Where: BERLIN, GERMANY : SENATSRESERVENSPEICHER, Cuvrystrasse 3-4, Berlin Kreuzberg
When: From July 20th until August 19th 2007

The concept: In the beginning, the city was without form and void. Then the streets became a gallery, the gaps filled up with art and life: Over 21 days we will create an exhibition about Street Art which will develop along with the city itself.

This project is a combination of street art and gallery art and aimed to create a dialogue to understand this form of expression. The exhibition was a process where the Artists developed their work over three weeks, which consisted of 50 painted signs - then for a month sent the work out into the streets, in public places around the exhibition space - the public were invited to join in the creation process by discovering the artworks/signs and bringing them back to the gallery. Each placard that came back to the gallery was signed and numbered by the artists and at the end of the show given back to its finder. There was a 50% success rate. This project questioned ownership, authenticity and the significance and value of artwork depending on the context that it is presented.

Do check out the artists own websites and see more of their work.
