The New Albertinum - Everything is under control !

"chalk mob 1.0." - a fast sketch at the reopened Albertinum in Dresden

While i was invited to take part in the "discursive picknick" by artists group unwetter from berlin, i made a fast chalk drawing in the recently opened Albertinum. Albertinum is the contemporary art museum in Dresden.
After few seconds security arrived. I discussed a while and continued to paint till the security headquarter stopped my action.
Now I know - contemporary art at Albertinum is under control.

guided tour - yard check simple

Today i offer the following tour:
Yard Check Simple

"To undersatnd painting trains, it s absolutlely necessary to feel the atmosphere. toch check out pots in the evening is a important part of art on trains. lights at night give yards a romantic atmosphere. between screeming brakes of trains and noisy engines exist wonderfull moments of silence and seclusion. even yards are in central areas of cities, the areas around are domintaed by industry. industry that seems to sleep at night."
attendance fee: 5€, reduced 3€ Please sign up!

wer sich mal wundert, wieso er nicht ausreisen darf, weil gerade fussball em ist:
möglicherweise ist er zufällig in der " gewaltäter-datei" der polizei gelandet, weil er mal beim fussballspiel einen hooligan anzeigen wollte. und damit du weisst das du demnächst den netten jungs von nebenan beim abendlichen chillen in der Neustadt erzählen darfst/musst:

na danke und tschüss ... also lieber gleich rennen, egal was los ist. UND nicht umdrehen - da heisst es sonst " der täter wollte sich gewaltsam entfernen. Der täter zog waffe und drehte sich um. Der Täter wurde mit waffenanwendung im fluchtvorgang gestoppt. sterbedatum = aufzeichnungsdatum"

ps - alles schon passiert - letzteres einem ausländer in nürnberg, der keine waffe besaß. bußgeld für die verrückte polizistin - 5000€ . genausoviel wie für eine besprühte wand eines kumpels. nur dass die wand noch existiert. der abgeknallte typ nicht.

"about the nightshift" - 6 international young artists about painting on trains

my next upcoming and self managed show - about the nightshift

The exhibition "about the nightshift" gives unusal insights into the world of train painters . the invited artists reflected in diverse ways about the phenomena of painting trains. they have close contacts to the scene. contacts do not exist a lot , because train painters live two lifes - one official, one for train painting.
