Berlin Preview Special: Featured Preview Berlin Artist Christopher Kline
TAKE THE STAGE
Artist-musician Christopher Kline’s first exhibition at Preview Berlin Art Fair promises to be
a wild ride with a live performance by the artist opening night!
In contemporary art, the proverbial “artist-musician” character is as much a mainstay as
the “model/actor” stereotype in the entertainment world. However, American artist/musician/performer/businessman/craftsman/songwriter
and all-around bad-ass Christopher
Kline completely shatters the mold proving that art truly is limitless. Lucky for you, he will
be performing at this year‘s Preview Berlin Art Fair at Tempelhof Airport.
A jack-of-all-trades, Kline has never devoted himself solely to visual art, continuously
expanding his repertoire to include music and live performance with styles ranging from
international collaborations to commercial pop acts. Kline‘s work is often characterized by
collaboration such as with artist Sol Calero with whom he also runs the exhibition/project
space Kinderhook & Caracas in Berlin.
The artwork itself incorporates elements of drawings, shrines, paintings, quilts, robes, and
masks which all appear as lyrical installations with his performance and music. The focus
of the visual art is a manipulation of reality and the presentation of objects in connection
with their own secret past lives immersing viewers in an entirely new world of his own
creation.
For the first time ever, the non-profit exhibition space Grimmuseum will be exhibiting a
solo presentation by Christopher Kline at the Preview Berlin Art Fair. Kline will perform
live the night of the opening (Sept. 13th) at 8pm at booth S5 in Hangar 2 of Tempelhof
airport.
