We have named this initiative: "FREAKLAND project" This land will be where future ART-KÖR. suspensions and other body mod related projects will be held. A landing ground for all the freaks on the planet looking for a place to perform, as well as for people able to contribute to the logistic, moral and even financial support. For them, it will be equally be a resting ground, a place of meeting and idea exchange.
