 Biography:  Born in (US) Born and grew up in the USA Art Parsons, N.Y. USA Illustration FIT, NY, USA. Art Bonn, Alanus Internship " Meire & Meire“, Köln Danielle de Picciotto has been a multimedia artist from the very beginning - music, painting, illustration, film, video and curation are only a few of the many talents she combines. All of her work, no matter in what media, is exceptionally intense and poignant. The viewer is boldly guided into a bizarre world of pulsating nightlife, eccentric Japanese dancers, burlesque backstage scenery, misfits and lost cowboys. Her playful approach of dealing with diverse media illustrates her conviction that only by combining different elements something truly new can originate, both in art as in society. By the means of this vocation the New York artist Danielle de Picciotto has become one of the most influential and symbolic members of Berlins thriving art and club scene since her arrival in Germany. Besides her own solo and group exhibitions she has organized countless art, music and charity events always consigned to breaking norms and making new forms visible and possible. Together with Dr. Motte she founded the Love Parade, sang with the hip hop Crossover band Space Cowboys, and initiated the Ocean Club together with Gudrun Gut. Besides her solo exhibitions in galleries she has created room installations and art for every important club in Berlin, understanding the role these melting points of music, art, fashion and communication have in today's society. Realizing the importance of being able to touch people directly through art in environments in which they feel emotionally open she became one of the founders of the new underground Berlin club art culture. To introduce this and other young art forms to the market she founded the Gallery Institut and presented over 150 artists, writers and musicians while doing own exhibitions on the side. Her belief that as an artist one not only holds responsibility towards oneself but also must think in larger terms has encouraged her to start working more and more outside of Berlin initiating Berlin group exhibitions in Naples, Hong Kong, Rome, Milan and major cities in Germany-many in collaboration with the Goethe Institiut. Her collaborations with Dr Motte, Gudrun Gut, The Bad Seeds, Einstürzende Neubauten, Blixa Bargeld and Alexander Hacke solo projects, Foetus, Stefan Hoenerloh, Dead Chickens, Babazula, Fatih Akin, West Bam, Marusha, Johnny Klimek, Terranova, Jim Avignon, Hanin Elias (Atari Teenage Riot), DavidHarrow (Dub Syndicate), Lillevän, Rechenzentrum, Anita Lane, Throbbing Gristle, Mark Stewart and the Mafia and many other artists and musicians have helped to communicate the colourful creative scene Berlins subculture can offer. | Public exhibitions 6 Group shows 62008
