A spontanious collaboration between the two Keep Berlin Weird artists Mein Lieber Prost and Za-P who come from two different disciplines of art and from two very different artistic backgrounds. And the work shown here is not at all reminiscant of their traditional paths: Unlike Prost’s or Za-P’s contemporary artworks, this series of pictures is about dissing Berlin’s local issues like mass tourism, global warming, gentrification, life styles and even the public transportations strikes and delays. In the most comfortable way it can be stated that irony is a big part of this particular show on our city we love so much.

The exhibit took place at the Deutsch Französisches Jugendwerk in the heart of Berlin. Also a creative station was built up where visitors could share their own ways of global warming and other topics in creative ways. The p(r)ostcards from the exhibition which also work as stickers can be bought at the Keep Berlin Weird Shop.

We are welcoming artist as well as Berlin abandoned site specialist ZA-P to the Keep Berlin Weird crew

ZA-P Keep Berlin Weird new artist

Please join us in welcoming our newst artist to the Keep Berlin Weird crew: ZA-P.

Nomad for the past fifteen years, ZA-P has been traveling all over Europe and the world, exploring various subcultural networks which lead her to different artistic fields such as, among others, photography and screenprinting. She specialized in video editing, and obtained a professional degree at the University of Cinema Arts (2007-2009) in Barcelona. Since then she works as a videographer for all kinds of audiovisual projects all over Europe.

In Berlin her taste for the discovery of unusual places through urban exploration brought her to enter abandoned sites that she sees as hidden playgrounds tainted by mistery and forgotten histories. Her artwork underlines the beauty of decay and the nature conquering what man has left.

Her trademark items are pictures of those sites printed on metal objects, metal light boxes, and metal frames. Also her annual calendar editions of her urban explorations have become pretty famous among people looking for the extraordenary. All these articles of ZA-P will soon also be available at the Keep Berlin Weird Shop.
