Klub7 is a collective of German artist from Berlin and Halle (Saale), creating murals, customizations and illustrations since over a decade throughout the world. Together they’ve developed a collective trademark style that combines the diverse backgrounds of the six members (Otto Baum, Mike Okay, Lowskii, Kid Cash, Disko Robot, Dani Daphne): urban art, comics and pop culture on paper, wood, fabric and walls.
KLUB7 was founded in 1998 when some of the members moved to Berlin and opened a studio in Friedrichshain, in 2009 their presence in the urban-art-metropolis was cemented. Clients like BMW, Google, Converse, Edding, New Yorker and Levis are crazy about their ‘Berlin Flavour’; the classic graffiti writing that constitutes the base of the diverse techniques and materials in their portfolio. KLUB7 as an enterprise is not only the livelihood of the six members, but above all an artistic laboratory, wherein everything revolves around doing and experimenting.

Dara Scully is a Spanish photographer creating universes of fantasy. Her series called “your branches/my bones”, “exposed to the ghosts”, “escaping from the wolves”, “bluebird’s heart”, “little dreamers”, or “winter in my bones” are great compositions on polaroid or analogic film where she plays with her body, often naked, the nature, animals with a cinematic style of visual poetry. She is developping a style becoming mature and that I find darker year after year, involving more narrative mystery.
