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.

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.

My son and I did work Tustin, California.
Our job was to give support to the existing bricks from falling and to fill the big gap in the center. It took us 3 hours to complete.
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.

Plusieurs interventions sur les murs entourant le château de Gesves
I fixed the damaged step in the park which is near the my home. It’s challenging and interesting. I made it by myself. I was attracted by many tourists when I fixed it.
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 !
We are architects and LEGO fans. We have developed a workflow on the BIM Revit Architecture software. As Jan Vormann, we butch some old walls with bricks created in Revit software.

On this occasion the group in collaboration with the Spanish Cultural Center in Santo Domingo, invite us to participate in the intervention Dispatchwork in the Colonial City to be held in the first weeks of May, the program of said activity comprises two panels and the Creation of three intervention routes with the insertion of pieces of “lego” in fissures of buildings, urban furnishings and sidewalks. The panels will take place on May 3 and 4 at 7:00 PM in the Maria Ugarte Room of the referred center, and will include Esther Hernández-Medina, Marcos Barinas, Marcos Blonda, Incursiones (collective Venezuelan), Alex Martínez Suárez, Mauricia Domínguez, Miguel Piccini and Jan Vormann, whose lectures will revolve around the construction and linking of the inhabitants with the cities and above all with the historical centers.
What we want on the one hand is to emphasize the participatory aspect of the construction of cities, which are the imaginary platform – and tangible at the same time
Where our life in society develops, and in addition, contribute in the bonding of the citizens with the historical centers of our cities, for that reason our action mainly is oriented to the creation of routes within them and in the Concrete case of the Colonial City the routes are based on the literary recreation. Of this historical center: chronicle, memory, tourist itinerary and novel, product of a very well-researched investigation by Miguel Piccini.
The photos were taken by Alex Martinez Suarez, Luis Graham and Miguel Piccini.
We are NOMAMI Team. This is our Dispatchwork in San Telmo’s Park Music Pavillion in the city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

SeaChange are an independent arts development charity based at the Drill Hall in Great Yarmouth. They collaborate internationally and are dedicated to delivering outstanding opportunities for artists and communities through supporting, hosting and delivering circus and street arts projects and events. SeaChange also hosts the Great Yarmouth “Out There Festival” annually in September which this year celebrates its 10th Year.
This Dispatchwork was created as part of the “Up Our Street” project which is all about transforming the local neigbourhood around the Drill Hall area, through a range of creative and gardening activities, from murals to street furniture, gardening to upcycling.
Over two days local children living in around the area participated in creating this dispatchwork which has raised many smiles already. The installation features on the crumbling corner of one of the many murals that was created by the artist John Dashwood. This mural depicts the Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson which Great Yarmouth had close links with in the 18th Century
I recently went on a trip to Cambodia on the 8-13 December and visited an ancient temple called Prasat Beng Mealea. it was built during the reign of King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century.
Beng Mealea or Bung Mealea is a temple in the Angkor Wat period located 40 km east of the main group of temples at Angkor, Cambodia, on the ancient royal highway to Preah Khan Kompong Svay.

The Lake District has long been a source of artistic inspiration and is one of the central themes of the 2017 bid for World Heritage status. The identity, inspiration and desire to look after this spectacular landscape combines to create an evolving masterpiece – the perfect backdrop against which to launch a new, contemporary digital arts festival.

Thanks very much to Magdalena and her class of third graders who intervened in their schoolyard’s decaying walls.
A seaside town on the east coast of Norfolk, Great Yarmouth has experienced many ups and downs during its past. Today this has left us with a diverse and fascinating cultural heritage in a struggling economic era. Despite this Great Yarmouth still welcomes many holiday visitors during the summer season and is growing in its festival calendar to reflect the many qualities the town has. There are many organisations in the town developing projects with which to highlight conserving the towns’ heritage while developing a more dynamic spirit to reinvigorate the town.
Our first submission to dispatchwork for Great Yarmouth’s patch, is for the Great Yarmouth Preservation Trust – Great Yarmouth Town Wall, in the view of producing more fun submissions in the area for museums and creative arts groups while also trying to inspire some more people to join the game and play with construction bricks to create colourful fun areas of the town.
It is claimed that historic Yarmouth has the second best preserved mediaeval town wall in England, after York. The town wall, a Scheduled Ancient Monument, traces its origins to 1261 taking many years to complete and several repairs during its role of protecting the town from invasion. Today through the Great Yarmouth Preservation Trust and Norfolk Conservation Ltd it is undergoing some consolidation work at its most fragile areas. This current section was known as Slaughterhouse Road, an area which in the past housed several slaughterhouses built into the town wall. Now all having disappeared this area is once again an exposed piece of town wall needing protection from the extreme easterly winds which batters this piece of coastline. Our dispatchwork here (although sadly a temporary feature), highlights some of the severe deterioration the wall has suffered in area now used as a car park!
Great Yarmouth Preservation Trust is a not for profit registered charity working to preserve, save, enhance and promote the historic built environment of the town.
Norfolk Conservation Ltd. came into existence as a response to and concern with: the outstanding heritage of Great Yarmouth and its surrounding area, a general poor state of the built historic environment, a lack of traditional building skills and knowledge, and high unemployment rates. Centred on social values, we are concerned with conserving and promoting heritage, enabling all of its benefits to contribute toward a more sustainable past, present and future.

