COMPRESSED presented by NEON CHOCOLATE at .HBC Berlin

I was very pleased to be asked by Neon CHocolate to participate in their anniversary show at .HBC in Berlin.


From the press release:

In its almost two years of existence, Neonchocolate Gallery introduced Berlin in quick succession to exiting works by young national and international artists.

Now the gallery is truly turning up the heat with the exhibition .COMPRESSED – a collection of one hundred handpicked works of urban art, painting, photography, illustration, collage, and design – which will be on view at Berlin’s .HBC March 5–8, 2012 and culminate in a live auction. The exhibition is curated by Oliver Thoben and Uwe Neu in cooperation with Kat Wilhelm, formerly of Christie’s London. Fares Al Hasan (www.fly-auctions.com), a licensed art auctioneer and collector who has conducted over forty successful auctions to date, will lead the final evening.

The auction and preceding exhibition .COMPRESSED will be held at .HBC Berlin, Karl-Liebknecht-Str. 9.
Art Auction: March 8, 2012 at 7 pm
