Buildings & Bridges

Deathless, a gallery dedicated to stencilists and street artists in Mitte, is currently showing paintings and multilayered stencils by Boxi. I know nothing about him. All i’m sure of is that i stumbled upon one of his stencils while walking in Schlesisches Strasse a year ago. It’s the most graceful piece of streetart i’ve ever seen in Berlin. Yes, graceful, i guess it might sound odd. When i checked a while ago, the work had disappeared but a version of it is now adorning the wall outside the art gallery.

0boxxxi.jpgPress Release: Boxi’s latest work, “Buildings and bridges� addresses the encroaching and often unpremeditated art of graffiti eradication in Berlin, highlighting the difficulties of exhibiting the internal outside and the external inside. Boxi’s installation forges a link between the poles of high art and the grey area of post graffiti, playfully commenting upon the state of exclusion of one from the other.
