STRYCHNIN GALLERY - “Do you Nomi?

Res Pira Lab and Strychnin Gallery present an exhibition dedicated to German singer and performer Klaus Nomi.

With his visionary performance art and black and white make-up, countertenor Klaus Nomi was a highly influential New Wave figure. Although he was famous in his lifetime – especially in Paris and New York, where he influenced David Bowie – Nomi died before achieving an international breakthrough. One of the first well-known figures to die of AIDS, he remains a highly influential figure even 25 years after his death.

Curated by Giovanni Cervi for Res Pira Lab, this artistic event is the continuation of a Nomi celebration that started in 2007 with a tribute party held in Parma in April, and an exhibition at Galleria Aus18, Milan, in September of the same year. The project involves some 50 international visual artists and musicians so far; 13 of them will be showing their work in Berlin.

The following artists will be showing their work in the “DO YOU NOMI?” show:

Alexander Sterzel, Ansgar Noeth, Andy, Arianna Carossa, Chris von Steiner, Jan Czerwinski, Japi Honoo, Karin Andersen, Maile Colbert, Squp, Zaelia Bishop and, courtesy of Galleria Aus18, Alessandro Giordani and Tamara Ferioli.

Show runs until: March 3rd, 2008 at Strychnin Gallery Berlin, Boxhagenerstr. 36, 10245 Berlin - http://www.strychnin.com
