YAP updated their business hours.

18/01/2022

A new year has started! Its is one of the most challenging years YAP is facing since its formation. But for the first time in history of this company, it has not only an amazing crew but also a skillset and the technology to realize a Museum show in 5 1/2 month while having several events, exhibition openings and art productions parallel to it.

All who pray with us now should know that the necessary measures to make this actually possible have already been taken. The strive of the YAPies for perfection and knowledge. Every step forward in technology and science, every bold reaching for the stars, all of our technical achievements and forward-looking ideas, even the wars we have fought, have brought us to the point where we can win this battle. Above all the chaos that makes up our history, over all wars and injustices, there was something that has comforted us again and again and made let us grow beyond ourselves. And that is our courage.

The thoughts of all our clients are focused on these 10 brave souls who embark on a hard journey into this great adventure. Let us always support each other and have a successful 2022!

While the rest of our beautiful crew is working crazily hard on the program for @urbannation_berlin for 2022 our boss Dennis and senior project manager @kollekind are spending some days in Ibiza to meet the people behind the @bloopfestival and talk about possible collaborations. What we can already say is: Ibiza is much nicer in December than Berlin 😂 and it’s four cities have amazing Murals from artists all around the world, which we show you some in our story.

The year is almost over and it is time to look back and remember some of those really good moments with the people who we really have taken to our heart.

One of them is Lady Aiko (@ladyaiko_nyc ). In September we supported her to paint the huge facade of the @urbannation_berlin Museum. We loved to work with her, because even if some days were getting mental, because weather started to become very nasty, Aiko stayed in her meditative and calm mood and continued to work, as if she would be in her little own cosmos. During these two weeks of production we enjoyed many good moments and were talking about the early days, when the entire world started to get crazy about Streetart, because during these years she was working with some of the artists who many people consider the most popular Streetart artists nowadays. However she always kept her feet on the ground and stayed true to herself while she developed her own iconic style, which she is bringing to cities all around the world.

We want to thank you for this unforgettable time with you and hope to see and work with you soon again.

We love you Aiko 😘
Sincerely your YAP-Crew

The photo was taken by the good friend of Aiko @nikakramer in front of the world‘s first Urban NFT Museum @gameoverberlin which was about to open a couple days later.

Last year we worked intensively on the biggest retrospective about the famous photographer Martha Cooper, which is currently exhibited in @urbannation_berlin Museum.

Together with the curator @bkstreetart , exhibition designer @studiotk_berlin and @reinaldoverde, photographer and big friend of Martha @nikakramer , former director of UN-Museum @jan_sauerwald and his project manager @chrissi_cp and many many more we produced a remarkable show which was opened without a Big Bang and the presence of @marthacoopergram and @bkstreetart due to the Covid Pandemic.

Now after an entire year the time has come that they are able to come over to berlin, see the exhibition themselves and celebrate with us!

Therefor we are super excited that @urbannation_berlin and @blackstreets_magazine teamed up and are going to show the amazing film about Martha’s Life and work. This was a good reason for us to invite as many friends of Martha and BSA as possible to have a huge reunion at the film premiere at the @babylonberlin this Thursday.

We are Really looking forward to see you all together!!!

LET‘S PLAY!
This is what we call a "YES...Place"! 

Surrounded by high concrete slabs buildings ("Plattenbauten" in German), there used to be an old dirty basketball court which definitely needed a make over. That’s why @urbannation_berlin invited the wonderful @katrien_vanderlinden from Belgium, who has not only painted other basketball courts before, but works together with kids on such projects as part of her concept. The kids helped Katrien to transform the basketball court into a better place, a "YES... Place!”: a spot where to feel inspired, positive, and energized (as you can see from the excitement on the kids´ faces by swiping the pics). 

We couldn´t be more happy (and also a bit proud) to support Katrien and URBAN NATION in this project.

…and of course we have to confess… we giggle like Kids to finally have produced a basketball court as well. Because there are already many more of these awesome urban sport spots out there!

Last weekend the opening of the basketball court was celebrated and even @albaberlin came around to check out this amazing new court.

