Power in Public Space is a lecture series hosts by the master program ” Space Strategies” from the Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weissensee at DAZ, Berlin.
“History of humankind can be described as the history of inclusion, exclusions, centralization, marginality, legibility and difference; in general human history is the history of conflict in different spaces. Generally art has been the most truthful witness of history, and how actual situation can be reflected from different points of views is what these lecture is all about.”
I want to recommend you to see it on the 9th November when there is a lecture from on urban artist Brad Downey. He uses film, sculpture, painting and drawing to reflect on concepts about the Establishment versus the audience. Never sure if his art is vandalism or can be called art.
There are also other lectures from Aram Bartholl, Julius von Bismarck and Le van Bo. To see when and where, click power in public space.
Actually I didn’t know the other artist and now after the short research I correct myself and recommend you every lecture, unlucky first one was already yesterday… but then Wednesday next week, the week after and the week after next next week you can go there.
Haroshi makes his art pieces recycling old used skateboards. His creations are born through styles such as wooden mosaic, dots, and pixels; where each element, either cut out in different shapes or kept in their original form, are connected in different styles, and shaven into the form of the final art piece. Haroshi became infatuated with skateboarding in his early teens, and is still a passionate skater at present.
