To kick off Gallery Weekend, the Romanian artist KITRA shows the systematic chaos in his first solo exhibition in Berlin. Denis Leo Hegic, the guy who named “Wandelism”, a recent exhibition which has moved Berlin, presents together with the British art expert Michelle Houston the next treat for the Berlin art scene: “Bonjour Tristesse” - an exhibition like a candy shop.
Walk-in-Artwork: Wall Hanging was Yesterday
For the duration of the show at the Gallery Baull, just off Schlesisches Tor, visitors are invited to enter the walk-in-exhibition, where the entire space will be painted and turned into an overall work of art. Kitra’s new series of canvases will be integrated into the space: some of the works loud and visible, others hidden like chameleons.
Disturbing the System: Bonjour Tristesse
The starting point of the exhibition is the iconic “Bonjour Tristesse” Graffiti, crowning the corner building on Schlesische Straße in Berlin Kreuzberg for the past 37 years. This tiny disturbance of the brutalistic facade symbolically represents the street culture of Schlesi. The title is contrasting the colorfulness of Kitra´s art and refers to the multi-layered understanding of his work, which goes beyond the mere admiration of strong colors.
