This is a picture of last summer as I was getting ready before selling my prints at markets ! The best thing about those days were that I could discuss directly with my clients and get the feedbacks directly from the public!! Let’s hope I can do it this year too cause the good days are back 🌞

A little interview for Stattlab e.V.. That's where I produce my screen prints ! and it's also an inspiring collective of artists!

Check out our new "MEMBER OF THE WEEK" post. This week's STATTLAB Artist is: Blackout Cities

Who are you?

I am Blackout Cities, my other alias is Marie Benaboud. I am a visual artist based in Berlin.

What are you working on?

I draw illustrations of urban sceneries based on photographs. I mainly produce screenprints based on my drawings, but I also paint murals.

How did you came to Stattlab?

I started my drawings 5 years ago, and I was looking for a place to produce screenprints of them. I remember coming to the lab for a visit, next thing I know I was a member!

Why do you think it is important to work in a collective?

I think it is important to share skills and also feel like you can trust the people that are sharing your workplace. When you work in a collective, you start making these bonds that you rarely find in a regular shared facility for screenprinting. This trust can bring a lot of inspiration and generate new ideas for your projects, not only in a technical point of view but also in a conceptual one.

Throwback to April when I drew Pallasseum building live on Arte at @burgschnabel ! 6 months later, the clubs are unfortunately still closed. If you ever watch live streams on @unitedwestream , don’t forget to make a donation to support the club scene during the endless Covid period.

I found in my drawers some old sketches back when Blackout Cities started in 2016. The idea behind the small sketches is to test the composition and the black and white balance before starting the large detailed drawings. Back then I was not interested in Berlin’s central station (first picture) , but now that I look closely, I think it would be worth giving it a go. 💪🏼

03/08/2020

Now on our online shop! Screenprint of the famous brutalist building Spitteleck in Berlin (Mitte). This complex was built between 1980 and 1985 under the direction of the architect Eckart Schmidt. In 1986 it was awarded the architecture price of the Capital Berlin during ex-GDR. It is now famous for carrying a big neon “Coca-Cola” sign on top of it.

25/07/2020

Sharing some of my “work in progress” drawings that I published over the past few weeks on my insta stories! For those who missed it, it’s time to catch up. I can’t wait to share the final results, and tell you about my future projects :)

13/07/2020

If you are wandering in Prenzlauer Berg, make sure you visit @supalifekiosk. You’ll find our latest prints and many more from different local artists. :)
