Street Art Icon Daleast Paints Façade of Bülowstrasse 7 PRESS INFORMATION Page 1/3 Golden Eagle: Street Art Icon DALeast Paints Façade of Bülowstrasse 7 Der goldene Adlerkopf, gesprüht von DALeast, auf der Fassade der Bülowstr. 7. Photo: Henrik Haven Berlin, 29 October 2014: anyone who passes Nollendorfplatz on the subway or takes a stroll down Bülowstrasse in Schöneberg cannot miss the astonishing paint job on the commercial and residential property at number 7. Since just a few days ago, the entire façade has been covered in hundreds of golden lines. They criss-cross – and appear to the observer like a giant, three-dimensional and very much living Eagle-Head. The artwork was created by none less than the street art icon DALeast. The Chinese artist’s murals have been fascinating passers-by all over the world for several years now. DALeast came up with a particularly spectacular idea for Bülowstrasse: this time, he worked in yellow and white on black. A première. The art action is part of the “Project/M” series by the Gewobag initiative Urban Nation. Four times a year, Urban Nation invites a group of young, internationally renowned street artists to redesign surfaces in Bülowstrasse. “Project/M is about bringing artists together and letting them jointly develop lively and colourful artworks”, explains Yasha Young, director of the Urban Nation initiative and of Gewobag’s art and culture management. The shop windows on the ground floor of Bülowstrasse 7 also got a face lift. Last Saturday, the Americans Jeff Soto and Dan Witz, Switzerland’s NYCHOS, the Polish-born OLEK and the Mexican SANER each transformed one of the windows into an individual work of art, with the result that by the end of the evening, a spectacular outdoor gallery had been created. The work of Polish-born Agata Oleksiak alias OLEK is especially eye-catching: instead of using a spray can, she takes a crochet needle and, stitch for stitch, creates a car, a bull or a locomotive. On her UN-work you can read in large white letters: "Keep calm". OLEK’s work and that of her fellow artists will be on show at Bülowstrasse 7 until February 2015, after which they will be replaced.

Street art is ephemeral, like everything else in life”, says Yasha Young. Accompanying pop up exhibition offers unique insight into street art scene The art action is being accompanied by a pop up exhibition entitled "Greetings from New York City". The show’s name is a nod to its creator: the famous New York gallery owner Jonathan LeVine. “It’s fantastic to have been able to get Jonathan on board for our project. Here, he has brought together the works of some of the world’s most renowned urban artists, offering the people of Berlin a unique insight into the street art scene”, explained Young on Saturday, 25 October, on the fringes of the vernissage. Until the end of November, the works of twelve international artists will be on show and on sale at the Urban Nation Office in Bülowstrasse 97 – including art by Aj Fosik, DALeast, Dan Witz, Evol and Faile. The P/M Series – Art for the People of Berlin Since late 2013, the initiative Urban Nation has been regularly inviting well-known international or local urban artists to Berlin. Many of the works realised so far are in Bülowstrasse in Schöneberg. This street was consciously chosen for the project. The district is lively but also hampered by a number of negative factors. Thanks to "Project M/", Bülowstrasse, much of which is marred by crime, litter and pollution, is attracting greater public attention and getting an opportunity to release its potential as a neighbourhood. “In the meantime, northern Schöneberg has become a hot spot of the street art scene”, says Young. Renowned street artists such as Ben Eine, Nick Walker or Martha Cooper have already played their part in turning a dull-looking street into a colourful gallery. – – – About Urban Nation Urban Nation sees itself as a platform for artists, projects and the local community. At the centre of Urban Nation is the art form street art. Yasha Young manages and directs Urban Nation and her creative vision for liveable urban spaces is the driving force behind the projects and their growth and development. As an internationally renowned curator and art expert, Young is well integrated and deeply involved in the international contemporary art scene. Urban Nation is backed by the municipal housing society Gewobag, which also owns the building at Bülowstrasse 7. Gewobag launched the project in 2013 and provides it with long-term funding. With more than 100,000 tenants, Gewobag has very close ties to Berlin. Promoting art and culture is one of the mainstays of the company’s philosophy.

