STUDIO WORK: Mauerstraße Occupation





The Mauerstraße Wall Street Occupation edition:  ‘Mauerstraße’ literally translates to ‘Wall Street’- a Berlin street that converges with Friedrichstraße and Zimmerstraße at what was once Checkpoint Charlie, a crossing point in the Berlin Wall.  The motif, as explained in an earlier post, is also adapted from the Laibach LP “Occupied Europe” featuring a cartographic rendition of a Georg Kolbe sculpture.   The usage of NSK / Laibach Kunst themes is becoming more appropriate (and prophetic?) in light of current Occupation activities worldwide.

STUDIO WORK: MAUERSTRAßE MAPS





Documentation of graphic works in progress printed RE: Occupy Wall Street.  The motif, "Ihr seid
nicht umsonst gefallen" (1914-1918) by Georg Kolbe, is also used in Laibach Kunst works and is most recognizable from the Laibach LP Occupied Europe 1985.

The photographs, taken between silkscreened layers, add an element of cartographic
illusion to Kolbe's stoic warriors:
