The spirits that we call on: Pappas Pärlor and Skeleton Cardboard bring their art to Schöneberg’s Bülow quarter
- March 13, 2018
At the beginning of March, the urban artists known for their remarkable works will be beautifying additional community walls along Bülowstraße. Neighbors and those interested are invited to watch over the artists’ shoulders and witness the emergence of unique works of art.
The URBAN NATION MUSEUM FOR URBAN CONTEMPORARY ART procures and shows art not only on the interior walls of the museum building, but also, to a large extent, on the outside.
Berlin’s many facades and walls, which URBAN NATION is able to design with the help of international and local street-art greats and newcomers, transform the city into a colorful
canvas. From March 9th to 11th on Bülowstraße in Berlin-Schöneberg, the artists Pappas Pärlor and Skeleton Cardboard will put their art on display for everyone in the urban space.
About the artists
Pappas Pärlor (Sweden)
Work of art’s planned time of origin: March ninth until the eleventh
Location: various locations along Bülowstraße
Pappas Pärlor is a full-time artist from Sweden who decided on fuse beads as his main material (melting beads or ironing beads). His weapon of choice is humor, with which he has made a
name for himself in his home country. Along with the retro gaming community, political events as well as pop culture serve as inspiration for his various motifs, which he often portrays as
well-known pixel or comic figures.
Skeleton Cardboard (Great Britain)
Work of art’s planned time of origin: March 9th to 11th
Location: Bülowstraße 97
Skeleton Cardboard is an established artist in London who studied graphic design. Influenced by the streets of the British metropolitan, DIY culture, outsider art, zines, skate and music culture as well as “Dia de los Muertos”, he primarily depicts abstract skeletons on walls, doors, canvases, as well as on the items that he finds.
About Community Walls
In a smaller format than the facades of the famous One-Wall series, the community walls around Bülowstraße invite people to look over the shoulders of artists during the emergence of a work of art and to follow the design process. The individual works and artistic positions are supposed to enrich the street’s image and to also stimulate contemplation and dwelling even outside of the museum.
