From much celebrated pieces in prominent places to those hidden in anonymous, decayed ruins, it features the large-scale murals and small interventions of some of the most exciting international artists associated with this movement. Muralist and art activist Jens Besser uncovers these treasures and offers special insights into the emerging scene that is coloring our urban experience.
Featured Artists: Roa, Remed, Klub 7, Aec & Waone (Interesni Kazki), Blu, Os Gemeos, Escif, Jens Besser, BerlinBeamBoys, Sonice Development, 3ttman, Kain Logos and many more.

Plastikseele

Leidenschaftliche Liebe fürs Kino, fürs Theater, fürs Herz. Das macht Samir Akika aus. Als einer der eigenwilligsten Choreografen in NRW eilt ihm der Ruf des (censored) voraus. Das Bedürfnis nach Inszenierung und großen Gefühlen nimmt er so leicht wie ernst; seine Choreografien sind unterhaltsam und sinnlich, wunderbar versponnen, tragikomisch. In seinem neuen Projekt mit dem Goethe-Institut in Caracas rückt er Venezuela in den Mittelpunkt. Venezuela ist Plastikland. Alles, was der Mensch benötigt, ist unvorstellbar gedankenlos in Plastik eingehüllt und verpackt. Plastiktüten, Plastikflaschen, Einwegbehälter aus Plastik bestimmen das Leben. Und Plastik in Form von Silikon lässt das Ideal vom perfekt modulierten Menschen wahr werden. Plastik ist sowohl der Stoff als auch die Metapher für eine Gesellschaft des Wegwerfens ebenso wie des künstlichen Junghaltens. Die neun Tänzer und Tänzerinnen aus Venezuela und Deutschland demonstrieren den Wunsch nach Perfektion und Identifikation mit Plastik in seiner Absurdität und Gewaltsamkeit, unterstützt durch Texte, Musik und Videobilder. Die Bühne wird zu einer Kunst-Installation, in der Musiker und Tänzer die Echtheit jenseits des Künstlichen entwickeln.

I Should Be So Lucky

Création chorégraphique de la compagnie Unusual Symptoms

Vendredi 12 novembre, 19h
Friday 12 November, 7pm
Théâtre Chenla
bv. Mao Tsé Toung X av. Monireth

"I Should Be So Lucky" is a performance
gathering several artists from Cambodia,
France & Germany.
Finding yourself in Phnom Penh, the colourful,
contradictory, changing capital city of the
Kingdom of Cambodia, you might want to rent
a motorcycle, go out to a bar or a restaurant,
buy some household supply or a pair of jeans.
In these cases it's quite likely to end up at
"Lucky Moto", "Lucky Bar", "Lucky Store" or
"Lucky Boutique". No matter if you're a son or
a daughter of this city or a foreigner enjoying
a holiday in Cambodia, it seems that you
should BE SO LUCKY.
Unusual Symptoms did not bring a fixed script
along for the piece. An associative dialog is the
heart of this project. In Cambodia, the strong
grip of tradition clashes with the unavoidable
influences of global culture. Challenges evolve
in daily life, as well as in theater, in dance or
in visual arts. Various cultural pre-sets constitute
different conventional surfaces.
It's those surfaces we try to face, deal with,
maybe question or even challenge, but most
of all - dance upon.

МИГ ЛИЦЕДЕЙСТВА – A Moment to Pretend

In Zusammenarbeit mit dem Goethe-Institut Taschkent zeigt das Jugendtheater Usbekistans junges dynamisches Tanztheater. 3½ Wochen arbeiteten 27 junge Schauspieler des Jugendtheaters mit „Unusual Symptoms“, dem freien Kollektiv um den in Deutschland lebenden Choreographen und Regisseur Samir Akika, intensiv zusammen. Gemeinsam entwickelten sie „МИГ ЛИЦЕДЕЙСТВА – A Moment to Pretend“, eine Performance aus Tanzelementen, Theater und visueller Installation. Ihre Inspirationen bezieht die Gruppe unmittelbar aus den Geschichten, Träumen und Herausforderungen, die ihr eigenes Dasein bestimmen: Was bedeutet es für uns hier und jetzt, das Leben als Schauspieler? „МИГ ЛИЦЕДЕЙСТВА – A Moment to Pretend“ zündet ein Feuerwerk unvergesslicher Momente, berührend bis schockierend, zwischen Gerichtssaal, Tanzfläche und – natürlich – Theaterbühne. Im Anschluss übernimmt das Jugendtheater das Stück in sein Repertoire.

