keep us going is a european project and therefore documented in english.

it is an attempt to visualize the situation of the greek population; people are affected by  economic cuts, due to the rules of the 'troika' in exchange for finacial aid.

to show and experience the vulnerability and dependence of poor people, the artist rainer neumüller goes on a journey by bike, from his home town vienna to great britain and back. not using any money of his own, but being supported by people 'on the road'.

meanwhile, sponsors can donate money for every kilometer he travels.

the raised money is donated to ampariza, a greek organisation that runs various projects to aid poor people.

the progress of the journey, as well as a list of supporters and sponsors can be viewed on this website (see menu at the right).  there is also an introduction of ampariza's projects.

a more detailed description of the project and a sponsor contract, in english and german, are also available here.

the departure will be on thursday, 10th of july 2014, 9:00, and you are welcome to wave me goodbye!

meanwhile i'm back in vienna since the 22nd of august 2014, 13:50 - it was a great experience - read the diary!
