Berlin has been vibrant for the last decade or so, how does Berlin as a city have an impact on your activities, and in what aspects?

Actually I’ m curating a group show called “Berliner Strasse”, which is about 7 Berlin based artists relating to contemporary art & street culture. I was interested in the question how street art can be defined in a broader way. Really substantial street art seems globally reduced on a few people like Swoon, Banksy, Blu, Os Gemeos or Shepard Fairy. As the elements we love is street & art I made up a case on Berlin trying to show what’ s going on in the Berlin scene… “Berliner Strasse” is coming up with popular street artists Nomad, graphic artist and owner of Lodown magazine Marok, the graffiti legends Neon and Daniel Tagno, painter Adriana Ciudad Witzel and the creative masterminds Anton Unai and Jaybo aka Monk.

Are there any artist or creative people that you haven’t worked with but would like to in the near future?

Yes, Circleculture Gallery will hold on the mission to the street. We will bring to Berlin different well known protagonists out of the global street art scene in 2008. And as usual collaborating with rising talents from different art fields.

Which places in Berlin apart from Circleculture Gallery would you most recommend to visit that could be least known to the readers?

Feel welcome to our city, try to see instead of looking. Berlin will never stop loving you.

What is your next big plan?

We’ re preparing a 150 square meter installation with the Circleculture artist Anton Unai in a loft in Berlin Mitte spring 2008. We’ re expecting a creative bomb dropping. Stay tuned.
