Street Art Vending Machine …
… PLEASE INSERT JUST A SMILE I almost had a coin in my hand, to take away one of the presented artworks, when I noticed the fake: And the price to insert, a smile, developed to a peal of laughter. The preference of the artists for vending machines from Japanese origin gave the idea to […]
Denis Klatt – Tied Up Humpback Whale
Almost a year is passed since my last walk in Dortmund’s Unionviertel (#FUCKCORONA); plenty of time for the change. I didn’t expect to find such a variety of new murals there. Denis Klatt aka HIFI has realized a mighty Humpback Whale at Lange Straße 21. The background story is given by his Instagram account. What […]
One Thing is for sure – The Change
Since my first visit in Dortmund’s Unionviertel I was keen of an old advertising mural at Kraftstoff, a popular pub and beergarden at Augustastraße 2. Unfortunately I didn’t got a proper picture of it and when I was there in October 2020, I found the facade scaffolded and did’nt foresee anything good, I didn’t know […]
One Thing is for sure – The Change
The wall opposite Dortmunder U, designed in November 2013 with „HYPE“ by Mark Gmehling, has got a new face. Curated by 44309 STREET//ART GALLERY, artist collective „MAN KENNT SICH“ (Herr Choko, A.Elementar, Kasino 44, Call Me Marc & Dr.Aco) has redesigned this eyecatcher wall in the heart of Unionviertel. Unfortunately the exhibition „I was here“, […]
Thank heavens – They were there!
I must confess, I’m almost ashamed to admit, that yesterday the lack of public lavatories caused a serious case of emergency. No loos in local transport, that’s not new; I firmly counted on „Sanifer“ in Dortmund’s main station, but sorry for any inconveniences. My last hope – Dortmunder U – shut due to Corona restrictions! […]
One Thing is for sure – The Change
Hard to believe, but yes, Essen is a big player in Northrhine Westfalia’s clubscene. In the early 1990s, the discotheque „Siggi’s Kalei“ was cult. Later Kay Shanghai took over and founded Hotel Shanghai, which is a location dedicated mainly to electro music. The facade of the club is designed frequently and has got the latest […]
Springtime is Paste-up time …
… at least in Essen Frohnhausen Those of you who are walking the Fronx with open eyes currently, may already have noticed them. The paste-ups glued by EIKE with a little help of a number of friends like Ursula Meyer, COSY, 0ae and who knows who else. I don’t know, if I have caught them […]
HoF Unterführungsstraße in March
I have to apologize, for my last visit in Duisburg was in January. As a pedestrian in times of Corona, the radius of my activities mainly is determined by the availability of public restrooms. My alternatives normally are restaurants and cafes but you know … (#FUCKCKCORONA). Its not really funny to run back from Meiderich […]
HOMELAND – HEIMAT – Community Foundation Duisburg
I would like to draw your attention to a project of Community Foundation Duisburg, who plan to colour 60 pillars of motorway A59 next to Duisburg’s Inner Harbour in the near future. In a survey they have collected thoughts and feelings due to the concept of homeland. Artists will be allowed to transport those concepts […]
Spring is in the air …
… and it was a nearly perfect day in the south side of Essen, up to the moment when I came across my favorite tunnel for pedestrians. Favorite because of the squirrels, which populated that tunnel since 2015. My little friends have changed territory. I hope they will be back sometime. I miss them sorely. […]
