Hellen Jo working on her pieces “So Now What” and …

… “Wir Reisen Zusammen” for the exhibition.

Some from the opening.

At Rotopol American artist Hellen Jo will present her current and latest work in her first solo-show. We’re especially happy about the fact that she will come directly from L.A. to be present at the opening.

The American artist of Korean descent grew up in Burbank, California. Now she’s living in L.A. and is working as an animator for Cartoon Network as well as a freelance comic artist and illustrator. Her clients are among others Vice Magazine and Poketo.

Her debut comic book „Jin & Jam“ has been published by Sparkplugbooks in 2008. In the past years Hellen Jo was part of two Rotopol group shows (Secret Service and Super Villain).

Show opening on:
Friday, July 13, 2012 at 9.00 pm

WHTPP (What Happened To Pajama Parties?) That is not a legitimate but nearly necessary question. But luckily IcyG and KaySee followed it up. They follow their autobiographical traces in TV-history, from The Wire to Spongebob.

If You Don’t Like The Weather Wait Five Minutes! It’s all very well to say if you stay in cosy Aspen: between rich and beautiful people, motherly waitresses and a wide variety of padded animals. So one easily feels to stay inside, while checking the latest frog leather boots collection.

They were looking for it. All of them. Pizarro and Orellana, Klaus Kinski and Harrison Ford, Neil Young and Iron Maiden. They were looking for ELDORADO!

I was so ill, I was so wild,
but all I want is something else,
I want a wife, I want a child.

Kiin. has been there and they show us the way to the land of promises where our deepest whishes and desires come true. The journey is no bed of roses though. To reach the holy gates of Bling you need a splendiferous stallion, a cup of lepid Muckefuck (ersatz coffee) and to take part in at least one mediocre poetry slam. Godspeed!
