Gonzalo Borondo ๐ช๐ฆ Spanish Glass Artist โข Street Art, by phischa on Jun 22, 2016 7:15:00 GMT 1, Borondo did a mural in Berlin which I think looks impressive.However, the residents of the building are shocked by the theme and don't want to have it. I couldn't find an English article about the pushback but the common sense is repulsive, shocking, not child-friendly... I can understand them though, what do you think?

The mural looks great. I agree that it's a bit moody dull colors and maybe could have done with brighter colors. Or is it because it depicts a Christian martyr and politically correct German thought police are told to feel guilty about being Christians?

opinions are varying: some residensts declare it's artistically interesting, but in the wrong place: a young girl standing in a puddle of blood and a person killed by arrows. it's opposite of a children daycare centre (kindergarten) and a refugee shelter that is currently being built. plus, the house next door is known as a suicide house in berlin...
others critisize the dark/depressing nature of the mural and want the mural to be overpainted asap.
people wish that the motive should have been discussed and agreed on with the local community beforehand...

The size, the colour, the arrangement. But for me, the message and dark/depressing nature of the mural doenst't fit to an apartment house with families. It's misplaced

Gonzalo Borondo ๐ช๐ฆ Spanish Glass Artist โข Street Art, by Reader on Jun 22, 2016 11:07:37 GMT 1, An interesting challenge for Urban Nation, the organisers and community. This is a real problem for "mural" culture, when it attempts to use the same difficult themes as "fine art", instead of the often insipid large multi-coloured decorative pieces, it hits a wall. I think Etam Cru found a really good balance between the two. The Borondo is one of the finest large scale pieces of mural art I've ever seen, and knowing him, he no doubt considered the relationship between the site and it's history, but for sure when something is this controversial, then the community should be consulted.

I would like to clarify somehow the questions and concerns raised around the artwork I realized in Tegel, Berlin, invited by Urban Nation.
Before approaching a surface it is important for me to try and understand the environment where my artwork will be placed, to feel the energy of the space which is welcoming me, to learn the history, the community and the ongoing problematics.I work with the space and with the specific site I'm in, and in this case I was in an area where the construction for housing complexes for refugees will take place.
To create my works I use a palette which is inspired by the colors of nature, of the surrounding and of the facade itself, theses are not bright because I don't like to be invasive but to respectfully integrate my work in the landscape. I think that during cloudy days a bright colored palette would looks very sad (imagine a playground in a rainy day), that's why for this intervention, considering the typical weather conditions in Berlin, I used a sort of "grey" scale. Then I added red, which is a beautiful color very important in my production, which perfectly matches with the rest of the composition.
I work in the public space and there's always a risk hidden in the process of working outdoors, so in my opinion the artist has the responsibility to never forget that his work is going to be for everyone walking in the streets, if he wants to express himself in the public space. But in any case the artist gives his message, his aesthetic and imagery. If I would ask to the community what they would like to see on a building of the neighborhood I would probably get many requests such as "rainbow", "cats", "sunset", "flowers" but in this way the facades will be almost like a TV screen, entertainment and not culture. The risk hidden in this thinking is that in a couple of years we will loose the difference between advertising and mural art. The main contradiction here is that so many people complain about a mural considered too deep or too reflective but such few people complain about huge billboard positioned in front of their door.
The artist has the responsibility to struggle every time with the facade to offer a message and open a dialogue, but this doesn't mean that the message has to be universal, immediate or easy to get. Also the process is way more complicated than that and needs to be the result of a real and deep relation build with the community not only by the artist, but prior by the cultural players working in the area.
I want to offer poetic, not politics neither polemic messages. I desire to suggest thoughts and feelings through an image, that's what I do.
I don't suggest happiness with bright colors, I make art and not decoration. Unfortunately this mural hasn't not yet been fully understood by the community which lives there. I truly hope they just need time to reflect on it and to realize that through the message in it they can get other shades of life, not only the bright, and appreciate the piece.
In any case, even if maybe not necessary, I feel that I want to explain the concept for this work - which usually I never explain - because the theme in which it has been approached is important to me.
Usually I don't impose on anyone with the definition or meaning. The reason for this is :
If I explain the work my meaning seems to suggest that there is only one interpretation that is right and all others would be wrong. But sometimes the viewer's interpretations are more interesting and completely different from the ones I had and I don't want to close this discourse or exchange.
For me it is a poem composed by images and colors instead of words. I believe that in an art piece it is important to get not an immediate reaction but to promote critical thinking, a research of meanings and different levels of communication.
In this case I wanted to flow on the surface using different image and references to create a sort of big collage realized directly on the 14th floors high wall.
The wall is divided in two side with a gap of windows in the centre so I used this gap to represent a wall that creates a double dimension. On the left side there's a figure looking through a hole, while the right side depicts St. Sebastian inspired by renaissance paintings inserted in a snow forest with a cloud accumulation on top. The "wall" represents a division, a frontier and in this case creates a distance: outside the drama and inside an empty room with a small hole from which one can see the reality. A reality that we may pretend to not see but we need to be curios - as the child depicted here - to know and understand.
The gap is contemporary Europe, which seems to keeps our children safe and far from what's going on in countries very close to our home. Often this way creating fears and closing doors to problems that are a direct consequence of our economic politics.
It seems superficial that there should be a controversy about a wall that since it contains red as merely a color it is suggested this speaks about blood, while so many people next door are suffering a brutal reality.
Let's open our minds and stop looking at the drama through our save screens.
WELCOME REFUGEES.

