FORGED-ART EXHIBITION & AUCTION as warm-up for THE MAZE fest. 9th June at Westgermany!


ou Are Here Aka The Maze - Berlin Con Artists

Saturday, June 9th 2012

WestGermany
Skalitzer Str. 133
10999 Berlin

12 noon - 8 pm
(art auction from 5 pm)

---

""Who still believes in the original?"" Berlin "con artists" will fake important works of art which we will present and subsequently auction off in an exclusive exhibition / auction event.

In an exhibition that will finish after only 28.800 seconds, artists from Berlin will show their versions of famous art objects which will then be flogged to the highest bidder. All proceeds of the auction go towards organising a festival installation (or is it an installation festival?) named You Are Here aka The Maze (scheduled to take place in September 2012) and to the artists involved in the auction.

Ok, one more time: The fake is to serve the original! We're auctioning fake originals (or is it original fakes?) to raise funds for an arts event full of original art objects, namely the festillation instaval You Are Here aka The Maze which will take place in September. So you might say we believe in the original and the fake in equal measure, though it seems likely that this evenly distributed belief denies the original its originality, or value! therefore: ""Who still believes in the original?"" when I can get a better fake.

Participating artists:

Jim Avignon, Diego Castro, Mett Eagle, Stefan Fähler, Chrigel Farner, Martina Hoffmann, Claudia Immig, Marion Jdanoff, KRAPOOLA, Kristof Maria Künnsler, Stephan Laackman, Itty Minchesta (AtomicTitCorportation), Katharina Nesterova, Anne Paschvoß, Stephanie Piehl, Maximilian Rödel, Lisa Tiemann and Wilmar
