Last Saturday 13 Writers, who already had a monthly exhibition at Yard5 throughout the last year, diplayed their work at Nest for one night only. A great occasion to meet and chat. Thanks to the organisers for the Palinka and the lovely evening!
I love seeting the output of the city´s graffiti artists every weekend. Especially during the summer, one can visit the halls to see new pieces there even 3-4 times a week. It makes me very sad though to visit Berlins best known hall of fame nowadays. This year Berlin is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the fallen Berlin Wall, and the city decided to once again committ an asthetic crime! Over decades the side facing former West-Berlin has been a constant canvas for graffiti artist. Now it is being "restored"...
Since the East Side Gallery looks like this now,
here´s a chance to get a glimse at what historical meaning the Berlin Wall has for my generation and why these white walls are so outrageous...
