Yesterday I visited this vernissage at MMA – Mixed Munich Arts. It was the exhibition of NOMNOMVEGA and AUGUSTCC, two extraordinary persons and well ambitious photographers. NOMNOMVEGA is Nadya Vanessa Vega. Rawness but squareness seems to be a motto of her partly quite erotic pictures which look like taken from the real surreal life. Unordinary crooked people in a well-balanced camera-captured environment. AUGUSTCC is August Castell-Castell. In his photos you find the effervescence of euphoric inebriate people sucking in the captivating damp of the world in one moment or two. Snatches of instant happenings, key moments of auspiciousness and insensibility for aggravating inconveniences.

NOMNOMVEGA – Hanna head over [sorry for leaving a selfy in that]

AUGUSTCC – Global Warming [sorry for leaving a selfy in that one too]

The vernissage was very well-visited. Due to reflexions I was unable to shoot accurate photos of the single framed pictures. Thats why I will only show a few impressions here. You should definitely visit the artists websites to get a fully loaded indentation about the distinguished works of them two.

Ok! Egypt has enough problems these days. Succeeded revolutions followed by collapsing revolutions followed by military revolutions. Hell knows what revolution comes next. One thing seems to be sure. It won’t be a democratic revolution. But wasn’t that the revolution people protested on the streets for in the first place? And now Egypt also has Germs again! This time they settled at Sharm El Sheik but they harmed no one. [شكرا Irischka!]

Suggested by friends we did this Street-Art-Tour through London East. With nicest 28° we followed the leader to discover plenty murals, past-ups, stick-ups, graffitis and stencils. Karim gave a lot of insights and background-stories on the many artists working there legally and illegally. Within the four hours tour [!] we’ve seen works by Christiaan Nagel, Stik, Invader, Obey Giant, C215, Eine, Xylo, dr.d, Phlegm, Roa, Ben Wilson, Dal East, El Mac, Thierry Noir, Clet Abraham and Pablo Delgado who has a current exhibition at Howard Griffin Gallery where the tour ended. The tour was definitely good and I have the straight feeling I will do it again some day. There is too much to see and the pieces of work change quite rapidly. And well, I took too many fotos to show them all here, so I dropped a lot of them on >> flickr >> check them out if you like. Sorry if I forgot to name a few important artists here, it’s just too much to handle. I did my best. [Thanks a lot to Ira, Assia, Schucko, Laura and J.J.F. for a splendid time and thanx to Karim and the crew from streetartlondon.co.uk/tours >>]

About two weeks ago Gabriela von Habsburg showed plenty of her lithographies and some of her smaller iron-sculptures at the German Hop Museum in Wolnzach. Listen up: It’s Hop Museum, not Hip Hop Museum. Exactly, it’s the stuff you make beer from. Joking aside: Eduard Kastner from the Kastner AG opened the evening with a speech on the upcoming european elections. The vernissage was very well visited. A few hundred people, I would guess, started absorbing the artworks of Gabriela before heading over to the amazing buffet waiting outside. The tables were stuffed with characteristic snacks from all european nations. All in all it was a pretty interesting event. [Thanks a lot to Eduard Kastner for the invitation!]

Claudia Macias and Rafael Ruz Valencia had this lovely exhibition today at Atelier Hermann Rosa in Munich. Sneaking through hedges and trees we found this beautiful atelier-place of the sculptor Hermann Rosa were Claudia and Rafael showed some of their impressive works. Surrounded by nice people we did experience fine oil-paintings. I wish we could have stayed much longer. [Thank you for this very special private view!]
