A year ago in July 2016, Urban Spree Galerie invited Twoone / Hiroyasu Tsuri for a full 3-week residency in the gallery, a first experiment into using the gallery as a creation and dynamic space rather than a space to hang artworks. The public was welcome to see the creative process and day-to-day progression of the residency. Once the show was complete, it was open to the public for one night and a day and then ended.
Over the course of the residency, Hiro created multiple large format artworks on canvas and plexiglas, a neon installation and 2 large canvases in collaboration with Jun Inoue, in a very energetic live painting session.
In addition to indoor works, Hiro painted the Urban Spree Artist Wall (15 m x 8 m).
Last but not the least, Urban Spree Books released a risographed zine “Berlin 2014-2016“, a collection of portraits sketched in the streets of Berlin during the past two years.
Christiania Krueger filmed the whole performance and we are releasing now his video, divided in 3 parts: indoor artworks, live painting ant mural painting.

In July 2016, Urban Spree Galerie inaugurates a new format: the Urban Spree Art Residency.
Over a period of 3 weeks, Urban Spree invites the Berlin-based Japanese artist Twoone / Hiroyasu Tsuri to transplant his atelier directly in the gallery in order to create a series of site-specific artworks.
The public is welcome to witness the process from the very beginning and is being offered the opportunity to engage with the artist while he’s creating and with the work-in-progress art while he’s absent, a process climaxing into the Opening. The official opening of the show will be a the end of the residency, inverting the codes of an art show.
Outdoor paintings created simultaneously will resonate and echo indoor work as the Residency spills over the boundaries of the gallery to merge into the whole space.
Beginning of the Residency: July 6th Tu-Sa 12:00 – 18:00
Opening of the Show: 23.07 – 19:00
Last Day of the Show: 24.07 – 12:00-19:00

In July 2016, Urban Spree Galerie inaugurates a new format: the Urban Spree Art Residency.
During 3 weeks, Urban Spree invites Twoone (Hiroyasu Tsuri) to transplant his atelier directly in the galerie, in order to create artworks that will be constructed directly in the space, and with the possibility for the public to watch and engage with the artist. With the Residency idea, we wish to be as close as possible to the creation process, open the studio, and develop site-specific installations as all artworks will be necessarily influenced by the space, with a propension to work on larger formats. Outdoor paintings created simultaneously will resonate and echo indoor work as the Residency spills over the boundaries of the gallery to merge into the whole space.
The Berlin-based Japanese artist will create a series of artworks on glass, neon, canvases, and prints. Unplanned collaborations with visiting artists can as well happen, depending on who’s coming to Berlin in the next 3 weeks.
The Art Residency follows an inverted process: the public is welcome to witness the process from the very beginning. We want to foster a dynamic approach, create bridges between the artist and the audience, offer the opportunity to see an exhibition created in situ, step by step, climaxing into the opening. In this process, the opening of the show will happen on the last day of the show.
Beginning of the Residency: July 6th Tu-Sa 12:00 – 18:00
Opening of the Show: July 23rd, 19:00
Last Day of the Show: July 24th, 12:00-19:00