B32 presents:

Our Time – part 1
Mathias Wermke & Mischa Leinkauf, Petra Feriancova,
Mauro Cerqueira, Robert Kaltenhäuser, Kamen Stoyanov
& Andrew Sroka
Video screening project

Time turned out to be a central issue of a ten-day-long gathering, unravelling an underlying issue and surprising perspective of contemporary art. 15 young curators from different parts of Europe high lighten this theme in Our Time, a group show of video works.
B32 presents the whole project consisting out of 15 films in three parts. Our Time was initiated by Joao Mourao on the occasion of the Cecac workshop week 2008 conducted by Charles Esche, Nedko Solakov and Fondazione Ratti Milano. A publication under the same title completed the course. Our Time – Part 1 features five films that recount stories of individuals being somehow positioned in the margins of their personal condition or of society. By taking up their station at a non-location in a non-time, they act not only as protagonists of the films, but also in relation to art discourse.
To whom It May Concern (2006) by Petra Feriancová is proposed by Lucia Gavulová (Slovakia). Aside from some sort of reconfiguration of the existent, she collects shots where the story is dominant. Marika Zamojska (Poland) asked Mathias Wermke & Mischa Leinkauf to participate with Regionalverkehrt (2007), a speedy one minute film that plays out the word game of its title meaning ‘being in the wrong place at the wrong time’.
Roma Open Air Museum (2006) by Kamen Stoyanov is contributed by Vladiya Mihaylova (Bulgaria), filming the artist Fausto Delle Chiaie in his self-declared museum on a square. The work hints towards the preoccupation with the marginal by artists and the effect they undergo once captured by a camera. Teresa Iannotta (Italy) presents Lath and Plaster (2007/2008) of Andrew Sroka, a piece that focuses on the slow and methodical deconstruction of a wall and its connotations as an architectural element. A wall together with a spray can is also an issue in Mauro Cerqueira’s work A Luta (the fight) (2009), curated by Joao Mourao. Lene ter Haar (Netherlands) participated with the ‘Over’-loop of Art Inconsequence / Advanced Vandalism (2008) by Robert Kaltenhäuser in combination with photographs of David Radon and Sabrina Karakatsanis which forms the link to the coinciding show on display.

Witnesses - 15 seconds of being a vandal
David Radon / Sabrina Karakatsanis
Contemporary photography, vandal engineering & graffiti

A piece of graffiti that deeply impressed us was written on a Milano subway train: Art is just a four letter word hits. Even more, because this statement unravels not simply an ironic slogan tattooed on a train, but also an attitude towards life in general
that may go to the length of writing it on the very own body. It’s more about a conviction and maybe also, connected to the professional art world, as a confession. We write it, we live it, we are it – we may really mean it. So it’s all about choosing a standpoint, an identity, and this is exactly what is at stake in the pieces presented here. They are much more interwoven with each other than you would suspect on the first view, and the difference of scratching something into your skin and just telling
it seems to become neglectable.
With this exhibition artist Robert Kaltenhäuser returns as curator to B32 in order to present DAVID RADON (1975, Germany) and Sabrina Karakatsanis (1980, Germany) with photography, vandal engineering and graffiti. Witnesses - 15 seconds of being a vandal invites you to witness autonomous and documentary photography centred around a shared subject matter. Different approaches of the narrative arise questions about the artists attitude as well as modes of representation. Herewith the perspective is continuously shifting, confronting the witnesses with questions that start with spontaneous decision-making but may stretch toward the existential.
Discover the naïvest possible way of proving your existance. You want to become a vandal? Push the button.

