Alternative Magazine on Strychnin Gallery London opening, October 2007

"If you are looking for something completely different from the poncy-arsed bull-shit that is usually fobbed off to the general public as the new fashionable art (I’m thinking the dishonest, shallow, corporate and totally unskilled “work” of the Emin’s and Hirst’s etc) then look no further, The Strychnin Gallery has come to the rescue! 
The gallery has bases in Berlin and New York and has recently opened up in London. Like our very precious and unique Horse Hospital, The Strychnin Gallery is a patron, conduit and showcase for all manner of underground, alternative and subversive art, which otherwise would have not got such high exposure. And like The Horse Hospital, The Strychnin attracts a very down to earth, yet intelligent, discerning and fun crowd to its premieres and shows – so if you want to network, or just be sociable, with like-minded people who are into the same kind of sick and twisted art that reprobates like us get off on, then this is the place to visit! 
The opening London gala for the group show “Kings and Queens and Childhood Dreams” on October 26th attracted a cornucopia of “Subaltcult” people ( my new expression for “Subversive Alternative Culture” ) and highlights over 50 strange and wonderful artists. Think the comic Heavy Metal mixed Hello Kitty, Manga, Vince Ray, Dali, H.R. Giger, Hans Bellmer, Joe Coleman and biker airbrush art and you will have a rough idea of what to expect. Plus a lot of the sublime artworks are up for sale – most of it online: give them your support and they will be here to stay."

Mit Jugendkulturen flirten und dabei gegenständlich bleiben. Yasha Young und ihre Friedrichshainer Galerie Strychnin 

Das Wort "Gothic" hört die Galeristin Yasha Young nicht gern, wenn es um ihre Strychnin-Galerie geht. "Europäer sehen immer nur Gothic, weil die Bilder dunkel sind, das ist es aber nicht." Passender findet sie die Bezeichnung "Pop-Surrealismus", um die Kunst zu beschreiben, die sie seit zweieinhalb Jahren in einem Ladenlokal an der Boxhagener Straße in Friedrichshain präsentiert.

Das hermetische Café - Chet ZarDIE WELT

Ein Fremder in mir 

Das kann einem auch nur in Hamburg passieren: Da sitze ich an Wieverfastelovend mutterseelenallein in Hamburg und spiele mit meiner Krawatte als würde Edward Hopper Karneval feiern - und währenddessen kaspern im Rheinland die Narren womöglich als gäbe es kein 2008. Ich fürchte, im preußischen Berlin wird es am Wochenende nicht viel anders sein...

Sehr übermüdet, aber voller Vorfreude taumelte ich dann am Freitag zur Vernissage von Chet Zar. In der Strychnin-Galerie war bereits angenehm trubelig was los, freundlich düstere Menschen vor ebenso düsteren Gemälden, gute Laune hatte nach und nach den vorhandenen Sauerstoff ersetzt. Wie das so ist, wenn man wie erwähnt übermüdet in anderer...

Paul Booth - Inner Child 

Wie nähert man sich einem Phänomen? Diese Frage muß man sich stellen, wenn man sich mit dem Künstler Paul Booth nähert. 

Paul Booth gehört mit Sicherheit zu den bekanntesten und Einfluss reichsten Tattookünstlern auf unserem Planeten. Er reist weit und viel, ist ständig präsent und hat seinen eigenen, den dunklen Paul-Booth-Style. 

Paul weilte nun in Berlin anlässlich einer Ausstellungseröffnung in der Galerie Strychnin im Prenzlberg. Dort stellte er seine Ölgemälde aus. Yasha, Galeristin, hat es geschafft weltexlusiv die neueste Kunst "Inner Child" von Paul nach Berlin zu holen. 

Die kleine Galerie, mit den immer wieder interessanten Künstlern, ist an diesem Nachmittag abgedunkelt, die wände und Decken sind mit rotem Tuch verhüllt, im Hintergrund läuft chillige elektronische Musik und in der Mitte thront Paul und macht ein freundliches Gesicht. 

Es ist seltsam Paul zu sehen, ohne dieses typische sirrende Geräusch der Tattoomaschinen im Hintergrund. 

Der chillige aber dunkle Sound aus den Lautsprechern stellt sich als Musik von Paul heraus: "Inspirational Hymns", eine Doppel-CD, die parallel zu den Bildern entstanden ist und einen engen Bezug zwischen Musik und Gemälden herstellen soll. 

Paul Booth betont bei seiner Tattookunst immer die dunkel Seite des kreativen Geistes. Und so auch bei seinen Bildern in Oel. 

