The Fall - Paintwork A Tribute to Mark E. Smith 18th of may 2006 till 12th of june 2006, Tue-Sun 2pm-9pm Opening Thu 18th of May, 8pm For the 30th birthday of The Fall there will be a special event in Berlin. Several artists who either made artwork for the record-covers, referred their work to The Fall, got inspired by the music and the attitude or used the band as a code, a cultural phenomenon will exhibit old and new work. The artists in this group-exhibition are very different - and very much the same: they all relate to music and transfer this passion into art - paintings, drawings, videos, sculptures, performances. Especially the artists who did the old album covers have since then developed and will be showing new work. Now, as then, inspired by The Fall. So the exhibition will not only be a retrospective but "work in progress" like The Fall. Paintwork. It is the first time these artists exhibit together. Their only link: The Fall. Paintwork: Sold off in one go The Paintwork-Exhibition stays together and will move to Hamburg. The whole show was bought by Sebastian Cording, a lawyer and passionate Fall-Fan. There are already requests showing an extended version of the exhibition in other cities. According to Cording the artwork will be shown in the law-firm CMS Hasche Sigle. We want to say thank you to everybody involved in this project. All rights reserved. © Praxis Hagen, Berlin 2006.
