T-Shirt Designs Sweet As A Fresh Strawberry
by Johannes Keil posted on September 16, 2009On Thursday night, Berlin’s brand new West Berlin Gallery on the Wedding end of Brunnnenstrasse hosted the vernissage to laFraise’s “15K Contest”. The best works submitted for Europe’s biggest online contest for t-shirt design will be on show for about a month from now.
On its second outing the contest, initiated by the French online creative platform in 2008, drew the attention of more than 4,000 creatives from all around the world. Eagerly awaited and well received by the arty crowd, the really well composed selection of works, animated debates between art lovers and tasty drinks made this event well worthwhile. The fuss only slowly faded when finally the hosts ran out of booze sometime around midnight.
Alongside the winning design, submitted by Strasbourg-based Amandine Piu aka Piu-Piu (she can be looking forward to a € 15,000 money price and marketing of her design via the laFraise online shop), the designs of all other eleven finalists and 38 more selected works were publicly presented for the first time.
The works of art can be viewed until 10 October 2009. West Berlin Gallery is located on Brunnenstrasse 56, just outside Voltastrasse tube station.
Alternatively, just visit the laFraise homepage to view all works considered by the jury.