  • The Lady of Edgecliff
    The Lady of Edgecliff Annie Peachman Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, University of Technology Sydney Street art is a developing postmodern phenomenon with the profound capacity to challenge the cultural assumptions underpinning modernity and a modernist approach to art. Taking Bruno Dutot’s work, ‘The Lady of Edgecliff’, or ‘Oucha’ as a starting point, one can explore the cultural importance of street art, as it elucidates the contradictions inherent to contemporary society – which exists as a hybrid of both modernity and postmodernity. Postmodernism informs the way in which street art contests the prevalence of empiricism within modernity, which values technique over symbolic meaning and aesthetics. Street art simultaneously challenges the modernist notion of progress towards utopian ideals, often focusing more on dystopia and revisiting the past through the use of intertextuality, viewing the world as a simulacrum rather than as an absolute truth. In its total public accessibility, street art also challenges the notion of art as a commodity, as well as the modernist association of art with institutionalism, which positions the artist as a tradesperson, and the art world as a business. Yet with increasing numbers of acclaimed street artists shifting to exhibiting in galleries and accepting commissions for their work, the distinctions between postmodern and modern art are blurred. As such, street art reveals the enduring vestiges of modernity in contemporary culture, and thus questions how such ideas remain in conjunction with the ideas of postmodernism– suggesting that contemporary society is not unconditionally postmodern but instead exists as a hybridised culture, with interrelated and interdependent elements of both postmodernity and modernity central to our contemporary milieu.

  • With, on and Against Street Signs on Art Made out of Street Signs
    SAUC - Journal V4 - N1 Changing times: Tactics With, On and Against Street Signs On Art Made out of Street Signs Mª Isabel Carrasco Castro Marist College Madrid Program C/ Madrid, s/n Ofce: 9.0.40 Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Getafe, Spain [email protected] Abstract In The Practice of Everyday Life (1980), Michel de Certeau suggests the idea of a city in which there are, on one side, strategies of information, surveillance, control and infrastructure design laid out by the system and, on the other one, tactics defning the how-to-do of the users with regards to that system, that is, the operations by which they adapt them to align their own interests and needs. The texts allows us to examine the interventions of urban artists as a tactic characterized, as defned by De Certeau, as the harnessing of the system's resources (making do). This is more specifcally translated into adaptability, development on a space they do not own, identifcation and utilization of the occasion (time) and the inventiveness of diverting time and resources (shortcut and la perruque). In this work, we will take trafc signs of restriction and prohibition as one of the urban components that highlight the normativization of public spaces through the direct message of "NO" (not doing). Many artists have, in previous years, developed an interest in the artistic and symbolic possibilities of these signs and have developed works (tactics) as their response to them. Dan Witz (Chicago, 1957), Clet (Bretagne, 1966), Brad Dowey (Louisville, 1980) or DosJotas (Madrid, 1982) are good examples of this.

    HA HA ROAD 12 August – 23 October 2011 QUAD Gallery Guide Gallery Guide produced for the exhbition: HA HA ROAD at QUAD Gallery, Derby, England from 12 August – 23 October, 2011. Exhibition co-produced with Oriel Mostyn Gallery, Llandudno, Wales. Mostyn dates: 3 December – 8 January, 2011. Text copyright Dave Ball + Sophie Springer, 2011. All images copyright the respective artists/galleries. IMAGE FRONT COVER: Ha-Ha Road, Woolwich, London Courtesty of Nick Constantine, 2009 H A H A R O A D 12 August to 23 October 2011 Exploring the use of humour in contemporary art, Ha Ha Road presents the work of 25 international artists who play with a "rupture of sense". Taking its title from the name of a street, the exhibition plays on its double meaning. Apart from its connection with laughter, a "ha-ha" also refers to a type of sunken boundary: a wall or fence set into a trench, forming a hidden division in a landscape whilst preserving the scenic view. This invisible frontier serves as a neat metaphor for our relationship to the world of laughter. Strangely indistinguishable from the familiar terrain of normality, a joke transports us to a place where sense breaks down, where the familiar is turned on its head, where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and where the world means differently. Nothing has changed and yet everything has changed. This is the paradoxical condition of humour, and the source of its disruptive power. The show explores what it means to step over this barrier and to set foot into the inexplicable and illogical world of humour.

