Anton Unai – A Studio Visit

Anton Unai – A Studio Visit

Just a few weeks ago I shoke hands the first time with Anton Unai, an artist that I have followed and admired for quite some time now, at an exhibition opening at Urban Spree gallery, where he also happens to have his studio. He was so kind to show me around in his artist liar which was a great joy for me as I could see a lot of his work, published and unpublished. While we spoke about art, fame and fortune I took the liberty to make some photos for you which you can see after the jump. There you can also enjoy his latest moving picture work, a short film called tear drops.

If you think this week is only about fashion in Berlin you are wrong! Because tomorrow the Urban Affairs Extended Street Art Festival will open at Stattbad Wedding. We saw this last summer at Brauerei Friedrichshöhe and it was pretty amazing. The new location is also very promising as I have already experience a cool party there a few weeks back.

Some of Berlin’s most popular street artists will take part in this big group show, including Anton Unai, Nomad, El Bocho and Alias, as well as international street art hero Banksy. Go after the jump to see the full schedule. You can win tickets for the official party on Saturday here.