Thanks to Cole Blaq who took on Dispatchwork with a little twist: Cole works much with the bricks in his daily work as a Designer and Graffity artist. He wrote to me that in Düsseldorf there weren’t too many visible spots to repair, and that places are well taken care of, so he found this own way to join the project!
Please check out more of his works here: www.cole-blaq.com
Thanks to Cate for sharing this image I found on her instagram!
Students from the B.A. Course „Bildung und Erziehung in der Kindheit“ took the chance together with their Prof. Sonja Damen to create some kind of wonderful plastic patch alongside the historic staircase leading towards the entrance of their University in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Phoebe, Harvey, Elliott and Cooper installed their patches in the cracks and missing bricks on the former shoe factory in Reid Street, Fitzroy North.
Fitzroy North is an inner suburb of Melbourne and home to many artists. In 2014 themusic.com.au ranked it “#3 suburb in Australia for songwriters.”
This is the the first Dispatchwork in Melbourne, and in their email the team stated: “There will be more to come!” Looking forward, my friends!
Charlotte is originally from the UK and has worked around the world since 2010. She was in Riga in 2015.
Further she writes: “I work with kids and play with PCBs with them regularly as well as teaching concepts like the Egyptian Pyramids; it was exhilarating to bring their brightness onto the streets! Although the patches did get removed, there is something beautiful about the transitoriness of the project. It also helped me accept things like the destruction of the ancient city of Tenochtitlan to make way for the cathedrals of Mexico City: the significance is that it was once there.”
Please also visit her website and Soundcloud.
Thanks for the snowy patch Charlotte, and sorry for the delay 🙂

The cultural association ViVa ignited the spark for the event in Orvieto in Oktober! Orvieto is located in Umbria, “situated on the flat summit of a large butte of volcanic tuff. The site of the city is among the most dramatic in Europe, rising above the almost-vertical faces of tuff cliffs that are completed by defensive walls built of the same stone called Tufa,” says Wikipedia. From the Etrustcan, to the Roman until today: These walls carry a heavy history. Now they also carry the spirit of Dispatchwork.

I had already come across these images in ‘Innovation district’ on Nate’s Instagram and only a couple of months later on the National Public Radio NPR (USA) in a broadcast titled:Unraveled: The Mystery Of The Secret Street Artist In Boston!
It is interesting to follow the reporters discovery as she finds and interviews Nate ‘”it was sort of having fun with what most people would consider a problem”. Swain is a former landscape architect who quit his cubicle to try to make it as an artist’!

The first Dispatchwork in Asia, I received from Hibari and Genya (LEGOHAN). Shortly thereafter happened a terrible earthquake. I know that these repairs are no serious alternative to the troublesome reconstruction of the many broken homes, I still think that these pictures might help in reconstructing hope.

As part of the Stitch Community Art Project Erika set up these patches in Durham, North Carolina.
DC2013 sent me these pictures with the following statement:
“The Palace of the Parliament in Bucharest, Romania is a multi-purpose building containing both chambers of the Romanian Par- liament. According to the World Records Academy, the Palace is the world’s largest civilian building with an administrative function, most expensive administrative building, and heaviest building.The Palace was designed and nearly completed by the Ceaușescu regime, a brutal and repressive regime that collapsed after a series of violent events in 1989.”
In August 2013, few kids reconstructed a small pice in the surrounding wall and brought the Dispatchwork spirit in Romania. This was not just a symbolic step […] but also a remembering moment for the thousands of Romanians that risked their lives in 1989 in their fight against the communist regime, and a hopefully, a clear signal for the occupants of the building (Romanian politicians) to do their jobs to ensure the future of the Romanian young generations!”
Many thanks to Pedro, who set up an event on plaza de la paz, the peace plaza.
Catherine and Mathieu, two teachers in St-Francois Xavier de Brompton, a small town in Quebec, one day decided with their grade 5 students of Ecole de l’Arc-en-ciel (literally: Rainbow-School!) to go and fix up their schoolyard.