  • The Return of Beauty
    NICK MOUNT The Return of Beauty You find one on Madison Street, near Pike, beyond the shadow of the Manhattan Bridge. It hovers on the wall of a makeshift parking lot, over exhaust, rust, old tags. It shouldn’t be here, but there it is – a hummingbird. Life- size and lifelike, put in flight by the old painter’s tricks of shadow and light. You could have thought it real but for its colours, which come from art, not nature – from the graffiti behind it, its backdrop and its ancestor. Its creator says he wants the bird to give pause, and that’s just what it does. Give pause. Because here, in an ugly corner of an ugly city, within choking distance of the wreckage of an ugly act, you have found the opposite of ugly. Here, beauty is back. T EMEK, Marcel Duchamp bought a urinal from a New York iron works, Isigned it “R. Mutt,” and entered it in the exhibition of New York’s Society of Independent Artists. And so, the story goes, a toilet conquered the world. In FDD H, a poll of IDD artists, curators, critics, and art dealers named Duchamp’s Fountai n the most in fluential art object of the twentieth century.

  • SØREN SOLKÆR: SURFACE BOOK and EXHIBITION PROJECT All The
    SØREN SOLKÆR: SURFACE BOOK AND EXHIBITION PROJECT All the portraits in SURFACE show artists who work in the public space. It is a book and exhibition project that was started in August 2012. The artists are photographed in cities across the world with their own art work , in a subjective and staged manner using artificial light and often props and masks. The resulting portrait aims to investigate the relation between the artist and his work and its space in the urban environment. The aim is to portray the most significant figures in public and street art both on the contemporary scene as well as the pioneering figures. The book will be published in February 2015, followed by numerous exhibitions worldwide. So far, I have photographed more than 110 artists , in locations stretching the globe – including Copenhagen, Stavanger, London, Miami, Newcastle, Paris, Berlin, New York, Los Angeles, Berlin, Sydney and Melbourne. SURFACE is an interpretation of the genre as well as the personalities behind the art itself. It is my ambition to present a snapshot of the scene in its current days of transition, whilst also shedding light on the pioneering figures who paved the way. SURFACE isn’t meant as documentation of street art but as is common in my approach, I photograph the artists in a visual interplay with their work, which consequently facilitate evidence of the art works themselves. SURFACE – THE BOOK The book will be a 248 page hardcover coffee table book measuring 24x32 cm, featuring around 140 artists. It will be published by Gingko Press in February 2015 and distributed worldwide.

  • Dan Witz Press Release
    Dan Witz Dark Doings November 5 – December 3, 2009 Opening Reception: Thursday, November 5th, 2009 "It was Dan Witz who, back in 2003, first showed us how powerful street art could be. Each summer Dan's projects take street art to new levels by adding elements of "surprise and delight" into the city landscape. For us, Dan Witz is the consummate street artist. He's provocative. He's dedicated. And most of all – He has absolutely wicked skills." – Marc and Sara Schiller Wooster Collective Carmichael Gallery is proud to present Dark Doings, a solo exhibition of new works by Dan Witz. This is the Brooklyn based artist’s first US west coast solo exhibition. In Dark Doings, Witz will showcase a selection of pieces from his expansive summer street project of the same name. Created both for the street and gallery, the subtle, haunting images of human and animal faces trapped behind dirty glass windows are inspired by a recent visit earlier in the year to the red light district of Amsterdam. In speaking about the philosophy behind this body of work, Dan explains, “I’m trying to exploit our collective tendency towards sleepwalking by inserting outrageous things right out there in plain view that are also practically invisible. My goal is to make obvious in your face art that ninety‐nine percent of the people who walk by won’t notice. Eventually when they stumble upon one or find out about it I’m hoping they’ll start wondering what else they’ve been missing.” Artwork at the show will comprise of mixed media on digital prints on plastic, presented either framed or mounted to wood doors, the latter serving as both canvas and contextual framework through which the work can be viewed.
