OUR COURTYARD

on christoph´s birthday a friend presents him this sculpture. but it was at that time blank.

and now, we have a green courtyard - nearly the old
sunbathing area on our pool.

so we remember sometimes with pathetic to past times.

but anyway, its green green grass.....

PLATOON presents Trolleybooks

following the wave of new recruits we had after the opening day, we are really glad to invite you to another recruitment.session here at PLATOON.


for the occasion we´ll have a slideshow evening organized and presented by Gigi Giannuzzi, publisher and director of Trolleybooks, an independent publishing house specialized in social documentary and photo-journalism, who will present some of his latest publications here at PLATOON.


Trolleybooks has been often described as guerrilla style reportage bordering with contemporary art. a description really fitting PLATOON´s tradition of culturally involved events.


it´ll be a special evening presenting the latest Trolley slideshows of new and forthcoming books, featuring:


‘A Million Shillings - Escape from Somalia’ by Alixandra Fazzina

and ‘Delta Nigeria - the Rape of Paradise’ by George Osodi.


with a book signing and exhibition of photographs from 'Shelter' by Lucky Michaels.



here some more info about Trolleybooks





Wednesday 30th July 2008
start around 7:30 - 9pm
(slideshows start as soon as it gets dark!)
admission free -
please send us a confirmation email to be on the guestlist! - marcello@platoon.org

THE RECRUITMENT OFFICE IS OPEN

last saturday it happened. we finally
started our recruitment office.
all you creative people can now recruit
in the PLATOON office, get into special task force and be member of PLATOON´s international creative
network. members can now also get a selection of clothes from the PLATOON.uniform collection.







































our recruiting officer marcello had some interested people wanting to recruit.





















sadly the weather for the party was
not the best...at times we showered under the summer rain.... it was not really inviting, but anyway we had a fantastic show and lots of fun.

PLATOON.recruitment office - opening event

a big hello to all of you out there, once again there is a reason to party!

for too long we didnt let you know much about us....but now the time has come.

as one or the other have already noticed, we are now based in the alten schönhauserstrasse 3 and we enhanced PLATOON with 2 more containers

and this is new: our Recruitment Office

we are often asked what we exactly do, where our interests lay and how our jobs look like. what is this PLATOON.network - comprised of people from the most diverse creative backgrounds - all about? and why are we so often in Korea?

on saturday, july 19th you’ll have the chance to learn much more about PLATOON, about our international projects, what this Recruitment Office actually is, what we are up to in Berlin and what it is that really engages us.

many of you are already members of the PLATOON.association (e.V) and know us from the past. now you´ve got the possibility to actively participate to our network and to collaborate with us on the development of an even wider international network.

please dont forget to bring your PLATOON.dogTags, they will be regarded as entry tokens for the day´s event and will help us, when needed, to make some quick updates. but we wont reveal more then that now.;-)

expect delicious drinks, prepared by the jette-bar-crew, daniel at the grill and a line up of interesting live-acts and dj´s.

the event starts at 12am, with open-end as usual...and if you could send us a little guestlist-mail it would be great for our scheduling.

the whole PLATOON.crew welcomes you... till then...
stay straight....

so long P.

KUNSTHALLE.seoul PLATOON.berlin skype party
