Seen today in passing
In times of Corona travelling by public transport over longer distances is difficult and stressful, if not impossible, which moves Berlin and Kreuzberg far away and unreachable – initially. So it’s natural, to look around, to find something nearby, some kind of replacement. In Essen, the neighbouehood around Isenbergplatz is, what comes closest to my […]
Keep your distance – and wear a Mask
In a cluster, everyone has to wear a mask; exception: Shaun the Sheep and relatives. The ordinary sheep must be well dressed and allowed to enter the shop. Seen today in passing. Rüttenscheider Straße 155 – RÜ Art
HoF Duisburg – Alte Kaserne in May
I have decided to explore public transport, wearing the obligatory face mask. Since the shutdown I previously had avoided public transport and made my walks on my own feet only. Duisburg is not so far away, but impossible to reach on foot; so this was my first visit in Duisburg this year. ÜBEL and others […]

0(æ) – The King, his Lap Dog and the Scholar

Handpainted stones are placed everywhere, to connect people, who cannot come close together. A colourful snake of stones, which gets longer and longer, can be found […]
Supporting Structure Colour – Olli Rose
Helbingbrücke, a space-off area next to Essen’s railway station, currently gets a face lift. 4 columns of 20 in total get a new design by local street artists. The second column was finished last weekend by Olli Rose, member of art collective SIGNS AND WONDERS. Olli Rose is an experienced tattooist and has a very […]
Supporting Structure Colour – COSY
Jan Schoch aka EIKE is the creative head behind project Stützwerk Farbe, which has the very ambitioned aim to give the 20 columns of Helbingbrücke a new design. Essen’s Cultural Office kindly supports the project with 2000 EUR project expenditure. That isn’t that much, considering that the financial outlay to design only one column is […]
