Growing up in a United States Marine Corps family in the U.S and now residingin Berlin, Brad Downey is a sculpture, painter, and public works artist. He creates clever and sometimes perplexing installations using simple materials. His work has been featured in The New York Times, Creative Review, and the Atlanta Journal Constitution, while regularly giving lectures about his endeavors. His newest exhibition “The Floor, The Table and The Wall” opened last week at Kulturzentrum Marstall in Hamburg, Germany.

As we prepare our own trip to Grottaglie, Italy for Fame Festival later this month, we are keeping up with the work being presented in the Southern Italian city. Now up is duo Brakay (Brad Downey and A Kay), who have gone around Grottaglie and left little treasures and conceptual pieces, using the narrow streets to their advantage.
