Cecilie Ellefsen is a Norwegian illustrator and
artist currently working at Commando Group in Oslo.
Growing up in rural Norway, she has always been
inspired by nature and animals. ‘In the Forest deep’
communicates the feeling of finding that secret
childhood forest alive with enchanted critters,
hollow trees, traps, treasures and hideaways.
Juliana Pedemonte, Chu aka Julian Pablo Manzelli,
Gaston Caba and Paquerama aka Matias Vigliano are
not only some of the world’s most talented character
designers, all of whom just happen to be Argentinean, they also pursue a meticulous craftsmanship
in the ambitious medium of silk-screen printing.
Mastering the art of subtle colour variations and
playfully detailed outlines, these works combine
arabesque patterns with bold, contemporary character design.
Never be scared. Don’t be a hero. London, Barcelona,
Milano, New York, Buenos Aires, Tokyo - no major
capital city has been left untouched by the iconic
characters of Flying Fortress or The London Police.
These figurative street art pioneers are old hands at
collaboration. So come and watch the infamous Teddy
Troops join the Lads in an abandoned gas station in
Prenzlauer Berg for a spot-the-reference shoot out.

Argentine artist Juan Pablo Cambariere is concerned
about power, corruption, social responsibility and
manipulation, but instead of going into law or politics, he studied art and started making puppets.
His ‘raros objetos’ are an inquiry into the logic of
the marionette, the fundamentals of animation and
the possibility of creating iconic designs through
sculptural processes.
i am 8-bit, the annual Los Angeles computer game aesthetics art extravaganza, comes to Berlin with a
twist. ich bin 8-bit uses standard Post-it Notes to create the ultimate pixelated canvas. It is a show within
a show, featuring an all-enveloping installation by
Jude Buffum, and original doodles by some of the most
prolific character designers in animation and comics
including Emmy-winners Jorge R. Gutierrez and Sandra
Equihua, Gabe Swarr, Jim Mahfood and MyTarPit.
W+K Tokyo Lab is a laboratory for hybrid culture. It
develops new experiences that are specific to contemporary Tokyo, fusing a global mix of music, art,
visuals and other forms of expression with a uniquely
collaborative approach. The exhibition features a
visual remix of recent work with a focus on character
design, along with new artwork from collaborators
both inside and outside of Japan, offering their perspectives on Tokyo and Japanese culture.
Chris Kerr, North America’s tallest living artist,
paints, draws and makes tiny wooden sculptures.
Giselind von Wurmb paints and draws abstract characters, part deformed, part geometric. Mexican
artist Charles Glaubitz creates paintings and drawings in which pop icons are engulfed in archetypical
settings. And The Pathetic Sympathy Seekers create performances and situations aimed at gaining
acceptance or even love - but watch out, they can be
extremely manipulative!

