Krazy Kunst
From 2012 to 2013, artists Michael Bell and Menno Fahl posted numerous parcels of wood blocks to one
another from their respective hometowns of Newcastle and Berlin. Each artist hand-carved an image in response to the other. These woodblocks travelled between the two countries many times before a satisfactory result was decided upon. Some woodblocks journeyed over 65,000km before being finally printed!
Krazy Kunst ( Kunst meaning art in German), features 40 multi-coloured prints rich in humour and
German Expressionist drama. Krazy Kunst has previously shown in Berlin, Lubeck, Maitland and Sydney.
Michael Bell (b. Maitland 1959) is a well-known Australian artist whose career extends over 35 years.
Bell has held 20 solo shows in Sydney and Newcastle and has participated in over 100 group shows
including The Archibald and Sulman Prizes .
Menno Fahl (b. Hanover 1967) is a Berlin based artist who works across the mediums of sculpture
painting, and printmaking. Menno has exhibited extensively across Germany and Europe.
