#STEFAN STRUMBEL KUCKUCKSUHR SHOP SERIES#

The 10-piece collection included a series of backpacks, pouches, tambourine bags and reversible shoppers. Then came the wonderful MCM Spring/Summer 2015 Accessories Collection, a collaboration featuring Strumbel’s trademark Cuckoo Clock Graffiti motif embellished on the German brand’s iconic Visetos pattern leather goods. Then they began appearing on other objects and in collaborations. In addition to the sculptural clocks, Strumbel also created street art, installations, illustrations and silkscreen prints of his cuckoo clocks. Following that, Strumbel made an arrangement with Anton Schneider & Sons, a sixth-generation cuckoo-clock maker, to manufacture them. He first showed the new clocks – along with other drawings and murals- at a solo exhibition in 2006, but it was the clocks that drew the most interest and completely sold out. EPA/GEORGIOS KEFALAS |Īnd some of them are ‘streaking’ as in “Time Flies”: ‘Heimat Loves You’ by German artist Stefan Strumbel, represented by the gallery Springman (Freiburg), is shown at the international art show Scope Basel, on the sports field Landhof in Basel, Switzerland, 12 June 2009. Taking one of the most symbolic icons of the Black Forest region – a cuckoo clock- Stefan began buying them from local stores and transforming them, with spray paint and wood, into street-art inspired art.īased on the traditional models but adorned with grenades and handguns instead of rabbits and antlers, the clocks immediately garnered buzz. “But then I started thinking that graffiti itself was more of a New York thing and that I should do something that was authentic to where I come from, the Black Forest.” He continued “When I did graffiti, it was all about marking my territory,” he continued. “I wanted to ask the question, ‘What is heimat?’ and make it something fresh, ironic and dynamic.” Strumbel told the New York Times back in 2010. “For so long, after Hitler, Germans haven’t been able or allowed to reclaim their heimat,” Mr. Wrestling with the idea of “heimat” - a German word that translates loosely as homeland or regional identity - and how his art should reflect it, he decided to stop painting graffiti in 2005 and focus on cuckoo clocks instead.Ĭlose-up of the installation at the Museum entrance Stefan Strumbel was born and raised in a small city in southwestern Germany. 16, Home Sweet Home, 2010, Stefan Strumbel for Ralph Lauren At that time, Strumbel’s creation included one of his cuckoo clocks. The first time I ever heard of Stefan was back in 2010 when I wrote a post on Art Stars, a collaboration between various artists and Ralph Lauren’s Polo Jeans Co. Strumbel’s 18m tall Cuckoo Clock installation on the entrance of Germany’s Museum in Karlsruhe, 2012 I’ve been collecting images of them for almost five years and have more photos of his cuckoo clock street art, silkscreens and sculptures in one place than most. You may have seen some of these unusual cuckoo clocks on other art blogs over the years. Stefan in front of one of his older Cuckoo Clocks Recent bronze works by Stefan Strumbel They’ve been featured in ad campaigns, fashion collaborations and the hippest of venues. Strumbel is a well-known contemporary artist and his cuckoo clocks have bridged the gap between pop art and pop culture. The German graffiti, pop-artist, set designer and sculptor primarily works with bronze now but it’s his modern artistic take on the traditional Black Forest clocks, from his home country, that still turn my head. I’m talking about the fact that instead of featuring the über talented Stefan Strumbel’s latest bronze sculptures, I’m sharing with you his cuckoo clocks and related art which he created between 2005 – 2015. Another key aspect of this work refers to the concept of ‘Heimat’ a German word that cannot be entirely translated one on one but loosely refers to heritage or home.I always feel a little guilty when I write about an artist’s older work in lieu of their latest. Strumbel, however, creates both, a unique artificial and artistic aesthetic with his usage of extreme exaggerations in regard to form content. With their colorful and bright surface, the artworks appear as light and shiny pieces of pop art. At first sight, these objects don’t reveal any of the disturbing content but appear as beautifully crafted wooden sculptures. By doing so, he puts the objects into a completely new and often provocative context, always pushing boundaries. He replaces significant elements of the cuckoo’s clock, such as traditionally carved ornaments with motives that deal with the subjects of violence, pornography and death. Stefan Strumbel made a name for himself by exaggerating traditional and cult artifacts such as cuckoo clocks, anchors and crucifixes and reincorporating elements of Street Art and Pop Art.

I'd like to believe

I push my self to

That what we have is stand still

But the more i try to believe

The more i can see that its not

I hate to let my self down

By knowing that what we have is strumbeling down and i can do nothing but watch then down.

Cute Zelink headcanon incoming! What if King Rhoam always tried to set Zelda up with some noble douchebag at balls and she would be like: "Nope, if I have to dance, then with my appointed knight". And Link would be caught completely off guard, shoving a whole cake in his mouth. He cannot dance at all so they'd end up strumbeling across the dance floor for the rest of the night!

This is adooooooorable and I’m 100000% behind it. 

Also picturing them dancing and Link doing a crap job, and all the other knights and nobility just cursing and staring at him. “He can’t even dance,” “What does she see in him?” “This guy is gonna take down Ganon with two left feet?” etc. 

Except then he practices a whole bunch and comes one day and totes sweeps her off her feet and it’s fantastic. 

Damn you for making me want to write this.

Es gibt wohl keinen passenderen Ort für ein Schwarzwälder Freilichtmusuem  als die Gemeinde Gutach. Hier – und nur hier – gehört der zum Synonym für den Schwarzwald gewordene Bollenhut zur typischen Tracht.

Selbst in den Freiburger Bächle schwimmen mittlerweile gelbe Quietschentchen mit Bollenhut.

Auf dem Weg vom Parkplatz zum Freilichtmuseum haben wir eine besondere Galerie entdeckt. Diese ist – finde ich – einen eigenen Blogbeitrag wert. Die Unterführung unter den Bahngleisen zieren Werke des Offenburger Graffiti-Künstlers Stefan Strumbel.

Bollenhut, Kirschtorte, Kuckucksuhr und Schäferhund

… Traditionelle Schwarzwaldsymbole wurden von ihm gebrochen und mit Zitaten aus der Pop Art neu interpretiert. In zahlreichen Variationenen stellt er über verschiedene künsterlische Medien sich un der interessierten Öffentlichkeit die eine große Frage: What the fuck is heimat? …

heißt es auf einer Infotafel in der Bahnunterführung.

I always feel a little guilty when I write about an artist’s older work in lieu of their latest. And this post is laden with guilt. Great photo after photo of it. I’m talking about the fact that instead of featuring the über talented Stefan Strumbel’s latest bronze sculptures, I’m sharing with you his cuckoo clocks and related art which he created between 2005 – 2015.
