One of a kind, and released as part of a collection of 10 unique original artworks, this piece was created using Gregor Hildebrandt’s signature rip-off technique. Working with strands of pre-recorded tape, the artist coats one skateboard with an adhesive, gluing down the strands lengthways up the skateboard’s face. He then peels each piece off one-by-one, sticking it onto another skateboard to create a “negative”. The positive and negative skateboards are both available, and each artwork is named with the song recorded onto the tape used in its creation in mind. In this case, the song is Die Ärtze by Madonnas Dickdarm, prompting the lyrically inspired name “MADONNA”.

Gregor HILDEBRANDT was born in Bad Homburg, Germany, in 1974. He currently lives and works in Berlin. He is most known for his work in the medium of cassette tape and vinyl, working to create minimalist yet deeply romantic paintings, sculptures, and installations. Though much of his work is still, silent, there is a kinetic and sonic depth: all of his works contain prerecorded materials – songs or films – on the base material (the tape/vinyl). In 2018, Gregor HILDEBRANDT created together with his partner, the artist Alicja Kwade, the label Grzegorzki Records.

Working with THE SKATEROOM, Gregor has created a collection of limited edition and unique art pieces, with a portion of revenue going towards Berlin-based, internationally operating social skate NGO, Skateistan. The collection, released in tandem with Gregor HILDEBRANDT’s Kunsthalle Praha exhibition in Czech Republic, comprises 10 unique artworks, each named after a song (recorded onto the tape used in the creation of the respective artworks) and two limited editions: Barta Board and Barta Board Black. The first of these is released in a run of 100 editions, the second in a run of 25 hand-signed editions. Both are in the form of solos.

Buying guide

CoA is short for certificate of authenticity. CoA’s are either signed by the artist or THE SKATEROOM in order to validate the editions. It is specificied on each product page if a CoA is provided with the edition.

We provide you with everything you need to hang your boards up. With your edition purchase you will receive the EasyFix wall mounts. It’s really easy to set up and you can find all the instructions right here. You can always upgrade to the premium SnapDisplay wall mounts.

Our team is also always ready to help if you have any additional questions.

These editions of artwork are intended for decorative purposes. While you could definitely skate on them if you wanted to, we provide you with one wall mount per deck to hang them on your wall, just like a painting.

Direct exposure to sunlight might result in discoloration and damage to your editions. To avoid this, we strongly suggest hanging your art-decks away from direct natural light.

We make a commitment to the social projects we fund: at least 10% of our revenue goes directly to them. Working with our partners, we help empower at-risk youth, build new skateparks and develop education facilities & resource programs. Since 2014, we have generated over $1,500,000 to support social projects around the world.

In 2019, we became a Certified B Corporation. THE SKATEROOM is also CO2 neutral, chooses to source its skateboard wood from certified sustainable forests, and uses water-based ink for its prints.

THE SKATEROOM makes art accessible to everyone by delivering WORLDWIDE from our warehouse in Belgium.

We do ship our artwork using UPS EXPRESS for fast delivery. Shipping estimates will be provided in the checkout process, once you enter your delivery address. Typically we process and ship your order within 48 hours (except for editions in pre-orders). You will get a tracking number to follow your shipment. It usually takes 2-5 additional business days to arrive with UPS express, depending on your location.

Please note that some non-EU countries do charge additional customs fees. We recommend you to check with your local authorities.
