HoF Grüner Pfad un April

After the decline of heavy industry the network of railway tracks, formerly used for the delivery of raw materials to the blast furnace plants, was developed into a pedestrian and bycicle path network. The „Green Path“ is in the top 10 of my favorite halls. It delivers an irresistible mixture of nature, art and industrial […]

HoF Emscherhalle in April

HoF Emscherhalle is situated in Landschaftspark Duisburg Nord. When I was a school kid, I very often wished I could find a way into this mysterious place where steel was cooked. It was steaming, fizzling and glowing at all corners and as much as I wanted to, entry was of course strictly forbidden and impossible. […]

HoF Essen Borbeck in April

HoF Essen Borbeck is one of our halls of fame which are not allowed to be painted spontaneously. You have to ask for permission first. Probably that is the reason why it doesn’t change its face very often. Nevertheless, the frequency of renewance is not an indicator of the quality of the pieces found there […]

The Postman Always Rings Twice

I would like to draw your attention to the new solo show „WE CAN BE HEROES“ at Take a Butcher’s Gallery in Düsseldorf Flingern, Hoffeldstraße 42. THE POSTMAN collective from Bristol spread love on the streets by creating art that surprises where you least expect it. Colorful pieces of art, celebrateing the heroes of our […]

HoF Dortmund Hafen in April

My first visit of the new HoF in Dortmund next to Speicherstraße 100 was a blast. The new hall was unveiled a few days ago and it seemed to me that the opening had mobilised the creme de la creme of the graffiti scene in North Rhine-Westphalia. Unfortunately, it turned out that my camera had […]

New Hall of Fame in Dortmund

The site where the former „Knauf Interfer Hall“ once stood is now home to North Rhine-Westphalia’s longest Hall of Fame. Graffiti artists can now express their creative ideas on the 600-metre-long wall that surrounds the area to the west. This Hall of Fame is one of the longest of its kind in NRW; a total […]

Notes from the Streets of Amman

For Baladk Festival 2021, one of the most famous French street artists and globetrotter, Seth Globepainter, has painted the murals “The last piece” and „Three cages“ in Hashmi Al Shamali, a neighborhood in Amman that is inhabited by generations of Palestinians that still struggle to build a life. What I particularly like about this works, […]

Hafendampf in the course of the years – My personal highlights

As I have said before, countless artists from near and far have participated in Hafendampf over the years. Too much to name and show their works in the frame of my post. Today the day has come, Hafendampf turns into a teenie (may God save us all!), but before I start to meet you all […]
