The HomeBase Project has been invited to participate in the noted VOLTA NY art show opening in March 8th as one of the only not-for-profit art initiatives. HomeBase has presented at VOLTA since 2009 and has been acknowledged through this venue as a “new model for public art.”
This year we will present the U.S. launch of Ignatz Bier and our plans for future projects.
Come visit us at the show! Booth number to be determined.
About Ignatz Bier
Ignatz Bier is a boutique artisan craft pilsner, brewed by HomeBase artists, beer lovers, neighbors and social entrepreneurs at the old Engelhardt Brewery located at Thulestrasse 54, Berlin, now home to HomeBase LAB, as a community based project.
Ignatz Bier was created as a tribute bier to the original landlord and director of Engelhardt brewery, Jewish-German business man and philonthropist Ignatz Nacher, as a unique artistic, cultural and social product, carrying our message of interconnectedness in society in a bottle.
The Beer is brewed on site as part of a live, interactive artistic event in a limited edition of 99 bottles – all signed. The Ignatz Bier labels are created as a scroll telling the story of the building, past, present and future.
Last year HomeBase was invited to present the Ignatz Bier project at the prestigious VOLTA 7 art show in Basel, showcasing the first batch of 99 boutique Ignatz Bier bottles. Now Ignatz Bier is arriving to VOLTA NY for its U.S. launch.
