MAP Website
Cell63 artgallery is the new fresh art space in Berlin born in October 2009. The project is out from an idea of Luisa Catucci, who has chosen Berlin not only as her residence, but also as spot for her art purposes. She now owns and direct the Cell63 artgallery, with the assistance of Igor Falcomata.. Spacing from figurative art to illustration, from deviant art to stuckism, with special touch of dark humor, Cell63 is an art gallery promoting exciting and imaginative Emerging Talents of the international art circuit. Cell63 is not only an art gallery, but a meeting point for multifaceted artists who can find here a place where they can trust their artistic imagination. The space works also as a platform for international performers artists, from dance to bodyart, from experimental music to acting, being always a performance presented during the exhibitions' openings. The exhibitions rotate approximately every eight weeks. A selection of works by the gallery's favorite artists is available at all times. Original artworks and limited edition prints can be purchased in person and online. Curiosity: the Gallery takes its name from not-so-obvious sources: the number 63, in Italian popular numerology's tradition, is the number which protects artists and dreamers, plus "Cell63" is a quotation of the underground movie by Richard Elfmann, Forbidden Zone: "just to let you know, Cell63 is where the King of Sixth Dimension keeps his favourite concubines:.

Michele Guidarini : Art is dead
What Michele Guidarini has in his mind, as inspiring vision, are the frescos by Giotto and Michelangelo, which are the painters from his land which he knows better and loves most. Together with graphic design, commercials and memories. All this pops out in Michele's head, in a constant shifting process. So his images, at birth, are already moving, and his sign moves over them. The images in the background are treated and conceived as a background, a scenery, and so strongly assaulted head-on. Screaming and consumed close-ups, grafitis that sign and recreate a new personal sacredness, desecrating the original iconified one. There's no intention on reassuring the observer. Michele Guidarini doesn't draw for who's watching. The artwork is his and he feel free to kill it. This is Art Is Dead: crushing and nemesis.
Rebirth of an imperfect and consumed iconography. Artistic gesture creator of shapes desecrating an aritficial sacrality, bringing historical images into the state of being contemporary by virtue of his modern and aggresive sign, as a daily tattoo.
Paola Verde: La Cité des enfants perdus
Paola Verde born in Milan, Italy, in the same year of punk music and grew up among Joy division's and Bauhaus's vinyls records and Dave McKean's comic books.
Then industrial music was for her like the sound of a crashed window in the silence of an abandoned factory, fascinating her. Like that the city-borders became the center of her personal research, from street art to dismessed industries, from underground culture to the metamorphose of metropolis.
Crossing urban peripheries looking for details of the past, collecting pictures of marginal spaces and explorating the borders of post human passages and revisiting them in a surrealistic and romantic key, Paola Verde's photos represent the place where urban decay and neverland are meeting. Her very own Citè des enfants perdus.
