Ten artists going to Berlin to make street art? You had me at hello. The Antagonist Art Movement, an artist collective that was started in New York City in 1988, has recently released a DIY adventure film about their raucous trip to Berlin.
As Flavorpill notes,
Berlin looks like a creative paradise. Whether turning abandoned apartment blocks into installation pieces or kicking it with likeminded hosts over dinner, the group uses the city as a perfect backdrop to break out of comfort zones and reflect.
That’s it - we’re all moving to Berlin!
You can buy the DVD here.

We dropped in on Deborah and Vincent of Avant Gaudy at Blend in Wicker Park, where they chatted about their high-fashion-meets-DIY aesthetic, the need for innovation in personal style, and the fact that people can dress well at any budget.
