Fugue/Trampoline is a small spectacular dance piece, somewhere between circus and poetry, for a man and an object, composed on Philip Glass' Metamorphosis n°2. Turning a seemingly ordinary movement into something off-beat, Yoann Bourgeois fools the vacuum, plays with the laws of gravity and weightlessness to reach a state of freedom between balance and the lack thereof. In this visual poem, the artist reinvents a breathtaking and sensitive march towards the suspension point, the instant of the absolute present, when the flight of a body reaches its peak and the fall has not yet begun. No weight. Anything is possible.

🔴 | CHAPTER #7: HYBRID HISTORIES
Art can provide a mechanism for the retelling of history and propaganda. Artist duo Various & Gould work on collective memory – with their sculptures and urban interventions, they symbolically remove colonial figures off the pedestal and shift the shadows of history and the present.
❓These observations bring us back to the initial question: Are we prepared to consider different perspectives and really learn from history? Let us know in the comments what you think!

🟢 | CHAPTER #1: WE NEED TO TALK
This chapter highlights the communication paradox of our time: there is, despite large technical possibilities, a fundamental lack of dialogue. Here the artworks are presented in conversation with each other, offering different perspectives on the same topic. Such as Low Bros and Josephine Sagna point out structural racism. Through examining the privileges of white people (Low Bros) and the conflict of identity through BiPoC women (Joséphine Sagna).
❓These observations bring us back to the initial question: Is my perception the only true one? Please discuss in the comments!

We sat down with martha cooper and Steven P. Harrington and Jaime Rojo of Brooklyn Street Art to talk about Martha Cooper's major retrospective at the URBAN NATION Museum, discuss the newly opened library based on the photographer's donation, and ask about new trends in the street art movement and how to spot them.
The full version of the interview will soon be up on our website, stay tuned! 🖤
MARTHA COOPER LIBRARY: BOOK RECOMMENDATION
📖 | Title: Graffiti A New York
🖋 | Author: Andrea Nelli
🗓 | Year: 1978
📚 | Publisher: Cosenza, Lerici
ℹ | Description: VII, 121 p. : numerous ill.
As early as 1978, Andrea Nelli published “Graffiti a New York,” an extensive essay, after he had already been confronted with the name prints in the cityscape six years earlier during his first trip to the city. For his research he interviews actors, gallery owners, collects newspaper reports and analyzes the rapidly changing movement. Due to the bankruptcy of the publishing house only a few weeks after the publication of his dissertation in 1978, the work received little attention from researchers and only became a coveted collector’s item in scene circles.
But forty years after Nelli’s first visit to New York, “Graffiti a New York” was rediscovered, translated into English, and reissued in 2012 by the Italian publisher Wholetrain Press. In addition to the original text, there are over 100 historical photographs by the author, showing arguably the most important phase of the evolution towards classic graffiti. Both the original and the new edition are part of the holdings of the Martha Cooper Library.
Attention Berlin: martha cooper , along with Steven P. Harrington and Jaime Rojo of Brooklyn Street Art , welcome you to the UN Museum tonight to celebrate the release of @Obey Giant's print "People's Discontent"!
The doors will be open from 8 pm Berlin time (GMT +1). But don't worry: even if you can't attend the event, you still have the chance to get your hands on a copy via our web store. The online sale starts simultaneously at 8 pm: https://shop.urban-nation.com/en

URBAN NATION PROJECT HUZUR
Exactly two weeks ago, we had he pleasure to reveal our latest project in the neighborhood at Huzur a great place and meeting point for seniors and people living in the building right next to our Production Office in Bülowstrasse 94.
Artists Felix Rodewaldt, OSTAP Artist and the SELFMADEcrew created a colorful and bright space out of the formerly rather outdated entry way integrating portraits of some of the seniors living there.
Thank you all who supported and came out to help , contribute and visited especially the artists.
Check out the final video👇and come visit us at the museum !! While you walk down the street you can see some of the work in the windows!
THANK YOU!
Thank you all for your generous support! 👏👏 Since the museum opened in September, our visitors from all over the world donated more than 10.000 Euros to support the work of URBAN NATION.
Thank you! Vielen Dank! Merci beaucoup! Muchas gracias! Grazie mille! Dziekujemy! Teşekkürler! Dank je wel! Terima kasih! We are very grateful!
UN-project @HUZUR
Hey, out there! 👋Our current cooperation project with OSTAP Artist, the SELFMADEcrew and Felix Rodewaldt is in the making. Good day!
See our teaser on the project below. Final results soon to be find on our web. Stay curious 😊
Another #funday at work! We spent this tuesday with these amazing kids from the Heinz Brandt school Berlin who came to ask questions about the art and the technique. They guessed the amount of stencils and if it was reaaaaaally painted cause it looks too real so we spoke about realism and futurism and they came up with a new category "antiism" where nothing matters and you just paint all categories in one - so there's a challenge for all creatives out there.☝
We tagged, we stenciled and we laughed. Yasha was told that she needs to produce masks made out of recycled material and sell them cheaper than 8 dollars ... a successful afternoon all in all! ✌