We are beyond thrilled to be able to announce the Opening of the exhibition „The Versus Project“ curated by the wonderful artist duo @layer_cake_artistduo and presented by @urbannation_berlin

Curated by Munich-based graffiti artist veterans @stylefighting (Patrick Hartl) and @c100art (Christian “C100” Hundertmark) of @layer_cake_artistduo, “The Versus Project” will feature a fascinating body of work created collaboratively by the two curators and the artists.⁠
⁠
Both parts were assigned the task of completing each other's pieces, resulting in an organic mixture of different styles and techniques that are yet connected by the constant dialogue and artistic cooperation between the Layer Cake duo and such artists as:⁠

Massive New Mural in Town
„Relove the Preloved“
-
Last month we had the pleasure to spend two weeks with the wonderful @vikunia_illustration at @kitkatclub.official . Together with @urbannation_berlin we supported her with her Mural for @backmarket_de .
We must confess that this has been one of our craziest production sides. Not because of the well known location (Sage/KiKat Club), but because of the traffic, which is there just insane. Therefore we decided to work also in the evenings and nights. Another challenge was the sidewalk on which we were driving the scissor lift. It was so narrow and uneven, that we had a hard time with leveling the lift with the floor protection plates.
But all these tricky circumstances did not stop us to finish this beauty before the given deadline. 🙌
But honestly... This project was only possible, because everyone in this project was pushing in the same direction. Always with respect, fun and a sweet portion of craziness 😄.
With the mural @backmarket_de is promoting their online store, where you can buy refurbished electronic devices.
Thank you @pavillon_noir for your trust in our experience in mural productions.
And also big thanks to the whole crew from KitKat/Sage Club. Especially to @garde_robe_rt

All beautiful photos (except for the second one) taken by the one and only @nikakramer 👌🏻

In collaboration with the @urbannation_berlin we helped @vikunia_illustration to cover the entire KitKat-Club in Berlin with a huge mural. The idea is to create awareness for the brand @backmarket_de - a company where you can buy refurbished electronic devices. Stay tuned for more photos and videos of the production.
Big thanks to @pavillon_noir and @kitkatclub.official for the wonderful and professional teamwork, which made the dream work! 🤜💥🤛

How a street artist paints MASSIVE murals! (feat. RONE)

...und wo wir schon über den Künstler Rone sprechen. In diesem schönen Video gibt er noch mehr Einblicke in seine Arbeitsweise. Falls ihr noch weitere Fragen zu dem Entstehungsprozess solcher #Murals habt, könnt ihr uns gern diese in den Kommentaren hinterlassen. Oder vielleicht habt ihr ja auch Lust, einmal bei einer Fassadengestaltung dem Künstler über die Schulter zu sehen?!

LIKE - SUBSCRIBE - ENJOYIn 2020 had the opportunity to document the artist RONE paint a mural in Melbourne, Australia. Check out the video to get some insigh...

Rone hat‘s in einem kurzen Video einmal zusammengefasst. Es gibt verschiedene Techniken, um Übergrosse Kunstwerke auf Hausfassaden zu malen, but in the end... it’s all about the reference points.

Müll raus. Ideen rein. Wir freuen uns darauf, wenn hier bald wieder mehr passieren kann.

Brave Wall: Kunst für Frauenrechtler_innen!

From 22nd February to 2nd March we produced the Brave Wall Mural presented by URBAN NATION Museum in cooperation with Amnesty International Deutschland in Berlin. Amnesty has already produced more than 20 Brave Walls with the local street art communities around the globe. With these walls, they want to set a memorial for all human rights defenders.

On the occasion of International Women's Day on 8th March the Berlin-based artist Katerina Voronina was invited to create a Brave Wall on the topic of Women's rights and human rights defenders. With this mural, Kate wants to memorialize Brazilian councilwoman and human rights defender Marielle Franco, who was shot dead in her car by unknown persons in 2018. Marielle Franco worked tirelessly for the rights of q***r and gay people, as well as young black people and women. She criticized the use of the military in the streets of Rio de Janeiro and denounced unlawful killings by the police and military.

With lots of sun, we had such a great time working with Kate and Emily Eldridge who helped on this amazing wall. You two just rocked it. The new wall is beautiful and well done!

Thanks also to BOVAH GmbH again for a smooth production.

Check out the Mural at Gitschiner Str. 64, Berlin-Kreuzberg. One more beautiful piece of art in the city of Berlin.
