Rainer Warzecha - Outdoor projects and art in public spaces in collaboration with friends


Outdoor works / works with friends - there are some art projects in the public eye, mainly based on project ideas for institutions or undertaken as 'volunteerism in art for public places'. As a main topic I have done a lot of murals, wall paintings and legal(!) graffiti. The first works I carried out during the eighties in Berlin were a precursor of my my later successes in doing 'big pictures' - actually a lot of 'earthworks' (sculptures) - mainly huge sculptures made of earth - but also some more huge mural paintings.

In sideline of mural painting and earth sculpting I shared some beautiful works with Robin Cooke, an English artist, familiar with the 'MUTOID WASTE' tribe from London. See one of his big scrap sculptures in Berlin.


Mosaic works, new sculptures and ovens - another batch of my outdoor projects! See it!

Käferman!

What a massive thing. Can you recognize the VW-Beetle in the centre? Well as you can see me in the corner down, I was amazed, when in 1989 - just before the Berlin Wall came down - I found myself in collaboration with the builders of this wonderful giant. The concept was Robin Cooke's and the MUTOID WASTE team. It was meant as a gift to the East and West Berliners and should pass through the wall.
This 'peace and love project' was carried out during a three week camp at Görlitzer Park and without any monetary help, only scrap materials were used.
Visit Robin and the Earthdream Movement now active in Australia!

The sculpture was destroyed in1990 by council authorities.

 

 

my first big mural!

Up to now this remains the biggest wall painting, I have been involved in. It is the famous KUKUCK mural of the early eighties - a well known symbol of the squatters' movement in Berlin. We worked for about 3 months to paint the 2 big spaces and an additional screen.

It was destroyed in 1985 by the new owners. For me a starting point for an 'art-career'!

2004 - another big one in my hometown ...

Also huge - this huge ground painting in Berlins Britzer Garden is unique. Children can walk across a painted globe and learn by means of small images and symbols about culture, the biosphere and basic geography. I did this first in 1995 /98. In 2006 a nice relaunch was possible...
