DWANE, Writing my Name Until it Matters

Skalitzers Contemporary Art is pleased to announce the first exhibition at the gallery's new 360sqm Berlin location, opening Saturday 10th November.

Skalitzers presents the first solo exhibition 'Writing My Name Until It Matters' in Berlin by Swedish, Hungarian Polish artist DWANE. This is the fifth show in the Fine Lines series, exploring the role of tagging within contemporary art.

Through exploration and experimentation the artist's nom de plume is written hundreds, even thousands of times, deformed, built up and torn apart until it is barely recognisable, opening the door to new contextual possibilities.

"This process eradicates the very essence of tagging, leaving no name to read and no typographic code to decipher. A process of "anti graffiti" painting utilising the most essential means of creating your graffiti identity and visual statement while destroying it at the same time." - DWANE

As a member of the notorious Vandals in Motion, DWANE has been laying the foundation for his latest series of works since he started writing in the mid 1980s in his home city of Gothenburg, Sweden. Almost 30 years later, in his first Berlin show, DWANE presents one immersive work: an abstract microcosm of the writer's reality.

Opening Saturday 10th November, 19-22HR
Exhibition 14th November - 8th December 2012

Skalitzers has an international focus on contemporary artists whose work on the streets has or continues to be an important part of their career. Established in 2009, Skalitzers produces exhibitions and projects with prominent and emerging artists between Europe and Australia.

Skalitzers has recently moved to a new 360sqm space in Friedrichshain, located at the former Railway Workshops (RAW) on Revaler Strasse between Warschauer Strasse and Modersohnstrasse.

Revaler Str 99 (RAW, Gate 4)
10245 Berlin - Friedrichshain
