Скачать или смотреть Dinosaurs of Street Art - Kiddy Citny & Thierry Noir - Culture POP

The remaining pieces of the Berlin wall right outside Street Art Berlin’s gallery and event studio CULTURE POP STUDIO right on Potsdamer Platz in Berlin-Mitte is a constant reminder of a time when our capital was divided into two cities: East Berlin and West Berlin. Nowadays, it is rare to see old pieces of the wall in their original, cold and strict colour: Gray.

Most of the still standing parts are now colourfully painted. – That was not always like that: Decades ago, in the 1980s, when the wall was meandering through Berlin’s city scape like a grey, sad and heavy mooded monster snake, two young artists could not stand the transmitted heavy weight and tristesse of those concrete witnesses of division and exclusion. They decided – against all odds, fully aware that painting it was highly illegal – to paint that monster nevertheless and make it their outdoor atelier: Thus, Kiddy Citny and Thierry Noir became icons of Berlin’s street art scene.

Now, 30 years after the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989, they are famous not only in Berlin and Germany, but worldwide for their art and and courage behind it. An excellent occasion for Street Art Berlin to show a fulminant selection of artworks by these two „Dinosaurs of Street Art“.
