French crew Da Mental Vaporz will collectively be exhibiting new work together at BC Gallery Berlin. The exhibition “The Wall” references not only a group wall that will be painted together in Berlin, but also the underlining motive for the crew and exhibition. It is not the exhibition that brings these artists together it is the idea and principle of their relationship together through walls and murals. The reference to this is not only made directly but also indirectly through the new work that will be exhibited at BC Gallery. With so many successful artists within the crew it would seem difficult to bring everyone together making schedules work for an exhibition, yet when you talk about a wall artists make time together to create collectively. This is the nature of the graffiti artist who paints first and will always prefer the outdoors versus indoors, BC Gallery has been able to harness that energy and allowed them to exhibit freely without constraints. Make sure you get out to Berlin and witness one of the most influential graffiti crews in the world.

BC GALLERY presents „The Wall“ by Da Mental Vaporz
Berlin, 16th of April: From April 26th to May 31st
The well known French street-art collective “Da Mental Vaporz” will hold an exhibition in Berlin under the title “The Wall” which is to be seen at the two gallery spaces of BC Gallery. Matching the title of the show the crew will also design a large scale mural painting next to the S-Bahn station Warschauerstraße, which is going to complete the show by overlooking the whole area. Through this mural design the spectator
will have to opportunity to discover the core of the matter of what distinguishes the individual members of the crew as an organic unity. As all of them have already created their very own sophisticated styles which work perfectly well independently, what connects the artists does not lie directly in the content or style they create but more in the fact that they find ways to bring all those diverse parts together, in a balanced tension and create something completely new. Their preferred medium for that fusion is mural painting which makes clear that the title of their upcoming exhibition “The Wall” is not just a hint at the vast mural design which will be part of the show, but also displays the deeper meaning of what really holds the artists together.

About the Show
The title of the show “The Wall” explains in one word the most passionate part of most urban contemporary artist today. The public
wall space has been a platform to all different kinds of art forms for decades now. From Harring and Basquiat to Banksy and Kaws, thanks
to diversity and quality the “Graffiti” or “Mural” art form has well established itself in the contemporary art scene. For the DMV big murals are a way to express their collective creativity and have enough room for each artist to bring in his personal style without getting cramped or overloaded.