Fons Schiedon ‘Before in place − earlier in time’ (NL)
Ethnologisches Museum Berlin / Permanent Collection
Protey Temen ‘Breakfast Heroes’ (RUS)
TADO ‘The Private Panda Club’ (UK)
Nina Braun ‘Needle Workout and Pumping Iron’ (GER)
Albert Bertolín ‘Like a rat on Strychnine’ (ES)
Gangpol & Mit ‘Gangpol & Mit’s videos and posters’ (FR)
Group Exhibition ‘Hard Left 2’ (USA/GER)
Fons Schiedon presents his second series of paintings in a Berlin premiere. His visual treatment
continues to be inspired by the techniques of animated film, but these new works move further away
from strict figuration. Materialising fragments
of warped memories and detached associations, the
works act as a time capsule recording the process
of painting. In an intuitive mud fight, these are
assembled by over-painting the canvas numerous
times, embracing unforeseen changes and accidents.
The Ethnological Museum in Berlin Dahlem Dorf is
one of the leading museums of its kind worldwide. It
houses a collection of over 500,000 cultural objects
from pre-industrial societies across Africa, Asia,
the Americas, Australia and the South Pacific, as well
as an extensive archive of photographic documentary
material. The museum’s collection of ritualistic masks
should be of particular interest to the Pictoplasma
visitor, not to mention highly inspiring. Entrance is
free with a Pictoplasma conference ticket!
Breakfast consists of three elements: logo, character
and food. A huge army of tigers and alligators, birds
and bears awaits us every morning. But as Moscow-based
artist Protey Temen is all too aware, very soon they
will all be copyrighted for cereal boxes. Taking the
bull by the horns, Protey has developed a new league
of characters, combining abstract elements with a
unique twist. Ladies and gentlemen, please raise your
coffee cups to the Breakfast Heroes portraits installation: the future face of packaging.
The Private Panda Club is an exclusive Pictomembersonly venue where you can get in touch with the animal
inside you. Join the cutest pandas on earth, morphed
by the warped minds of TADO, the ingenious duo from
England, famous for the teeth-rotting sweetness of
their designs. This is saccharine and sex everyone!
Nina Braun has made a name for herself knitting and
sewing in the analogue world. She produces elaborate soft and silky sculptures in wool and fabric
that have taken the plush-doll phenomenon to new
heights. Her drawings form the basis for this work:
characters with simple forms, clear outlines and
tiny eyes that stare out at you. Nina has recently
moved to Berlin and we are greatly honoured to be
able to present her first solo show here.
Albert Bertolín is an illustrator, visual artist and
musician from Barcelona who is currently living a
hermit-like existence in Menorca. His illustrations
and paintings combine zombies and art to create subversive and childish hooligan-stories steeped in
sarcasm. Having provoked a furore at Clubtransmediale 2007 in Berlin, Albert is back with a selection
of painfully dramatic new paintings, toxic as a rat
on strychnine!
Gangpol & Mit combine their graphical/musical talents to create a deviant cartoon world where garish,
geometrical creatures evolve in lysergic environments. To the sound of coconut swing, boogaloo noise
and tango massacre, the Technicolor frenzy of DIY
entertainment gives way to an uncanny dimension. A
dog is run over, there is a technological apocalypse
and terrorist confetti fills the screen.
Founded in Los Angeles in 1997, the Merry Karnowsky
Gallery champions artists who push the boundaries of
formal definition. In 2008, Karnowsky opened a second
gallery in Berlin, featuring artists such as Camille
Rose Garcia, James Marshall aka Dalek, Junko Mizuno,
Mark Ryden, Miss Van, Kill Pixie and many more. This is
a very special show to celebrate one year of Merry Karnowsky Berlin and the Character Walk.

Pictoplasma ‘Characters in Motion’
Parsons / THE New School ‘Ugly is Beautiful’ (USA)
François Chalet ‘The Window’ (cH)
Zsolt Gyarmati ‘DioxinDauer’ (HU)
JOUMI ‘characterrorschachkaleidoscope’ (GER)
Gediminas Šiaulys ‘Pagan Lullaby’ (LT)
Michal Dabrowski ‘Heroes Of Might And Maybe’ (POL)
Eunjung Hwang ‘THE THIRD PART OF GHOSTS’ (KR)
The series ‘Characters in Motion’ puts the style back
into animation. Focusing on cutting-edge character design, Pictoplasma showcases an annual overview
of the most outstanding music visuals and the freshest short films and motion graphics from across the
globe. For the duration of the Character Walk, visitors
can savour the gastronomical delights on offer at the
Collegium Hungaricum restaurant while watching a retrospective of the all-time favourite animations.
The illustrious Illustration Program at Parsons New
School for Design, New York, focuses on visual storytelling, character and toy design. Three of the artists
featured in the main Pictopia exhibition graduated
there: AJ Fosik, Aaron Stewart and Motomichi Nakamura, as did David Horvath (Ugly Dolls) and Peter de
Sève, the character designer of the Ice Age movies.
Parsons presents a selection of fresh work by current
students, along with student work by noted alumni.
Acclaimed for his high-charm reductive geometrics,
François Chalet returns to Berlin with a new friend.
Nosy will be living in the Collegium Hungaricum for
the duration of the Character Walk. Come and visit
him as soon as it gets dark – look through the big window for Nosy antics! François will also be showing a
selection of animations made by his students at Berliner Technische Kunsthochschule.
‘Art should make people conscious of unconscious things
that may remain unconscious even consciously.’ Hungarian artist Zsolt Gyarmati makes paintings that
collage fragments of reality, seemingly devoid of any
organising principle, pieced together like a comic
strip. These are streams of consciousness where digital overload converges with thoughts sprayed from a
can, bound together with rope.
Joumi invite you to participate in a visual research
project into the emergence of figuration from fluidity. Rorschachcharactoscope - use your senses and
your feet to create a character with its own sound.
Shape and sound converge. Manipulate sight with
your ears and alter sound with your eyes. And browse
the extensive archive of earlier experiments.
Gediminas Šiaulys works as an illustrator and
designer in Lithuania and is inspired by nature,
fairy tales, folk art and the pale colours of his
Soviet childhood. In this exhibition, he takes us
on a journey back in time, to the pre-Christian era,
which thrived much longer in Lithuania than anywhere else in Europe. ‘Pagan Lullaby’ is a tribute to
the pagan gods in those magical days when forests,
animals and bees were holy.
Michal Dabrowski pities Superman because he always
has to play the tough guy, but at the same time he
envies him a little because he probably never had bad
skin. He thinks Dr Doom might like Joy Division. He
thinks superheroes used to be gods but grew up into
humans. His installation, developed especially for
the Character Walk, takes a humorous looks at our
weaker selves.
Korean artist Eunjung Hwang creates animations
that explore the sub-conscious in thousands of tiny
snippets connected by dream logic. Relentlessly
kaleidoscopic, they look like a hand-drawn version
of what might go through the mind of a computer before
its hard-drive implodes. For this show, she will present her animation together with a collection of her
characters in the form of giant silky balloons.