d'RAW - International Drawing Showcase

The international exhibition d'RAW as well as the publication aim to contribute to what inside-the-scene folks, the broader public as well as professional art people think about graffiti writing in relation to contemporary art without being booby trapped in a one-sided street versus museum discussion. In contrast, the exhibition approaches this topic from the commonly shared base of drawings. We want to propose an open minded view towards graffiti writing and street art by presenting historical, ground breaking, simply astonishing or otherwise interesting paper-pencil material as an evidence – not for prosecution, but for quality.

Vertrautes Terrain, ZKM Karlsruhe

Kindly invited by Heiner Blum, Vektor Gruppe West showed off at ZKM Karlsruhe. Defacing a wallpaper and 3 loops from Art Inconsequence:

Graffiti als abstrakte Operation
Vektor Gruppe West schafft illegal abstrakte Großgemälde mit Graffitimethoden, vornehmlich als Eingriffe in das äußere Erscheinungsbild von Fahrzeugen des öffentlichen Nahverkehrs. Einzige Veröffentlichung dieser extrem flüchtigen Werke bisher ist ein Beitrag im Buch/Film art inconsequence unter dem Pseudonym einer Einzelpersonder in der illegalen Szene kontrovers diskutiert wird. Bernhard Uske schreibt: "Die Ausverleibungstendenz der 'Institution Graffiti' vermag die Ikonen des Reduktionismus, des Serialismus, des Konstruktivismus, des abstrakten Expressionismus an die frische Luft zu bringen und mitten ins Leben zu sprengen. Das Graffiti hat vom einnehmenden Wesen der Institution Kunst gelernt und teilt die gehegten Bestände zum Nutzen der Kunst großzügig unter freiem Himmel aus."

DamageColourMedley
A graffiti-related artshow/party at B32 ARTSPICE, Maastricht.

Opened friday, 5. september 2008, 20.00h
Artists:
Unart303 (Düsseldorf / Germany)
Beach Boys (Cologne / Germany)
SocietyHatingCreations (Utrecht/Netherlands)
Collin van der Sluijs (Maastricht/Netherlands)

If you speak some dutch, read what my fellow* curator Lene ter Haar stated:
*(actually i was hers)

Een toevallige maar serieus te nemen alliantie smeden artiesten uit Düsseldorf, Keulen, Utrecht en Maaastricht in de expositieruimte B32: het reageerbuis-kindje unart303, de burgerzonen Beach Boys, de chronisch subversieve S.H.C. en de lokaalheld Collin van der Sluijs. Hun eerste gezamenlijke project houdt het midden tussen in-house kunst en buitenhuis spel, kleur en schade, pret en vermaak.
Bij de Damage Colour Medley treffen artistieke visies op elkaar die vanuit eenzelfde inspiratie zijn gevoed, maar verschillende paden inslaan. Deze aaneenschakeling van visuele fragmenten versmelt populaire stijlen, eigenwijze posities en ongewone onderlinge collaboraties, waarbij de makers zich niet tot een bestaan als situationische erfgemanen beperken. Forever Asphaltkultur.

And enjoy some quotes from the artists themselves:

“Jouw veiligheidsmaatregelen voorzien ons van de tafel waarop wij dansen.
Probeer niet deze trein te stoppen – het is nutteloos. Wij zitten al in de bosjes te wachten.
Uitgenodigd om vermomd binnen te dringen, zijn wij zo aardig om deze witte kubus te ontsieren.
Terwijl de discoball draait boven de prikkeldraad,
Come and celebrate with us this dissidence on display -
Forever Asphaltkultur.” (Unart303)

“Red, yellow, green, black, white … chill, run, wait, hide … lights, darkness in the night, rising sun in the morning .. agree to a pact!” (Beach Boys)

“Een visuele reactie op onze hedendaagse consumptiemaatschappij.” (Collin van der Sluis)

