arty re-fill


An 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)
 
Schautankstelle

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.