Es fällt auf, dass der Künstler, im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen Tätowieren, in der Lage ist sich von der Dritten, sprich dem menschlichen Körper, auf die zweite Dimension - der Leinwand - umzustellen. Pail Booths Oelgemälde sind keine bloßen Tattoos auf einem anderen Untergrund, sondern stehen für sich alleine. 

Die Einsamkeit des Individuums in einer seltsamen Welt, mit diesem Motto läßt sich Pauls Kunst beschreiben, Kindern, Embryos, Skelette, Maden in fahlen weißen organischen Farben auf blutroten Hintergrund. Paul läßt nichts aus. 

Die Bilder entstehen Nachts, tagsüber wird tätowiert, erzählt Paul, der sich mit seinen Dämonen ständig auseinandersetzt, denn Nachts sind die Dämonen und die Einsamkeit am schlimmsten. Und so sorgt Paul dafür, dass er möglichst nciht alleine ist und malt seine Ängste weg. 

Paul Booth: Inner Child, noch bis zum Wochenende in der Galerie Strychnin

Paul Booth's Inner Child 

Paul Booth, the Dark Lord of Tattooing, will present 10 new oil paintings, a collection called Inner Child, at the Strychnin Gallery in Berlin. Gallery owner, Yasha Schulz-Young, is expecting a crowd on May 19th, opening night, and says the media attention has been overwhelming. 

In an artist statement, Paul reveals the impetus for this series: 

"All of my life, I have strived to face and understand my demons and through the creation of art, I have found a way to come to terms with many of my painful issues. By releasing my feelings into paintings, I am able to confront my problems and slowly free myself from their power. This collection, which I call Inner Child, is a series of paintings that do just that. It has been difficult to immerse myself in these dark places from my past, but displaying these pieces plays an integral part of this exorcism for me." 

Paul will be attending the opening and signing limited edition prints of two of the paintings as well as the show catalog. The first 30 people at the gallery on May 19, from 7pm-10pm, will also receive his CD of industrial and ambient sounds entitled My Ritean Legacy. 

To understand why the artist has actual "minions", pick up the latest edition of Inked or read an older interview in Prick. Paul Booth is also the co-creator of the Art Fusion Experiment.

Styles Report Berlin

Prima di trasferirsi a Berlino nel 2004 e aprire la sua galleria STRYCHNIN , Yasha Young ha vissuto a New York dove ha lavorato come curatrice e giornalista. Con il progetto STRYCHNIN ha voluto creare una vetrina per un'arte dall'estetica di forte impatto in oscillazione tra attrazione e repulsione: cupa, a volte controversa ma sempre "honest and powerful". A due anni di distanza la galleria è diventata un forte punto di riferimento per artisti underground internazionali come Liz McGrath, Viktor Koen, Paul Booth, David Stoupakis, Stephen Kasner, Helen Garber, Chat Zar e molti altri. Fino al 10.05. da STRYCHNIN è presentata una mostra collettiva intitolata TOXIC SHOCK con lavori di Thorsten P, Peemoster e Annie B. A fianco della galleria, lo STRYCHNIN-SHOP con label underground di moda punk, rockabilly, fetisch e gothic.

Zwischen Kiez und Kansas 

Yasha Schulz-Young bringt US-Kunst nach Berlin 
Von Gunnar Luetzow 

Etwas professioneller geht sie seit einem Jahr in Friedrichshain vor, wo sie vor der Eröffnung ihrer eigenen Galerie in der Boxhagener Straße erst mal ein Haus weiter einen Laden etabliert hat. Mit dem es eine besondere Bewandtnis hat: "Mein Laden ist die Kopie unseres Lieblingsladens in New York - der war echter Underground Style und mußte im Rahmen des Giuliani-Dramas zumachen. Aber so einfach wollten wir den nicht aufgeben. Jetzt machen wir ihn eben hier." Im Rahmen ihres Subkulturtransfers stößt sie immer wieder auf erhebliche Unterschiede zwischen Deutschland und den USA. Und die beziehen sich nicht nur auf die Berliner Gruftis, die sich ihre Outfits lieber selber schneidern: "Meine Mission ist es, Begeisterung nach Deutschland zu bringen. Daß man Sachen einfach mal macht und nicht immer erst nach dem Sinn fragt", erklärt Schulz-Young. Da ist er wieder, der berühmte "Can Do"-Spirit, mit dem New Yorker so gerne Berlin aufmischen - und das nicht mal zu Unrecht. Es fragt sich aber, in wie weit ausgerechnet Friedrichshain mit einer weiteren Galerie zu begeistern ist. Schließlich führen im Kiez inzwischen fast alle Wege in Galerien oder ähnliche Orte. 

