Rebel Goes Berlin – Exhibition

Janina Hübner — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 16:01:34 +0000

At the family and friends private opening of the Rebel Offices in Berlin, guests were treated to a rare glimpse of works collected by Modart Magazine, featuring outsider artists that Rebel supported before the rest of the world was ready for it.

Artwork included pieces from artists like Jim Avignon, Blu, Jeroen Jongeleen (Influenza) Stephen Smith (Neasden Control Centre), Will Barras (Scrawl Collective/No New Enemies), Tim Biskup, Stefan Strumbel and others who have gone on to influence the future of art and culture, moving from low to high and sweating out a legacy that only looks like it appeared overnight.

After a brief introduction to the work from the Modart crew, things were predictable in the only way that Rebel ever is: they rocked and rolled as people stuck around until the sun rose, the music stopped and the generous bar was empty.

There is a tremble in Berlin and it just began spreading from the new Rebel Offices.

Modart Book #02 – Out now!

Janina Hübner — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 10:00:27 +0000

Modart Book #02 is a showcase of what we love about Street Art: a shared human condition (mousse) and a movement in art that sees art work quickly dismissed as ‘shit’, and almost as quickly digested until it’s perceived as ‘THE shit.’

The first half of the book focuses on what follows Street Art and traces a subversive movement known as Moussism back to Caravaggio.

Artists include:
Zoe Strauss (USA), Jeroen Jongeleen (NL), David Shrigley (UK), Abner Preis (USA), Willehad Eijers (DE), East Eric (FR), Nomad (DE), Mark Jenkins (USA) and Will Barras (UK).

The second half of the book gives some insight into the projects Modart participated in during 2009/10, while talking about various artworks via antidotes about our escapades in Brussels, Berlin, Tirana, Miami and other cities around the world.

Artists include:
Dadara (NL), Logan Hicks (USA), The Math Rat (BZ), Morcky Troubles (IT), Alex Diamond (DE), Admir Jahic / The Invisible Heroes (CH), Faith47 (SA), Swanski (PL), Byram (BE), Boris Hoppek (DE), H. Beagle (USA), ROA (BE), Ripo (USA) and Smash137 (CH).

YouTube drawings – The Star Wars Kid

No New Enemies — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 11:39:42 +0000

Without You Baby There Ain’t No Us, is a project from Swiss Artists Admir Jahic and Comenius Roethlisberger (The Invisible Heroes). The most recent work in this project, spoke of crisis by referring to passion and absurd commitment to a joyous idea; the same sort of brilliant display that unfortunately caused the Star Wars Kid some pain (where as in exchange he made millions of people smile.) For this installation, Jahic and Roethlisberger recreated 604 rendered frames from this YouTube phenomenon, all of which will be on display at the Scope Art Fair in Basel as of Monday June 8th, 2009.
