Reviews
The subtext of the book is a comment on cultural difference, on the conviction that somehow alternative cultureradical, subversive, activist, and chaotically but collectively organizedis thriving in Berlin in a way that it has been expunged from the sanitized and surveilled spaces of contemporary America. If that is true, we have something more urgent to learn from this book than how to appreciate this stencil art.
This art and text project by Caroline Koebel and Kyle Schlesinger is a loving drift through the streets of Berlin to examine and to be inspired by its raw, lively, lustful, sometimes esoteric stencil culture. Exquisitely photographed, this work plays in the in betweens of poetics and politics, the trivial and the insightful, the amusing and the disturbing, the immediate and the aloof. One way or another, this book will seduce you.

The Pink, in both form and theme, shows a work that, in the words of George Oppen, "shows confidence in itself and its materials." Thanks to Kyle, we are gratefully taken into this confidence.
