Revenge Of The Nerds is my column for HONK! magazine – art, photography, fashion & music online magazine from Berlin. 2010 was the year when the 80s were back, 2011 is obviously the year the fashion and all other industries joined forces to bring back the 90s. No matter what decade is coming back in which year, style and taste are

UPDATE: BL33N.com is finally officially open! Yesterday my inbox had only one name in the sender section: Matthias Vriens-McGrath. There was also one single subject: BL33N. We were obsessing about the magazine, the clothes, the artists, the faces representing the idea and the images. It is a dog’s life choosing from the whole collection, so I will make it easy
Read MoreHold your breath, this will change your life. Melvin the Magical Mixed Media Machine (or just Melvin the Machine) is best described as a Rube Goldberg machine with a twist. Besides doing what Rube Goldbergs do best – performing a simple task as inefficiently as possible, often in the form of a chain reaction – Melvin has an identity. Actually,
Read MoreBad kissers are everywhere. God knows I unfortunately know loads of them. They either try to lick your face like a baset or just stay there with their mouth open and play the dead man. Sean, who has the same slimy problem with disappointing kissers, stumbled upon this amazing new make-out teaching device for couples. It is a witty art project
Read MoreThere are a lot of “before/after” images out there, but these captured my attention so intensely that they almost knocked me out. In the gallery, find a pick of Nicolai Howalt’s Boxer series capturing the expressions of young boxers before and after the fight.

You can see his work exhibited in Tape Modern’s Peep Show in Berlin. RSVP to the
Read MoreSean might be a visual artist, but in fact the medium he always relies on is (his) sensuality. His photographs and videos are always levitating somewhere between sensual eruption, sexual seduction and make you either think about your wicked ways of dating behavior or simply jack off. For Tape Modern’s Peep Show, Sean Johnson presents “Pizza Party” What it is and
Read MoreDespina Stokou gets bodied. Her work deals with gender roles and identity issues, as well as the underlying sexuality in almost anything. Maybe that’s also the foremost reason why she has been included in the Peep Show this Friday in Tape Modern Berlin. RSVP to the event here. Where do you get inspiration from for your art? My work deals
Read MoreChristopher Winter like to live out his sexual fantasies onthe canvas. Ora maybe in real life too. He is curating the Peep Show edition of Tape Modern this Friday in Berlin. And showing a piece of his art, too. Here is what we talked, 2 days before the art show. Where do you get inspiration from for your art? From
Read MoreThis Friday Berlin’s dance and disco temple TAPE will turn to a gallery for just one night, yet again. Many claim that the show has been called Tape Modern to confuse tourists and make them believe it has anything to do with the Tate Modern in London, but as much as I appreciate and love Tate, Tape Modern has a
Read MoreKITA is usually an abbreviation for kindergarden in German, but this KITA is more about the kids, their art and less about the synthesizing of words. DADATEK, a creative initiative for the curation of bizarre art parties, present KITA – aka Kunst für Irrationale Tugend und Ablichtung – in other words, the art of play!
