 children would be kidnapped from the streets. Their fate, to be kept in holding houses like Aedies until there were enough of them to transport.”
Someone told me that a bagpipe was played every night, to drown the screaming of these doomed kids. Who knows really, but the one story everybody agrees on is the story of Peter Williamson. His parents “reputable though not rich” sent him to live with an aunt in Aberdeen. In a cold night in January 1743 Peter was kidnapped while playing on the quay. With the age of 8 years, he was abducted to America as a slave, and sold for 16£ to work on a plantation.
I’ll spare you the details of his gruesome return to his birthplace of Aberdeen, since you can now easily look it up online. And I tell you in advance it is a story of deep desolation, describing the cruelty of the so-called “discovery of the new world” and the horrors of slavery connected to it. But it is also a story of hope. And, as his clumsily chosen name suggests, there are Native Americans involved as well as the final return to Scotland which, however, left him “banished from Aberdeen as a vagrant” for telling his story.
Ultimately, Indian Pete was able to make a living from a succesful tavern he ran in Edinburgh, for poets and lawyers. But until this day, his story haunts the Aberdonians. Another local whispered to me on the night i took this picture, on the staircase that leads up from The Green to buzzing Union street, that him and others had seen, from afar and late at night, children in nightgowns sitting on precisely these stairs.

We fixed the corner of this street and met the owners of the pizzeria that were thrilled by the spontaneaus and colorful builders working on their wall. They insisted to offer us coffe for the work, we were delighted to accept. Note the little window and the tiny lego-man living in this somewhat cosy little nest in the heart of Brussels oldest neighborhood. Even better : a few helixes hanging from the wall provide the little inhabitant with a free supply of wind energy. Such a luxury, living in a priceless spot in a ever more expensve area. What a smart little yellow-guy !
A few bricks that did just the trick ! Facing the best view in Brussels, steps away from the massive Palais de Justice.

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.

I left my signature on it : )
I’m Karl, 14 years old from Mainland China. I have been playing Lego for over 10 years. This fixed piece is in my community. I did it in my spare time, about 1 hour. It was easier to fix. I made it by myself again. And I would like to promote so that more people could join.
A wall a.c. unit left a hole in the wall, it is now patched with Duplo blocks and a tiny window.
Some kids who love Lego wanted to consolidate the wall of the church, just in front of their school !
It was a freezing morning !

I am writing about a dispatchwork made at my place of work- it is a business condominium which is of open access to the public.
