Aus der Art am See

It’s summertime and when the weather is fine, it’s festival season, but in times of Corona (#FUCKCORONA) festivals have become a rarity. The conditions for such events are strict and so a lot of people are waiting in desperation for offers. And here it is, the festival „AUS DER ART AM SEE“, a special offer […]

Supporting Structure Colour – EIKE

When I left home this morning I didn’t expect to be given gifts, today it wasn’t my birthday after all. Nevertheless I got a gift in the course of the day. It occured unexpectedly and surprisingly – I love surprises. Jan Schoch aka EIKE has finished the 5th column of Stützwerk Farbe at Helbingbrücke, which […]

Goch history meets Streetart

I would like to draw your attention to an upcoming street art project in Goch, where Benjamin Taag, supported by the local heritage society, organizes a modern treasure hunt criss cross Goch. It runs from 29.8. to 12.9. and is made to give an attractive outdoor activity for young and old in times of Corona […]

One thing is for sure – the change

When I took the first pictures of the mural created by various local artists at the bycicle and pedestrian ramp, which connects parking lot P2 at Messe Essen with Rüttenscheider Straße, it was already old and it already had set moss. That was June 2014 and I was a newbie without a clue. It was […]

BÄDBOY – New Düsseldorf findings

I’ve always liked it, the Cheshire Cat, which is a fictional cat popularised by Lewis Carroll in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. During 40° Urban Art Festival 2015, I met this critter all the time as alter ego of BÄDBOY, who is a Düsseldorf based graffiti writer and street artist. In the last days I have […]

Take a Butcher’s Gallery reports back

With two good news Take a Butcher’s Gallery reports back after a long compulsory break (#FUCKCORONA). From Saturday Aug 15 on they invite to see works of NEAN, including older but also new and unseen works. The opening night will be a non-party event and a bit different due to the circumstances. They can only […]

BILMO – BANG BLOOM BANG

BILMO DE BACHATA is a street artist, who appeared on my radar 2017. He is based somewhere in nowhere between Düsseldorf and Cologne. His street name has found him in a tapas bar, where he was taken away by music a la „me gusta la bachta“. Since then his friends call him like that. He […]

Urban Neurotics

For me its a daily experience, not only since Corona (#FUCKCORONA), coming across people with mental problems. If one is to believe the media, the number of people, suffering from fear illnesses, is increasing. I don’t know if there is a special term for the phobia of eyes, if not, for this case it would […]
