HoF Emscherhalle in May

My actual visit at HoF Emscherhalle in Duisburg almost has fallen victim to a thunderstorm of epochal proportions. I had to wait out the storm under the umbrella of the hall in good company of a number of scaters, providing a music background. MC BOGY took care for the mixture and some superheroes and screen […]

Project HOMELAND – Stories on Concrete

Finger exercises at Essenberger Straße are completed and now, that the scaffolding was dismantled at the building, the walls tell stories of Homeland and Flora. Stories on concrete about icons of the Ruhr area, like MSV, the local soccer club, or a typical newsstand. Landscapes dominated by concrete and a number of weird animals now […]

Dortmunder Gruppe shows „Banner Project“ at Phoenix West

These are hard times, not only for artists, who are unable to present their work in exhibitions actually (#FUCKCORONA). So I would like to draw your attention to a project of 22 artists of Dortmunder Gruppe, who exhibit their current works in a prominent place next to the disused blast furnace at Phoenix West. The […]

KRYPTIC LINEZ has finished new mural in Unionviertel

When I came accross Unionviertel three weeks ago I found a new mural in the process of development. Meanwhile the mural was finished and a signature was left. So I’m able now to provide additional information about the artist(s) – at least partially. The wall was signed with KRYPTIC LINEZ, but that is all I […]

WE HAVE A DREAM – HAKUNA MATATA – IN THE HOOD

I have been asked several times recently if the walls at Lüneburger- / Sybel- / Frankfurter straße are legal walls and a hall of fame. To be honest, I have no idea, but I don’t think so. I assume that these walls will soon be torn down because construction is going to take place there. […]

Project HOMELAND – Community Foundation Duisburg – work in progress

My visit at the old warehouse at Essenberger Straße, where project „Heimat“ of Community Foundation Duisburg is situated, is about 4 weeks ago. Meanwhile the building was scaffolded and volunteers have prepared the facade to get the participating artists started. I wasn’t able to identify them all; so far I have discovered pieces of MR.PILZ […]

One Thing is for sure – The Change

The wall at GeKu Haus, situated at Kreuzeskirchstraße, in the heart of Creative Quarter North, is redesigned frequently, since I have discovered it in June 2014. In September 2019 MR.OREO had painted a portrait of Greta Thunberg, who is the face of „Fridays for Future“ movement, to support the protests for a better climate policy. […]

New mural in Dortmund’s Unionviertel (work in progress )

My last visit in Dortmund’s Unionviertel felt like an eternity ago and I was stunned in view of all those new artworks close together. The finding of an unfinished project at Rheinische straße 38 brought it to 4 new murals a day in total. I don’t know anything about the artist(s) behind, but I’ll do […]

Old bathhouse downtown – Lost place in the middle of the town

Since 1882 at Steeler Straße 38 a public swimming pool was located. At that time it was considered the most modern and largest bath in the city. In the years until 1927, it was repeatedly expanded and finally had a fountain in the middle of the main pool. In World War II the bath was […]
