`Artipoeus visits Henrik Strömberg’s Echoes in Dust at A Plus in Berlin.  My mom and dad used to throw amazing parties. One time, they threw a party that featured a whole roast suckling pig. I remember sitting in the kitchen with my Swedish grandmother, wondering whether pig’s brains were tasty or not. Our discussion was interrupted by my dad, suddenly appearing kitchen to get something, who proclaimed, “never eat brains. They’re disgusting.” Moral questions aside, one thing we knew for sure: my dad isn’t a zombie.

`Artipoeus interviews American video artist and VJ Aaron Kulik, in Berlin.  One of the things Berlin is best known for is its music scene.  You can find every kind of music here, from electronica to ambient to trance to dance to hip hop to pop, grunge, rock, rockabillly, punk, and polka.  Aaron Kulik is a Berlin-based video artist, working as a VJ supporting Michigan born, DJ Seth Troxler.  The two are a natural fit: Seth’s work is based in techno and house, with a good dose of sounds from the African and Latino diaspora.  Even when they.re dark, his tracks are bright, in high relief and a little surreal, sort of the way every day objects look in a solar eclipse.

Artipoeus visits Philip Newcombe’s solo exhibit, Mosquito, at gallery A Plus in Berlin. 

I found a vintage utility cart on this thing here in Berlin, called eBay Kleinanzeigen. It’s like Craigslist in the US, or Le Bon Coin in France. I love finding stuff on these types of sites, because it’s a whole process: you browse browse browse, and when you find something you like, you make contact. You arrange to pick it up, bring cash. And it always requires a journey — to a new place, a new part of town, an encounter, and then a journey home. It’s like a home-made quest, only without the glory.

Artipoeus visits Lithuanian artist Emilija Škarnulytė video installation Manifold at Decad Gallery, in Berlin.

Somewhere around the 6th grade, mathematics stopped making sense to me. I was good at it, and then suddenly I wasn’t. Of course now that I’m entering the 44th grade, I kind of understand why, but back then it was a mystery to me. Which, in turn, made physics a mystery, and astronomy, the planets, and space… and the more mysterious it was, the more it called to me. Like a siren song.

Artipoeus hits the streets with a Graffiti Primer and a look at Berlin graffiti legends, 1Up Crew.

Graffiti is not street art. Street artists can do graffiti, and graffers can do street art, but generally they are two separate breeds. Street art usually tells a story, comments on the world in the immediate vicinity or the world at large, and is closer to film in its visual nature. It’s often meant to be discovered, to surprise and to make you think.

Special thanks to Tona Hamashige, aka “Hope” — one of the original New York City graffiti writers, for her contributions to this episode. You can follow her work and the archival graffiti work she documents on Instagram at writingxwrongs.

Featuring the original track "Monuments", by Cedric Till, aka Concrete Cee and produced by Wasaru. You can follow him on Soundcloud at Concrete Cee.
