HYP in BERLIN
05.15.08
Mr. HYP just returned from his first international show, Die Post Ist Da, at Intoxicated Demons gallery in Berlin. Mike showed his latest works alongside ARO and Morten Andersen. Here’s some of Mike’s pics and thoughts on his recent adventure,
“Just returned from Berlin. . . the show was amazing. That town goes off! Between hanging the show, the opening, seeing The Beatnuts play, some mid-day shopping / sneaker freaking in Mitte and Kreuzberg, then seeing Rubies / Jaime Lidell at Admiralspalaast AND James Lavelle’s DJ set at the LOWDOWN / Fenchurch party at Cookies the same night. . . . it was a busy, exhausting and amazing 3.5 days. Maybe I’ll recover this week. . .
I think I could live for a year in one of Morten’s paintings and never see the same thing twice, kid has some serious talent. The layers he builds up are so intense that they actually reveal intricacies in different light conditions. Nuts. Seeing ARO’s stuff up close and personal makes me rethink the way I use Illustrator. That kid twists vectors like no one I’ve ever met. To top off the fact they are massively talented, both guys are incredibly humble and have mastered the craft of late night madness. And hearing a Danish dude drop Quasimoto lyrics in Germany made me realize that we are in a truly global culture with zero lag time. Also, I’ve gotta give props to Marco who runs Intoxicated Demons Gallery, he hooked us up hardcore and is a visionary for filling the contemporary gallery void in Berlin. The gallery is a killer space, filled with fine beats, slate-walls and cold beers.
All in all a great, albeit short trip. I can’t wait to get back. . .” -HYP
