The fourth edition is coming up while exactly one year ago they have been already very successful in the Bavarian town. Stroke happened also in Berlin and in 2010 more than 25.000 visitors got along to see the work of 600 artists from around the globe. We talk about an event of those brothers Marco and Raiko Schwalbe who founded Stroke artfair to bring in a platform for galleries, artists and creative to present themselves in a more serious way than having an appearance part xyz on the street. It has a focus, it gives a reason to meet and yet it is all about street art, urban art and their facettes. New and fresh Stroke gathers a big load of creativity being an artfair with authentic and contemporary direction. The visitors are getting a very good overview of what is going on in this new movement bogarting more and more space in every town – on walls, shirts, billboards, commercials, retailers, galleries, legal or illegal became secondary. Nobody can ignore the power of creation within the modern life. It is not surprising that the lack of information who does what and where, how and why needed a platform. The aim is to present the work of talented people to a wider audience. As many people as possible should see creative work whether they are young guns or established superstars. The approach is to lift up the scene, new or old-school, established or mummend, professional or engaged, all have that streety appeal. Stroke is the spreadhead as an urban artfair and many people are willing to show their quirk work and direct in this show, that’s why four event days are on schedule giving the chance to discover the most. In May in Munich, end of September again in Berlin. We keep you informed.

Demolition sites. Wasteland. Cocaine or whatever. Feel the angst and the romanticism of just another nightshift in this landscape of the soul. Dents in wire fences tell stories of those who climbed them before we did. From spraypaint on the skin of subway trains to photography on aluminium – the hands of boom play in the church of dirt. But never talk to strangers because ART IS JUST A FOUR LETTER WORD.

Compiled by Robert Kaltenhäuser.

Vernissage will take place on 18. 02. 2011 um 19h at strasserauf headquarters, Ronsdorfer Str.74, Halle 14, 40322 Düsseldorf.

In 1984 he founded the artist group Les Frères Ripoulin, which attracted attention by pasting up their paintings on advertising billboards. Popular imagery and the media inspired OX’s work at that time, and New York gallerist Tony Shafrazi exhibited their work in January 1985.After 2 years of wild pastings and exhibitions the crew split, with OX then devoting himself to painting on canvas.In 1993 he began pasting up works on paper in the street, while continuing to exhibit in galleries.By the dawn of 2000, his work in urban areas had grown to become his preferred way of expression. Initial displays were primarily intended to show his painting to the greatest extent, but over time the urban space has become increasingly important in dictating graphical choices.After a variable exposure time in the street, the posters are destroyed by takeover.The staging photo shows the moment when the piece creates tension with its environment.OX’s recent ephemeral interventions in public space are minimalist and mimetic compositions, using commercial imagery in an ironic way, and his current work stems from the notion of aesthetic shock.

KINGDRIPS is an art collective & design studio based in Hamburg, Germany.
Run by four individual artists, whose aesthetic influences range from graffiti and urban scenes to design and fine arts. This has lead to a wide range of very recognizable imagery: the brand Kingdrips. As they juggle with different individual styles, they juggle with the boundaries between fine arts and commercially interesting works: in their eyes, it is a smooth transition as long as they don´t come into conflict with their creative and artistic freedom. It’s all about Friendship and the dream to live like they like to – to work and have fun doing it!
