Strassenmaid & Dan Driftwood for Wright Festival 2023
Since 2020, artist couple STRASSENMAID & DAN DRIFTWOOD have joined forces from time to time and combined two distinctive styles to create something new. Since 2006, STRASSENMAID’s stencils and paste-ups with their sometimes cheeky, sometimes encouraging slogans have been appearing everywhere in public spaces. Dan Driftwood deals with calligraffiti and doesn’t seem to worry about […]
ONI & METRAEDA for Wright Festival 2023
At first glance, it looks as if the piece left behind by the two Düsseldorf based street artists ONI and METRAEDA is reflected in the shop window at Königsallee 6 – 8. On closer inspection, this turns out to be a clever deception. What appears to be a reflection is a mirror-inverted continuation of the […]
L.E.T. for Wright Festival 2023
„Art is the daughter of freedom“, formulated Friedrich Schiller in 1795. This quote is 228 years old; one can hardly believe it! Artists observe and process, combine and see. What can and what is art allowed to do? Who pays? Düsseldorf based artist L.E.T. gives passers-by at Wilhelm Stumpf Straße 49 something to think about. […]

METRAEDA for Wright Festival 2023
First of all, the address Wilfred Stumpf Street meant nothing to me. But then! This house is in the immediate vicinity of the TONA kids (Wright Festival 2022) and the TERA & JAYBEE trainer shoe pigeons (Wright Festival 2019). The neighbourhood around Königsalle 28 and Wilfred Stumpf Straße 49 is developing into a hot spot […]
Dan Driftwood & STRASSENMAID for Wright Festival 2023
For 6 years now, Wright Festival Bochum is a constant in the street art calendar of my area. This festival represents a final highlight of my street art year and at the same time marks the final end of summer. The dark season begins and if you are now longing for warmth, you should consider […]
Wright Festival 2023 – Please save all those dates!
After Corona and all the shit that came with it, everyone is hungry to catch up on all that was missed. This year’s Wright Festival is joining in and getting into top form. If I interpret the festival flyer released today correctly, we can look forward to a handful of new murals by big name […]
A walk in the (West)park
Less than a kilometre from Bochum’s city centre is an extremely exciting park. The Westpark gets its name, of course, from its location west of the city centre. You’ll find a wild mix of industrial culture you can touch, nature and art; an impressive combination. Numerous paths, ramps and bridges criss-cross the park and there […]
The 2023/24 theatre season can start
Access to the underground via staircase and escalator at the Theatre Bochum was blocked for about 14 days, as Denis Klatt aka HIFI was busy creating a more pleasant environment for passers-by. Now motifs from the drama-productions of the house from the last years put theatre-goers arriving by public transport in the mood for what […]
Denis Klatt aka HIFI at Bermuda3eck
Just in time for Bochum Total, Denis Klatt aka HIFI has catapulted underground station Bermuda3eick / Musikforum from 70s style into the modern era. Bochum’s strategy for beautifying the cityscape is called „Hin und weg – Graffiti art instead of smearings“. Once out of the tram, you emerge to the surface, accompanied by whales, sharks, […]
