caged bird club

The first ever test of the stencils in the foyer of my friend's apartment building in Berlin.

The Caged Bird Club was conceived after really wanting to set my friend's bird free in Berlin and thinking about how art can sometimes seem trapped in galleries and controlled by people with money. The four main ideas behind the Caged Bird Club are:
  • everyone's creativity is valid and should be encouraged (you don't have to go to art school to be an artist)
  • art should be shared freely with the world (you don't have to earn money from your art to be an artist)
  • art can be anywhere and everywhere (you don't have to have your art in a gallery to be an artist)
  • public space can be made more beautiful by anyone (you shouldn't have to pay to use public space and it shouldn't just be used to sell shit)
These are the past exhibitions and work done by members of the Caged Bird Club:
