EVOL featured in PAPER Mag
EVOL’s New York debut is up at Jonathan LeVine Gallery and PAPER Mag was kind enough to feature his work in their latest issue. Carlo McCormick, a legendary downtown curator and critic, writes that EVOL is “One of the most important street artists to emerge from the Berlin scene…”
The show is up until May 5th. For exhibition information, please click here.
Incredible dance skills and undeniable aesthetic taste.
Jonathan LeVine is truly an inspiration.
I’m also pleased to announce that Evol will be showing at Jonathan LeVine Gallery in April!
More on that later. But everyone with any punk affinity, DIY allegiance or lowbrow love needs to go buy the book “Delusional,” post haste.
Fenster’s first music video is achingly beautiful and tragic, much like their debut LP Bones.
This so perfectly captures Berlin and its melancholy, wintery Zeitgeist.
Anyone going to SXSW this year should definitely see this band.

New writing in San Fran’s SOMA mag
SOMA is quickly becoming my all time favorite mag, mostly because they like all the same things I do…case in point, for this month’s “Hand Signals” column I had the distinct pleasure of interviewing the inspiring Anthony Asael, who fled his corporate cage to pursue a cause close to his heart. He’s since been to every single UN country (that’s 193 to date), sharing the joy of art and self-expression with children, the world’s most innocent citizens.
I also did a piece on painter Will Cotton. Adore! Perhaps the nicest artist making his mark on contemporary culture today. Check it here.
Happy holidays! xxx

From Russia…with evol
Just returned from a week in Moscow where Berlin-based artist EVOL was showing circuit square at the Moscow Biennial (curated by Peter Weibel of ZKM)…his piece would not have been possible without the infinite expertise and hospitality of Ms. Christina Steinbrecher (who’s the curator of the Art Moscow Art Fair, among many other noteworthy projects). Here’s the artforum scene and herd coverage.
Other artists in the Moscow Biennial included Ai Weiwei, Elmgreen and Dragset, Neo Rauch, Claire Fontaine, Gerhard Richter, Olafur Eliasson, and an ever increasing list of astonishingly mind-blowing media artists.