“…” (Society Hating Creations)

Beyond-STREET ART
Graffiti-Expo, Düsseldorf 5. - 12. May 2007

On the hype-peak of the so-called 'street art', we invited a handful of the planet's most interesting graffiti artists to our small town. The name was meant to communicate that the interest of their work is far beyond the usual boredom that goes under the label 'street art'. Unfortunately nobody seemed to really notice, since there was a lot of reactions like: "Wow, a cool street art expo in Düsseldorf!" Anyway, they could have read the curatorial statement.
The expo was initiated by the team of Galerie Revolver and took place in their gallery plus some friends places around the block, like Plan D or Misprint.
Christian Heidemann of Revolver took care of this nice official homepage. For a brief introduction to the participating artists check this link, or click the names:

-Nina

-Os Gemeos

-Richard Schwarz

-Cyop & Kaf

-Nug

-HNT

-Harald Nägeli
.

We were all very proud of the nice catalogue, which had the special feature of showing both the free/illegal work of the artists, and the work done in our exhibition. This was made possible by leaving half of the pages white, with frames like sticker albums, and have stickers with photos of the exhibition-artworks sent to those who bought a catalogue two weeks later. Fun like childrens collecting of soccer-fan sticker album collections.

Maybe Christian still has some in stock: info@beyond-streetart.de

Art Inconsequence - Advanced Vandalism
Robert Kaltenhäuser und Sarah Pflüger, Publikat 2007

Softcover, 144 Seiten, Texte: Deutsch/English 21cm x 20,5cm
DVD-Video 60 min, ISBN:978-3-9395-66-04-5

Video-documentary and six essays on contemporary graffiti. This footage takes us to scenes where beauty and absurdity merge, beyond the laws of our society as well as those of our expectations. Exclusive, unseen material from a widely unknown avantgarde, never getting tired of jumping the fences toward the playgrounds of relevance. We become witnesses of who certain thought-crimes of some acting individuals manifest into shapes and colours, become signs and wonders.

Art Inconsequence Book incl. DVD-Movie available here.

_

The book contains essays by five guest-authors for which i'm very grateful since they wrote/allowed me to use them for free. Here they are, in order of appearance:

Hans Winkler, artist (p.t.t.red) and curator, and Carlo McCormick, cultural critic (Paper Magazine), are featured with a remix of their contributions to the exhibition catalogue 'Legal/Illegal - Crossing the Boundaries between Art and Criminality' by NGBK Berlin (ISBN 3-89657-468-x) under the very same title.

Peter Michalski, art historian and publisher (Graffiti Magazine), shares his thoughts and insight on the artistic practice and potential of throw-up-graffiti. His essay is titled 'Throwing-up - In der urbanen Arena'.

Bernhard Uske, professor of aesthetics and transmission of culture at the Bergische Universität of Wuppertal, discusses in 'Die Einverleibung fällt aus - Graffiti as an Institution' the interesting and sometimes paradox relationship between graffiti-artistic practice and established art iinstitutions. He provides a very original twist in his conclusion that fits the artists featured in Art Inconsequence perfectly by the way.

Pia Pada, a lovely and intelligent, while mysterious and man-eating art historian from Bochum, takes the reader on a very personal trip trough modes of perception and interpretation of content concerning certain artists and their graffiti-works on passenger trains. Her essay 'Ein Bild auf einem Zug - Visions in Motion' explores the somewhat poetic side of this illegal art-form.

At the beginning and at the end of the book you can also read two essays by me: 'Vorwärts immer - Advanced Vandalism' about the general idea of the project and 'Videotext - Signs and Wonders' about the video-documentary that comes with it.

For the video-soundtrack music was made or given by:
-Breger
-Early Autumn Break
-Andre Uhl
-Jonathan Wulfes
-Lars Leonhard
-Pristine
(And one we had to pay for, but still...)
The voice-over speaker (german-language, subtitles in english) for the artist's interviews is Cornelius Kabus of Theaterfabrik, Düsseldorf.
