Summer is here, and we've put a great collection of works by heliumcowboy artists up on our walls to sweeten this time even more. The show is called "Ein Sommer mit alten Freunden" (A Summer with old friends"), because we exhibit a selection of works that were created between 2006 and 2012 from our resident artists that we will never get tired of showing.

Featuring:
56K | ADAMEVA | NINA BRAUN | BORIS HOPPEK | JON BURGERMAN | VICTOR CASTILLO | ALEX DIAMOND | JO FISCHER | CASEY McKEE | MOKI

In case you are interested in purchasing any of the works, please contact us by mail or via facebook. A pricelist can be downloaded here.

The show is over ... but big things coming up.

(click image to view photos from the exhibition)Our fantastic exhibition with artist duo ADAMEVA is over. Since April 7, we've been living in 60ies-meets-80ies-meets-pop-art-of-today frenzy here on the Ranch. heliumcowboy loves ADAMEVA, and we're all so happy that you've grazed this place with your wonderful art. 

After removing miles and miles of Gaffa-tape from the walls and getting them back to gallery standards (erm ... white), next week we'll set up an in-between group show for the duration of summer. It's going to be a blend of works from our resident artists like Nina Braun, Jo Fischer, Alex Diamond, Jon Burgerman - and we also continue to show some paintings by ADAMEVA. More info soon.

End of August/early September we'll have very special guests here from New York: Lori Zimmer will be curating a spectacular group exhibition, set up in an evenly spectacular environment (build by Ryan Brennan) inside our gallery. The show opens September 1st, and we'll let you know more about all this shortly.

On October 6, Feinkunst Krüger, Das Magazin (run by der artlawyer) and heliumcowboy will kick off the 2nd gallery walk within the borders of Hamburg-Neustadt. This time, we'll have a few other art places on the route as well ...

At heliumcowboy, we'll celebrate this event by inviting a big line-up of international artists to our city, joined by some of our regulars. They will create a very intense gallery experience for our guests that night, just through the intensity of their work. All the different angles and styles we'll combine in this exhibition will present an amazing showcase, giving a great insight into an established contemporary art scene of today that still has the sweet taste of underground between its fangs. 

Funny blog post, teasing you with amazing shows - without any artist names. We are still in the process of outlining the final details for the exhibitions in September and October, so we will keep quiet a short while longer. No worries, it'll be worth the wait.
