Nick Dewar (Kollektiv Berlin) at Kunstraum Richard Sorge Lunar New Year

Haim Steinbach fuer Arme? A brilliant and timely comment on the sleek shoulder-paddded 80's art that is still dominating today's art scene. Nick Dewar, one of Kollektiv-Berlin's artists, mixes references to Cy Twombly, Duchamp, Street-art and kitsch in work that toys with the often overlooked decorative aspect of art. It perfectly encapsulates the grungy Berlin style of the moment.
