Some years ago, a wave of great drawings and peices of art occured on walls worldwide. The movement of street art gained so much popularity, that the best artists got into merchandising or galleries and museums, while others sold themselves to advertising. Recently, the activist magazine Adbusters declared: street art is dead .
Some great new artists show that they can still be innovative with their street art. A great example is the street artist Blu . He recently painted so huge walls in our area in Kreuzberg (see pics), but more amazing are his street art animations . He did a small animation like that indoors in the Backjumps streetart exhibition in Berlin last year, but this one is outside, and quite stunning. Respect!

Yesterday I went for a fresh haircut to the nearby Freischneider Loge. The Loge is the art studio and salon of DJ-Artist-Hairdresser Tim Pernitzsch. He is an eccentric man, his studio is quite spaced out, full of small re-cut pieces of paper and trash, using his scissors to create his studio into a hypnotizing all-present installation.
Your unconscious is not only cut open by the scissors of his creations, your mind is also also swallowed by freaky, experimental electro: Tim used to be a Berlin DJ in the good old Techno times.
When I visit him, wether it is for a haircut or just a cup of tea, our talks meander between political conspiracies and art, like his influences by artists like the provocative German artist Jonathan Meese and his not less provocative uncle Joseph Beuys .
Is Pernitzsh a young Beuys?
