MondoGomma Picture Show BERLIN 2008

BERLIN, Pool Gallery, Tucholskystrasse 26.6 – 7.7.2008

Featuring works by The SMALPAZE aka Borsche und Kartsolis and special guest MISHA HOLLENBACH from P.A.M.

Berlin’s POOL Gallery invited us to do a MONDOGOMMA exhibition in summer 2008. The POOL guys are specialized in these new things in new alternative art. Recently they did ARKITIP, MIKE MILLS and that kind of stuff. So it was nice to have this opportunity. Our illustrators SMAL and PAZE did a lot of obscure hight level enlightment shit. Big size prints, small size visual gimmicks. And we had a special guest illustrator: MISHA HOLLENBACH from P.A.M. from Melbourne contributed some big posters , too. We did a nice Vernissage there and afterward a big GOMMA Party at Cookies with MUNK, Telonius, Kaos…Yeah!

And yes: We released a new Amore Poster Magazine along the exhibition. (Including the P.A.M. stuff)
