Joel Sternfeld’s retrospective now in its final days at the C/O Gallery covers some forty years of the artist’s career as a storyteller and pioneer of color photography. The exhibition itself tells as much of a story of Sternfeld’s life and his artistic development as each of his photographs do. It’s a colorful trek through the American landscape from the coasts of North Carolina to the rooftops of Chicago and the backyards of Pennsylvania. Yet it’s a journey not so much through America as it i... [more]

Political art has claimed Germany’s attention this year, and it doesn’t seem to be letting go. In the past year, the world has watched new democracies take shape in the Middle East, the simultaneous Occupations of financial districts around the globe, and the seemingly instant international fame of artists arrested by restrictive governments in Russia and China. The 7th Berlin Biennale, co-curated by Voina, the not-so-distant ancestor of the Russian political art group Pussy Riot (one of those instant... [more]

Though he has no formal training in Arabic calligraphy, graffiti artist eL SEED creates work recalling classic Arabic Kufic script, which is marked by straight elongated lines, sharp angles, and bold circular forms. In this calligraphic tradition the length of a vowel can be measured in a heartbeat, and eL SEED captures its staccato energy in gigantic scripts writ large on the streets of France, Canada, and Tunisia. Born as part of the Arab Diaspora in France, eL SEED made the streets of Paris his first canv... [more]

Tucked into a quiet corner of Schöneberg, the newly opened gallery Kunst-Projekt Forma:t offers a more intimate experience than the bustling galleries in Mitte and the more conservative galleries springing up along Potsdamer Strasse.

Berlin, July 2012: Since 1998, the Berlin-based street art and design collective KLUB7 has been showcasing their work -- a mixture of pop art, street grunge, and childlike playfulness -- on street fronts and in store fronts. The collective's style emerges from a intentional democratic synthesis of its six members' six distinct styles, which is how they've been able to stay together for more than a decade. True to their street art roots, they spend a lot of their time on free, public art projects,... [more]
