1UP

1UP or "One United Power" is most famous for its worldwide graffiti activity. Street bombings in broad daylight, whole-cars in running traffic and rooftops at dizzying heights. As the artists hit the streets, they are also making waves in the art world, with installations, prints, canvases and books. There are international artists in the crew, men and women from cities all over Europe. It‘s a family, where „strength in unity“ is the rule: One Crew, One Love, One Power. 1UP stands for the Zeitgeist of Berlin like no other contemporary collective. Having it´s DNA deeply rooted in the streets of Kreuzberg the crew turned into a global family, which is meanwhile one of the most famous graffiti crews worldwide. Collaborative and collective work with spectacular stunts and logistically highly demanding actions is part of the identity of the anonymous artists group.

“The book I AM 1UP was first published in 2014 in an underground edition distributed by the artists themselves and was also published the following year by Publikat Publishing, thus making it accessible to a wider audience. Both editions have been out of print for many years and are traded at high prices on portals like eBay. Due to the existing demand, the title has now been reissued again and will come out in 2021 as a collector’s edition with precious gold foil stamping on the cover. In addition, each book comes with a small artist print in size 21×15. This add-on was produced on high-quality Munken Lynx Rough-in heavy 300-gram quality and is also hand-signed by the 1UPs!

There are 5 different variants of the print, which of the prints is in the shrink-wrapped books you see only when unpacking. To the actual book or the group ONE UNITED POWER itself, one must lose at this point probably no more, the Berlin writer crew from Berlin did many spectacular actions in recent years and have thereby internationally received great media attention. And even away from train depots or rooftops, the guys have already taken a successful path towards the gallery and now enrich the urban art world in this area.”
