Berlin
artists' journal: low-tech, high-minded & self-serving. Narcissisms
in word, image, animation. Themes: Journeys into subcultures; making
& _036_presenting art; club culture & electronica. New: Now with
lots of useless time consuming extras!

arty re-fill

n art web site documenting
the Berlin curatorial projects of photographers Lena Szankay and Saba Laudanna has just been published.
Dubbed "Schautankstelle", it documents the
activities of the photography gallery by that name both artists/curators
managed from 1998 to 2001 on the premises of the RAW Temple e.V., an
artist society already active in Berlin Friedrichshain way before it
became a fashionable neighborhood (well, for some, and at some corners
at least).
The gallery was situated in a former gas station, called "Tankstelle"
in German. (Near the "East Art Galllery"; the Berlin-Wall remains along
the Eastern riverside)
In this typical Berlin post-wall underground art setting visitors could
fill up their mind with interesting images and their belly with
alcohol.
The playful Schautankstelle web site is made by the hip Mexican
web design studio (are there any un-hip ones?) Lulaxion. It is very entertaining, like
any good art site should, but so few are.
At the gas station's snack bar, "quick snack art" can be bought on
impulse, and as the web site developes, there's to be a ready supply of
artistic fuel supplied by international artists, like the architectural
plastic sculptor duo Plastique Fantastique,
the brilliant self proclaimed "dump-artist" Daniel Ginelli, documentary
photographer Christian Jungeblodt, or the
fashion/music photographer Dejan Patic, and even us.
