STAY VISIBLE

We are there. We are visible. Why do you allow yourself to scratch it?

There were times when we were not visible. Not in public. Friends saw us, we saw each other, maybe sometimes the family, in private rooms. In rooms where love was more than anything else. There were times when we were invisible. Being seen could be fatal.

The memories are black and white, yellowed. We were happy. No, it wasn’t the good old days. But you saw my smile. Dance with me, love me. We were always there, on the streets, in the cafes, in the clubs, on the dance floors. Visible, very visible, many of us, loudly. It was a good time. Today the language is changing. Outside the Nazis are screaming again: Erase! Everyone is still fine.

In his photographs, cut-outs and objects, Peter Dubina shows erotic motifs, taken very seriously in a poetic way. About Peter Dubina completed the fine arts course. He has been working as a freelance artist since 2001 and has lived in the Rosenheim district since 2010. He is a member of the professional association of visual artists. He has had numerous solo and group exhibitions in Germany, Austria, Spain, the Netherlands and Slovakia. In 2013 he was awarded the City of Erding’s Art Prize. He is also a prize winner of the 2017 Bavarian State Ministry of Justice art competition and 1st prize winner of the Upper Bavarian Art Promotion Prize 2020.

 “MÄNNERTRÄUME” by  ULRICH BRESLAU

Behind the name Ulrich Breslau is the artist Hans-Ulrich Buchwald (1925 – 2009).

The artist was born in Breslau and, since 1947, based in Hameln and then in Hanover, created a comprehensive artistic work. He became internationally known for his wood and linocuts.
Buchwald has always depicted the young male body in all its artistic possibilities. When his wife died, he chose the pseudonym Breslau and created many
Homo-Erotic colored drawings: men from young to old. These drawings are very fascinating. They reach an imaginative dimension, they show the hidden wishes and longings of human existence. These pictures are very colorful and his visit to the gay sauna cannot be missed. But he also draws on the “Bullenwiese” – that’s what they call a gay nude beach in Hanover.

The 2004 exhibition at the Gay*Museum was important for him. Andreas Sternweiler also recognized the artist’s homosexuality in his early pictures and also exhibited these works.

Art Tips - not only during #BLACKWEEKENDBerlin

Paul Fraser (aka Paul of Scotland) is back in his favorite city of Berlin. Why Berlin?
“Because it’s one of the last bastions of gay and kinky freedom, a place where the world meets,” he says, “where art gets out of hand and because it’s the place of true friendships.”

You may know Paul through his art shown in Edinburgh, London, Manchester, Bristol, Nice, Paris, Los Angeles, Chicago, Lisbon or at the Tom of Finland Foundation where few drawings are in the permanent collections. More recently and year after year in Berlin, each time with a theme to do with kink and leather. You may have seen Paul seated at Romeo&Romeo and caught a glimpse of the people who are Paul’s inspiration… Paul is a hyper-realist artist!

This year Paul is once again focusing on those who inspire him with their courage, determination, example and sacrifice such as Durk Dehner, Cal Rider, Terri Miller, Brett Jones and Alan Turing to name a few. They will be featured on a Wall of Honor with their story and how they gave their heart and soul to enable us to live our lives at a time when our rights are under constant attack.

Not least because of this, Paul’s exhibition is titled “STRAP ON!”.

Be brave, give yourself a kick, throw yourself into gear and show yourself – just as you are …. strap on!

The premiere of his new work is on Thursday, September 7th from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m

Art Tips - not only during #BLACKWEEKENDBerlin

The monthly meetings of the BERLINCIGARMEN have been around for more than 6 years.

Created at Folsom Europe with the idea of giving cigar lovers a place to meet and enjoy a cigar with other aficionados in an appropriate setting.

Irrespective of which fetish it belongs to, the “Pussycat” has become the most famous smoking bar in Berlin and also far beyond the borders of the capital. BLACKWEEKENDBerlin, the monthly fetish weekend for leather guys, starts on the first Friday of every month with the BERLINCIGARMEN Lounge.

On the occasion of “20 years of Folsom Europe” there will be a wall calendar for the first time, in cooperation with the well-known fetish photographer D81Photos, filled with smoking fetish men for the whole year 2024.

The premiere of the calendar and the 12 photo motifs is on Thursday, September 7th from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. in the gallery

MEET THE ARTIST |  Tim Arne


Cafe Romeo und Romeo

Motzstraße 20  | 10777 Berlin

Art Tips - not only during #BLACKWEEKENDBerlin

Berlin is fetish. multi-layered. Often black, colorful at the same time. Leather, rubber, cross over. This is exactly what the three Schöneberg photographers, Norbert, Reza and Tim Arne, who all three are deeply connected to in the scene, show. Everyone brings their view of the topic closer, mostly with protagonists living in Berlin.

With its bars and shops, Schöneberg’s rainbow district is the center of fetish culture. Right in the middle from April onwards the extensive exhibition with 35 works . The images will be on display until mid-September, sometimes in different compositions.


April 8th | 13:00-16:00

MEET THE ARTIST


BAD DOLLS by Juan Boilero


Eisenherz

Motzstraße 23 | 10777 Berlin

BAD DOLLS is proof that cardboard can really make you horny. It can even become a fetish, Juan Boilero points out. A battalion of well-equipped “cardboard comrades” in hand format is waiting for you in the exhibition room of the Eisenherz. The almost exclusively bearded bald heads are often skillfully garnished with leather accessories. But sailors, construction workers and policemen also make lascivious mines on the walls of the bookshop. And if you’re not into the crazy, you’ll meet the man next door, guys in white undershirts, dented underpants and perfectly normal tennis socks… Not just latex and leather – there are many fetishes, cardboard is one of them!


March until September

With its bars and shops, Schöneberg’s rainbow district is the center of fetish culture. Right in the middle on 30.03. The extensive exhibition with 35 works will open at a vernissage in the Café Romeo und Romeo from 8 p.m. The images will be on display until mid-September, sometimes in different compositions. Thus, the many visitors to the 50th Easter gathering, as the Folsom supporters in September, have the chance to stop by the Romeo.

Buchhandlung EISENHERZ 

Motzstraße 23 | 10777 Berlin

LEATHER PRIDE by PAUL FRASER aka Paul of Scotland in Berlin. Open daily from September 8th to 28th according to the opening hours of the EISENHERZ bookstore

The artist will be at the venue presenting and signing his new autobiography “Paul of Scotland, A Highland Artist” during the Vernissage.

Paul of Scotland, also known as PAUL FRASER, born in Portugal in 1971, grew up in France and after 3 years living in Amsterdam he moved back to Scotland in 2008, where his ancestors came from. Although Paul’s studies took him to the Ecole du Louvre, he is a self-taught artist who has been drawing since he could hold a pencil. Paul’s ability has tracked his personal development, particularly as a gay leatherman, visualizing and living his attraction to what makes a man in uniform and leather more masculine.

Although Paul’s studies took him to the Ecole du Louvre, he is a self-taught artist who has been drawing since he could hold a pencil. Paul’s ability has tracked his personal development, particularly as a gay leatherman, visualizing and living his attraction to what makes a man in uniform and leather more masculine.

He works with photographs to maximize the likeness in his images. Recently, drawings on black paper have emerged that focus on the light. In the exhibition “SexBiosis”, he emphasizes how artists influence each other. In this case, Paul was inspired by photographers who understand how black and white works.

His work has been shown in Nice, Manchester, Edinburgh, Berlin and virtually on the Tom of Finland Foundation website and at CLAW Fair and published in Drummer Magazine.
