Nik Nowak: Double Back / White Trash Contemporary

Nik Nowak: Double Back at White Trash Contemporary
“Nik Nowak rocks: This young German artist with a MD in Fine Arts from Berlin University UdK, who studied with Prof. Lothar Baumgarten, creates dialogues between painting and music, drawing and object. His sculptures are high tech hermaphrodites: toy tanks posing as mobile boom boxes and sound machines on motorcycle wheels are producing robust beats, but can also function as seductive propaganda tools – all depending on the very intention of its users.” Nik Nowak (born 1981 in Mainz, Germany) studied Fine Arts at Universität der Künste (UdK) in Berlin, he lives and works in Berlin. Opening of Nik Nowak’s exhibition “Double Back” at White Trash Contemporary, June 8, 2007. By VTV correspondents Lilli Kuschel + Mikko Gaestel.
