Götzen-Dämmerung 2.0 – Twilight of the Idols 2.0

Abnormals Gallery presents Max Papeschi and his politically-incorrect artistic approach. His ironic comments on the American Way of Life reveal in a pseudo – realistic way all the horror such a lifestyle entails. Collages like the the Nazi – Micky Mouse or the Ronald McDonald – Butcher demonstrate how cult icons lose their reassuring effect and change into a collective nightmare.

Opening reception: April 17th, 20:00
Runs until May 20th

Tomorrow there are two exhibitions at Strychnin Gallery: Childhood Heroes with more than 40 participating artists and deerBLN project with over 80 participating artists! Special guests: The Boss Hoss.

Childhood Heroes – A Benefit Show for the Children’s Hospice Berliner Herz

In a singular effort, Berlin artist Sara Rosenbaum (Tatau Obscur, Berlin) and gallerist Yasha Young have joined forces in order to present internationally renowned artists from different fields in a benefit exhibition for the hospice BERLINER HERZ. Featuring artists from all over Europe and the USA, CHILDHOOD HEROES will donate a percentage of proceeds from sales to support terminally ill children and young adults, as well as their care-takers, through the children’s hospice BERLINER HERZ.

deerBLN in the Vault

Founded by Berlin artist Christian Rothenhagen in 2006, the deerBLNproject has a simple yet engaging concept: by personal invitation from Rothenhagen, artists are asked to submit an art work that adheres to only two rules. The first is that it has to relate to the topic “deer”. The second, it has to be a specific, set size (30×30 cm). Any medium – such as painting, drawing, collage, assemblage, photography et cetera – is possible.

With every new artist, another point of view is added to the ongoing project, and Rothenhagen, who is also known by his artist name deerBLN, likes to stress that art works do not necessarily have to feature deer – to him, it is more about the things an artist associates with the topic, and the variations that inevitably occur: it is about different perspectives.

The deerBLNproject is a constantly growing, travelling exhibition that has already been exhibited in Berlin (exhibition No.1), Vienna (No.2) and Cologne (No.3), featuring over 80 artists from 15 countries today. Exhibition No.4 brings it back to Berlin once more four years after its creation.

By the way — I am also part of the deerBLNproject. Here’s a video of my artwork “Hase vor Bergidyll”

After the successful exhibition at ATM GAllery, the INCUBUS PROJECT CORRSION exhibition arrives to REDSPECTIVE! A two month long presentation of these new works by one of Russia’s leading street-art teams.

“Very few are able to create such a strong association between the mood of the street and their art like Incubus Project. The streetart-duo from St. Petersburg is famous beyond Russia for their complex non-linear collage compositions that merge with their environment. This is not just stencils on the walls, but also the walls themselves, their face, communication, pipes, wires, transformer stations – they are all part of the arrangement… In 2008 Incubus Project were already an important part of the graffiti & streetart “Names Festival” in Prague, where they presented their work next to other international leaders of the scene like Blu, M-City and Brad Downey. Considering the formation of the group was only in 2006, their participation was quite impressive.”

Exhibition runs from March 5th to April 30th
