About the Event
Urban Spree invites you to the Berlin Book Release of Dadara's new art book, "HERE FOR THE ART".
The 196-page well crafted monograph revisits the career of the Dutch underground artist from 2018 to 2024.
In this second book, the focus is on developments such as the birth of A.I., guerrilla projects during the Covid-19 period, deeper investigations into the start of NFTs, further digitalization of the world, and much more. Dadara's views on the world are vivid, breathtaking, funny, and fresh.
To celebrate this milestone, long-time friend and art associate Jim Avignon will be present with Dadara at Urban Spree for a live painting performance with 4 hands!

Biography:
Dadara began his artistic career in the early nineties designing flyers and record covers, and doing live-paintings for the then burgeoning electronic dance scene. This early work, as well as projects such as the Dadababy speakers and the Greyman Statue of No Liberty, marked the start of an impressive career as a painter, installation- and performance artist, designer, and cartoonist. Since the turn of the century, his focus has shifted towards extravagant interactive performance-installations in public space. This includes starting his own bank and creating a religion based on social media. Many of these creations were built at the legendary Burning Man event in the Nevada desert. His work is a kind of tweaked mirror which reflects our society, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. Perhaps a black mirror, but one that has a rainbow at the end of the tunnel.
