After the tremendous success in 2003, the Live Issue wants to create a setting in Berlin to present current developments and interdisciplinary interfaces of street art, aerosol culture and hiphop for the second time.
This time the exhibition does not only take place in the rooms of „Künstlerhaus Bethanien“, but there are many events, workshops, facades and graffiti arts distributed all over Berlin from august till october 2005.
The exhibition of Jay&Skii explores the roots of hiphop culture – music, dancing and graffiti arts in one space.
In the center of their art work is a circle of shoes, which are energized by a carpet of coffee, should represent a breakdance battle. The coffee stands for desert sand, in which the fossils of hiphop (=sneakers and ghetto blaster) are embedded.
