3 – 2 – 1 Strassengold 2024 ends next Sunday

Unfortunately, it only appeared very briefly and then disappeared again. Strassengold 2024 ends on 28 April at 7 pm. Very little time left to really enjoy this opulent show. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to visit the exhibition in the Kulturbunker. Actually, I planneded to go on the hunt between Cologne Deutz and Mülheim in […]

One thing is for sure – The Change

It’s a never ending story of win and loss – The Change. That’s a fact in street art and graffiti, I had and still have the most problems to accept and deal with. You walk past the same place again and again and see favourite pieces come and go. It doesn’t get any easier, even […]

Cologne Mülheim Doves

Pigeons have a bad reputation in our cities. They are often labelled „rats of the air“. But what about the pigeons of peace? Numerous old and new centres of conflict on the planet make it difficult for these birds. On my last walk in Cologne-Mülheim, a modern version of a peace dove fluttered across my […]

Gimme more next year

The year 2023 is drawing to a close and reviews of the year can be found everywhere in the media. So why not another reminiscence and this time my very personal hit list of pieces from the past year? It all started on 1 January with a piece by Nick Knite, with which he proclaimed […]

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 […]
