Meet at the Memorial to Polish Soldiers and German Antifascists
Join Kominek Books and Ed Templeton for an outdoor book signing and picnic.
Refreshments will be provided, but you’re welcome to bring a picnic blanket and your own beverage.
The artist will be signing his latest books, including Aperture’s 2023 title Wires Crossed. Part memoir, part document of the DIY, punk-infused subculture of skateboarding as it came of age in the 1990s and early 2000s, Templeton’s Wires Crossed pulses with the raw, combustive energy of his image-making from the last twenty-plus years. Illustrated by photographs, collages, texts, maps, and other ephemera from Templeton’s journals, the book offers an insider’s look at a subculture in the making and reflects the unique aesthetic stamp that sprang from the skate world he helped create.
In case of rain, the event will be held at Kominek Gallery, Immanuelkirchstraße 25, 10405 Berlin.