It seems the locals just would have prefered something bright and jolly as opposed to some muddy east Berlinish image that looks like it would be suitable in a Victorian book or a Spanish church.
Something bright depicting blue skies lifts the spirit on grey drab days whereas a martyr being arrowed to death is OK in a church or other cult or museum even.
It's just muralling walls in reality.
Blue Skies and Spitfires and lots of ack ack ack would be perfect.

BORONDO โข CANEMORTO โข RUN โข SERVADIO
Colera_ Group Show
On 25 March 2017, Galleria Varsi presents โColeraโ, an exhibition of monotypes created by Borondo, Run, Servadio and the Canemorto trio.
โColeraโ derives from a spontaneous project started in 2015 when the six artists accidentally met in London and started getting together in Servadioโs workshop. What united them in the Hackney Wick spaces were artistic affinity and a printing press, plus the shared will to investigate the possibilities of monotype.
From the greek monos โoneโ and typos โimpressionโ, monotype is a hybrid medium; the boundary between painting and printing that results in each work carries its โghostsโ and a matrix which is inexorably destined to disappear.
A monotype is achieved by the pressure of a plate (initially metal and later wood, glass and plexiglas) painted in ink or oil paint on paper. The image, first designed reversed, is created by using paint brushes, drills, rollers and unusual original instruments. It is an intellectual and sensory art form whose regulative principles admit the freedom of different media and the full artistic expression of those who work on it.
The outcome of Borondo, Canemorto, Run and Servadioโs London experience was an enormous amount of unpublished monotypes and the will to pursue what was accomplished to generate a new production of works. The title chosen for the exhibition reveals the atmosphere of the printing sessions: โThose days my workshop looked like it was snowing sheets,โ says Servadio. Floor and bodies were tinged with murky matter, ink was everywhere. Printing was nonstop, intentions were born and died on paper in an attempt to discover formal solutions that could satisfy the artists there and stimulate other endless printing series.
The six artists are meeting together again at the same time and in the same place. Their thoughts and expressions will merge to create new instances. It will snow again.
At Galleria Varsi they will be working closely together for two weeks, generating over two hundred monotypes that will be deposited on the walls, like a second skin.
โColeraโ is a black project, dense and dirty, immediate and stubborn, insistent and obsessive, intrusive and viral. It has an urgency of its own: that of generating and continuing to occupy space, and of contaminating it with intentions and actions to be shared and felt.
