dirty works @ 30works - vol. IV

Group exhibition featuring Decycle, EMESS, L.E.T., Marc Peschke, mittenimwald, Various & Gould, and Van Ray

“dirty works @ 30works” is back for its fourth edition. Once again, the Cologne gallery 30works transforms into a playground, an experimental space, a meeting point for the Young Wilds of the art scene. Street art? Pop Art? Fine Art? It’s hard to draw a line these days. This time, we present Decycle, EMESS, L.E.T., Marc Peschke, mittenimwald, Various & Gould, and Van Ray – stars and talents from all over Germany: a wild mix. The exhibition opens on Saturday, January 26, at 8 PM.

Street art is raw. It’s handmade. It plays with signs and codes. Sometimes, it feels like a hostile takeover, creating a space of contradiction. “dirty works vol. IV” offers nothing less than a culture clash, a mix of cultural patterns. The latest pop hybrids, raw and immediate, are on display here. Spectacular images, young art that provokes and excites, challenging the art world, yearning for a different life, resisting the commercialization and gentrification of cities, positioning itself as a counterpoint, a biting commentary on an increasingly standardized environment. This art is diverse, both technically and thematically – but above all, it is: never boring. Street art, Urban Art, and Fine Art. New, fresh images. Now on view in Cologne at “dirty works vol. IV @ 30works.”
