I am so sad that I couldn’t see them in action. The french theatre company Theatre Royal made a fantastic piece of street theatre playhappen in the streets of Berlin. Two giant puppets were looking for each other to finally reunite at the Brandenburger Tor. The puppets are hanging from cranes but actually are moved by humans. And the not only move their feet but even their eyes are moving. They are amazingly lively! WOW! I loved it! here are my pictures taken at night when they were sleeping:
I would like to suggest you this event in Munich:I am invited to show photos out of the book (and some unreleased ones) in a very great group show with my friend and tattoo artist Ratz/ Martin Radtke, great streetart artist Won ABC and woodcarver Anselm Kiederer. it will all take place in the gallery Masset and Richter in Munich. all artwork is purchasable. there’ll be a live band and a lot of interesting people. I am very much looking forward to this event!!hope to see you around!
LAst weekend I was at the Head Banging, the hotrod race where the book’s history started. That is where I saw for the first time for real hotrods and customs racing. Yvonne and Lutz were so kind to sell my books at their stall with the event shirts as there are no stalls on the event. (THANK YOU!) So I could walk around, have a chat and a beer and take some photos of the race. The event was smaller than the years before which was really nice for the athmosphere. Also the race was smaller but not worse! In the final Ottl of Suedstahl and Alex with his Hemi-powered roadster were the two competitors. I lied on the ground to take a photo. I don’t know… some of you probably know the sound of these two monsters that win races like nothing… but lieing on the ground… oh my god I can tell you… the ground was shaking!! I’m serious!!! amazing!
It was a great fun weekend! and then on sunday: HOPPED-UP was SOLD OUT! Where the whole book thing started for me it ends now. But only for the moment of course!
Again I am looking for sponsors to be able to get printed the second print run of this book that sold 1000 copies within 3months! please let me know if you have an idea!
what a great weekend! thanks to everyone involved and big thanks to Terry& Anna and Jerry Chatabox for inviting me! (and Sue for the fantastic lift to the race)
Hopped-Up goes UK on one more level. I just discussed with the PROUD gallery in Camden to maybe do a exhibition over there in one of their gallery spaces in the old horse hospital in Camden markets. would take place in 2010. stay tuned for news!
