This March, Dam Stuhltrager invited Berlin's design, film, fashion, music and performance scene to collaborate in a series of weekend "happenings" titled BERLIN COLLECT. Fashion designers dress musicians playing live, video artworks accent furniture design, photographers incorporate the audience. Feeling and seeing the energy, one recognizes this is a unique time in a unique place. Berlin is a city comprised of a long line of definitive moments. It is special to be a part of Berlin in this moment.

Dam, Stuhltrager Gallery

Brooklyn, New York

For Immediate Release: It is time to admit we no longer fit into the same outfit we have looked good in all the years past. The gallery program has expanded its waistline to include a European extension. The gallery artists have stepped into bigger, tailored shoes. The gallerist has been fitted to wear new prestigious hats.

DSG is headed to a new, larger Brooklyn location that suits the local artists it has grown with and the new international program it has grown into. This summer, DSG Berlin's 6 month old duckling emerges a swan. This coming year, DSG Brooklyn's teenager gets the braces taken off.

New alliances emerge in the global art world to form the nonprofit RSP, which will serve as a vital hub for developing international cultural dialogue by facilitating large scale contemporary Public Art projects. This September, RSP goes public with its first official year of programming which includes high profile Public Art in both Europe and America, a residency program and 2500sq ft homebase project space in Kreuzberg, Berlin. Too momentious to be idle this summer awaiting the big debut, RSP has already started:

After exhibiting in the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai, American Ryan Wolfe arrived in Berlin as RSP’s artist-in-residence to develop his latest work, “Study For a Perfect Storm“. Wolfe debuts the interactive artwork completed during his two months thus far in Berlin in “220V”.

After a grueling ordeal with German Customs, an ambitious shipment of guitars is released. Surviving the physical toll of making the way from New York City, the guitars are set to deliver a mashing, bashing, crashing and pounding live performance for their European debut in Berlin. Audience participation is encouraged in this live performance. The guitars will never be the same again.

In "A Materialized Order", four artists present their visions of patterns developing in an emerging reality that are informed and altered by a rapidly developing technological world. Read Full Exhibition Press Release

Exhibit: <I PLAY I>
Venue: ConcentArt e.V.
Artists: Georgi Begun, Cyland, Alexandra Dementieva, Anna Frants, Raphaele Shirley, Peter Vogel, Florian Japp, Marte Kiessling, Jorgen Erkius
Curated by: Leah Stuhltrager

The ways artists express themselves creatively is traced back to their childhood. From constructing cities with blocks to banging on pots to making tree forts to devising strategies to win games - an artist begins a life of creating with curiosity, wonder and unencumbered imagination which is developed through "PLAY". One can only hope these traits are not abandoned with youth and instead mature into a distinct artistic voice.

In <I PLAY I> at ConcentArt, installations embody how sophisticated curiosity, wonder and unencumbered imagination can in essence, become ageless. A futuristic, miniature city is daintily ordered and delicately planned to cast a societal shadow. Sculptures whimsically move and generate sounds in reaction to someone walking nearby to grab attention. Peeking one's head inside a suspended boat divulges the view from the hideaway's perspective. Moving cans of "fodder" creates a panorama of an environment nearing extinction... <I PLAY I> reminds us we are never too old to remember what we've learned and to dream bigger than that.