Doch das entmutigt die junge Galeristin nicht: "Wir bei Strychnin sind eine große Familie und zu uns gehören die besten Underground-Künstler der USA. Dazu haben die Leute, die ich mitbringe, bereits ihre eigenen Fans." Die kommen nicht immer nur aus der Kunstszene: Paul Booth etwa ist als Tätowierer berühmt und präsentiert demnächst zehn Ölgemälde in Barockrahmen. Ebenfalls vormerken kann man sich Kristen Ferrell. Die lebt als Rasta-Hippie und allein erziehende Mutter im gottesfürchtigen Kansas und hat schon daher genug Stoff für ihre abgründig-surreale Malerei auf soliden Baumscheiben. 

Heute präsentiert Yasha Schulz-Young im Rahmen der "Blood" Party im Berliner Sage Club als Vorgeschmack auf ihre nächste Ausstellung die Leipziger Fotografin Annie Bertram, deren Arbeiten im Grenzbereich zwischen Traum und Alptraum angesiedelt sind. Wer übrigens Gastgeberin der "Blood"-Party ist? Dahlia Schweitzer natürlich, Kreuzberger Elektro-Burlesk-Ikone und ebenfalls Exil-New Yorker Weltbürgerin.

Kunst wird immer wieder neu definiert und bringt so erstaunliche Spielarten hervor. Die neueste Strömung nennt sich „LowBrowe”. Diese leicht düstere und sehr unkonventionelle Spielart steckt in Deutschland noch in den Kinderschuhen, ist in Übersee aber bereits eine große Sache. Um eine Brücke zwischen dem Big Apple und Berlin zu schlagen, gründete Yasha Young die Strychnin Gallery, in der sie ein Forum für „LowBrowe”-Künstler geschaffen hat. Derzeit ist die Ausstellung „Nachtschattengewächse” zu bewundern, in der man Bilder sehen kann, die sehr an Comic-Zeichnungen erinnern, allerdings einen ganz eigenen Stil haben. In den kommenden Monaten werden mehrere, in Amerika bereits gefeierte Künstler, Bilder und Skulpturen bei Strychnin zeigen: Paul Booth ein Spitzentättowierer, Zeichner David Stoupakis der ein Korn CD-Cover zu verantworten hat und David Vicente der schon auf dem Cover des Rolling Stone zu finden war. Die Kunst zeigt endlich mal wieder ein bisschen mehr Rock´n´Roll Attitüde!

Das hermetische Café

This article on the Fusion 5 Festival was published in the one and only Indie Mag from Austria. aNACHTSCHATTENGEWÄCHSE 

Sometimes I wonder 
What goes on in your mind, 
Always silent and kind 
Unlike the others 
Fuck the mothers kill the others 
Fuck the others kill the mothers 
I'll put it out of my mind because 
I'm out of my mind with you 
In heaven and hell with you 
(Siouxsie and the Banshees, Nightshift) 

Berlin besuche ich nicht, ohne einen Koffer voll Erinnerung dort zu lassen (oder das letzte Hemd). Am Dienstag gab es die erste Vernissage in den neuen Räumen der Strychnin Galerie. Yasha Young hatte geladen und präsentierte eine illustre Auswahl von Künstlern des Bittersüßen: Elizabeth McGrath, Großmeisterin der bizarren Puppenstube, Misery, subversive Botschafterin der bittermandeligen Melancholie der Ausgestoßenen, Mateo, kalifornischer Trickster der Low-brow Art, Laura Satana, Pop-art Voodoo-Tattooistin, und andere zeigen Variationen des Morbiden, Entrückten, Skurrilen und Grotesken, daß man denkt, man sei im Wohnzimmer von Tim Burton gelandet. 

Die erweiterten Galerieräume in der Boxhagener Str. bieten endlich großzügigen Platz für böse, kleine Kunst. Grause Gemälde und grimme Skulpturen, wohl dem, der sich diese Nacht noch schützend flüchten kann. Absinthverstürzte Gedankenwelten, grimassenschneidende Enfants terribles, schrecklich schröcklich und immer am Herzen reibend, wie eine kalte Hand voll Sandpapier. 

Puppen, nachtmahrige Augensterne und Bilder mit der sanften Melancholie eines vergessenen bunten Balls auf einem verregneten Kinderspielplatz. Man sollte nicht allein dorthin gehen, besser Hand in Hand. Und mit der anderen Hand: Steckt Geld ein. Denn Kunst kann man auch kaufen! 

Nachtschattengewächs noch bis zum 10. März in der Strychnin Galerie, Berlin.
