GIGO PROPAGANDA – We are the people…
I must confess, I find it more and more tiring to explain, what is behind the art of GIGO PROPAGANDA; everyone can see what he is doing with language. To transfer it to English is impossible (for me). The best is to look out for someone who is best in both, German and English to […]

One thing is for sure – the change
I was very excited to find Madame Medusa in my hometown in 12/2016. This paste-up, made by DECYCLE, was highly respected by Essen’s street art community for a long time at that spot downtown, at Viehofer Straße, but in the course of the time it suffered from wind and weather and was very taken over […]

A walk in the park
Cologne is a big city, regardless of whether on the right or on the left bank of the Rhine. My walks in Cologne often get out of control, because mostly I discover something unsuspected to make my plans upset.

BOOM FOR REAL – Frankfurt’s Art Hall Schirn gives an overview of Jean-Michel Basquiat’s work
I would like to draw your attention to the current show „BASQUIAT. BOOM FOR REAL“ at the Schirn in Frankfurt. It is on show until 27th May. And what has that got to do with Janis Joplin and Amy Winehouse? Well – they all are members of 27 Club which is a list of popular musicians, […]

One thing is for sure – the change
In the universe of street art the change is a constant companion of artists and fans as well. After some time one learns to let go and accept the change. But even if the change is familiar, I cannot say that it is easy, losing a beloved piece. In Cologne there is a special squad […]

JOINY – That’s just between us …
… I can’t promise anything In 2013 the character JOINY was born. All I know about the mother/father of JOINY is, she/he is Cologne based. The girl Joiny surprises with her innocent big wide eyes and her cool slogans in colonian dialect. She always has something like a wand in her hands; I suppose it […]

Wholecar
S11 normally runs between Düsseldorf Airport and Bergisch Gladbach. To see it in Essen at main station is quite unusual, even under police protection. I assume that it wasn’t the graffiti which should have been protected.

One thing is for sure – the change

MOC
During a visit in Dortmund in May 2017, I came across some very impressive stencils in black & white, of an artist, completely new to me. I don’t know anything about him or her, except the signature, which is MOC. My latest visit in Dortmund, for the MADC solo show, again brought me down Adlerstraße […]

Adler 59 forever
I’ve no idea how many times I’ve said it, nor how many times I have to say it again in the future: my favorite spot in Dortmund’s Unionviertel is the backyard of Adlerstraße 59. I’m still waiting for someone to give me a hint, to find a spot to top the special atmosphere in this place. […]
