For all the German readers:  In two days the program LebensArt on the radio station WDR5 will broadcast an interview with El Bocho. The show is available as a livestream and starts at 15.05h. One day later it is available as a podcast here.

We are happy to present “Unbekannt“, an exhibition showing works of the photographers Timo Stammberger and Norman Behrendt at the non-commercial art space Fotogalerie Friedrichshain. Please come to the opening, on the 14th of January, 19h.

“Graffiti writers and other urban artists who work in public space, significantly influence the appearance of many cities and especially that of Berlin. In the exhibition “Unbekannt” (”Unknown”) the two Berlin based photographers Norman Behrendt and Timo Stammberger show portraits of some protagonists of these often difficult to access scenes. These people are often not perceived as artists, pursued by the police, and receive recognition only within their scene. But why do they follow an enormous pressure to perform, oppose the rules, and invest their money, time and energy into their art, with the risk of getting arrested? In “Unbekannt” the displayed artists are neither glorified nor condemned. Rather, Behrendt and Stammberger show intimate view of those, whose image is often distorted by the media.”

For more images see Burning down the house by Norman Behrendt and Urban Artists on Timo Stammbergers’ website.

The gallery is located central at the Warschauer Strasse S/U station (directions). More information at the Facebook group.

After working for one month in the House of Art in São Paulo / Brazil, El Bocho recently returned to Berlin and will present new works at the Raab Galerie.

El Bocho is happy to see you at the show. Please come, have a good time and enjoy a glass of wine.
