Urban Nation in Berlin URBAN NATION aims to bring together artists that shape and enrich urban spaces in neighbourhoods in every corner of the world and around the globe. It is a unique vision with the goal to support renowned and up-and-coming contemporary artists alike as well as cities and their inhabitants. By hosting workshops, events and exhibitions in a non-profit public space, it promotes community, participation and creative exchange.
Project, M/7, in collaboration with Brooklyn Street Art. It is the 7th in a series named after Berlin’s UN haus building, A portraiture show in essence, curators Jamie Rojo and Steven P. Harrington invited 12 Brooklyn based street artists to create a portrait of his or her particular “Person of Interest”: Dain, Gaia, Don Rimx, Swoon, Specter, Esteban Del Valle, Chris Stain, Nohcoley, Cake, El Sol 25, Icy & Sot, Onur Dinc, Kkade, Nevercrew, Dot Dot Dot, and Anreas Engludn. Dain - Portrait of Marlene Dietrich  Specter Portrait of Sally Montana _  Gaia Portrait of Fereshta Ludin  Swoon Portrait of Turkish Immigrants   Esteban Del Valle (Portrait of George Grosz)  Chris Stain.Portrait of Charle Bukowski  This makes the exhibition a sort of cultural exchange program that brings together the artists with local residents of Berlin, and encourages them to consider their surroundings. Their chosen subjects are a range of idols that either offer them inspiration, or represent issues that are important to them. Some of them are active supportors of the project, such as Gaia’s subject, Fereshta Ludin, a central female figure of Berlin’s Dada movement. In another mural, Swoon pays tribute to Turkish immigrants in Berlin, the largest Turkish settlement outside of Turkey. Brooklyn Street Art shares, “Artists actually like to do research and create art that is meaningful and relevant to their personal stories… and many street passersby and art audiences are elated to find work that they can relate to – that reflects their lives, history, and culture.” Take a look at more “Persons of Interest” on view through to June 22nd, 2015.

I believe there was already a new project coming up with Urban Nation Berlin. They sure do a lot of good things for Berlin. A large Stik would be nice too :-)

Great thread chaps and good pics. Lived in Berlin for about 7 months in a squat when I was much younger. Was in the old wall days fantastic City love going back now and again. Was always a very arty place as in those days you avoided national service in Germany if you lived in Berlin

Dface - Berlin Where's that? There seem to be a lot of new murals (e.g. Herakut as well) in Berlin organized by the Urban Nation project. Does anyone know where I can find a list of those walls with an address? |
