Black Mass

44flavours — Black Mass

Our friend Nomad invited us to take part in his show entitled Black Mass. The list of the artists featured at the show is enormous. We were proud to show our sculpture alongside some of the finest.

“In alchemy black mass is the mass, created by processes of burning and rot, that builds the basis for alchemist processes. Figuratively speaking, the ‘black work’ stands for the mystical history of humanity, for the present time, the black age, the kali-yuga, the time of illusion and confusion. In psychology it stands for the death of the illusionary ego, which gives room to the true self. “It is not about the absolute, but about the necessary deconstructivism serving a higher goal. ‘Through the darkness into the light’, so to say. “Apart from that ‘black mass’ can be associated with occult rituals. “The Berlin nightlife knows all the nuances of the black work: the burning of the ego. The thousand small deaths that make us stronger, more perfect or leave us in ruins.” Black Mass is the first exhibition curated by Nomad. For this occasion he gathered an illustrious bunch of the Berlin avant-garde underground, internationally renown and several handpicked night creatures of the archetypal Berlin elite into a unique gallery with a view on the construction site of the protection of the constitution. Each artist invited has his own story about Berlin nights and the amenities of the dark or the black work itself. From one of the most talked about graffiti bombers, who uses the night as disguise, to birds of paradise and night owls that find their inspiration as DJ’s or photographers in bars and clubs, fashion and jewelry designers, stylists and conceptual artists that reflect the non-color black, and alchemist poet…nothing is impossible during Black Mass.
