“For years now, I document street art in Berlin and other European metropolises like Paris, London, Barcelona and Madrid. What I learned is, when you are deep in that multicultural and highly creative public art scene, you want to get in touch with its protagonists, with the people behind those sometimes funny or political street artworks. You want to know faces, want to see how they work, want to feel the adrenalin...” ( Brenna 2010 )
West Berlin Gallery is pleased to present Urban Artists in Action - Another View on Street Art & Graffiti, the photography of Jan Brennenstuhl, the brain behind the blogs www.urbanartcore.eu and www.urbanart-photography.eu. For the first time, the gallery will show not the result but the fascinating process of urban art, the secret of which so many artists are at pains to conceal.
Join us at West Berlin Gallery with the artist for the opening on thursday June 23rd, 18:00.
The show will feature a selection of 49 photographic works from Brenna’s large portfolio focusing on the brilliant people behind street art and graffiti works that we all know and love but have always wondered….who and how? Some of the artists documented include Buff Diss, Titi Freak, Czarnobyl, Dan Kitchener, Ben Eine, Emess, FinDAC, Herakut, Augustine Kofie, Mode2, Nychos, Run Don't Walk (RDW), Remi/Rough and Morten Andersen.