Christian Montenegro ‘7 deadly sins’ (ARG)
Paloma, Impeduglia ‘Schöne neue Welt’ (USA/FR)
MYMO ‘I just did this yesterday’ (GER)
Danny Gretscher ‘tell me what you saw’ (GER)
JUAN SALAS ‘Arturo’s Transmutation’ (VE)
Christian Montenegro’s images may look like expressionist woodblock prints but they are actually
sumptuous pieces of digital sophistication. The
first solo show of the Argentine artist in Germany
features 7 evil characters, 7 faces destroyed by
vice and depravity, 7 paths best avoided, 7 tips for
becoming a better human being, 7 moments for wondering what you are doing with your life, 7 lessons for
saving your soul and, of course 7 deadly sins.
The Bongout Gallery set minds boggling in Berlin
early last year, with its programme of punch-packing underground art. Their current show presents the
wild’n’wacky handmade books by Kottie Paloma, oil
paintings by Laurent Impeduglia and animation films
by Stéphane Blanquet, Yann Jouette, Wojtek Skowron
and Sabrina Tibourtine – all haunted by lonesome figures, unusual meetings and bizarre occurrences.
Mymonsters love rainbows with white icing. Instead
of hiding her characters under the bed like bad
dreams, MYMO draws them out of the parallel universe
of her head and has them communicate with the world.
Mymonsters is a multimedia platform for a constantly
developing art project, inspired by nothing less
than life itself. MYMO’s Mymonsters are graffiti,
collages and installations and they feel at home in
all sorts of places between Berlin and Barcelona.
Danny Gretscher is a man of many faces. His inspiration comes from the street, where he also finds all
the materials for his work. For the Character Walk he
will be creating a complex room-filling installation, complete with a vast wall drawing, clay heads
and hundreds of smaller sketches and collages. It is
an exploration of urban structures, brought to life
by his ever-questioning attitude and sharp eye for
life’s absurdities.
Who says eating chips makes you into a couch potato?
Juan Salas munched his way through 100 bags of his
local brand of potato chips Arturo with their distinctive chicken-head logo of three red hearts and a
dot. He then began a series of beautiful and increasingly intricate character drawings directly onto
the paper bags, each incorporating the logo differently. He will show the drawings in a grid formation,
revealing the process of transmutation within
strictly imposed limits.

Pictopia opens its gates – and starts with a big bang!
Stroll down the lanes of Character Kingdom to the
heart of Pictopia, go crazy in the Fun House by FriendsWithYou and hop back on the Character Ride. After
reliving the all-time best of 'Characters in Motion'
on the big screen, dance the night away with a live
performance by Candie Hank and DJ Mobiletti Giradischi. But be warned: the creatures awake and await
you at the central market for truly character-driven
bumper car combat.
As the opening event to Pictopia – Festival
of New Character Worlds and the 3rd
Pictoplasma Conference at the Haus der
Kulturen der Welt, the Character Walk
guides you through more than 30 galleries,
project spaces and institutions in the
centre of Berlin. Join us for exhibitions,
installations and performances by some
of the world’s most outstanding and
promising artists working with reduced
figuration.

After two days of non-stop gallery hopping, it's time
for a first Character Walk welcome party and a last
deep breath before we all dive into the foreign waters
of Pictopia. You are still on safe terrain, so take the
elevator to the 12th floor and join us for a supreme
panoramic view of Berlin at the Weekend Club. Here,
the stars come out as the night kicks off with live
sets by Guillaume & the Coutu Dumonts and Crackhaus
from Canada.
