Of course, I started the new year with a walk to our Hall of Fame Auf der Donau. After all, it’s a tradition — same procedure as last year, Miss Sophie. But HoF Auf der Donau got off to a false start. I only found pieces from the previous year. So we’ll keep practicing and […]
Last year, I made a bet with myself: how long would it take before a newly erected retaining wall on a vacant lot opposite my apartment would be visited by a graffiti artist? This bare wall was literally crying out for paint. It didn’t take long, and one morning in July, I found my unspoken […]
Of course, I knew that galleries are always closed on Mondays. But sometimes I just stand there, dumbfounded, in front of closed doors — on a Monday, of course — and wonder what to do next. Then you look around and can’t help but notice the change in your surroundings. So here it is —the […]

This underpass is now one of the largest works of street art in Gelsenkirchen […]
Please turn your attention to the end-of-year exhibition at Pretty Portal, Brunnenstraße 12, Düsseldorf. The two artists FAKE (Amsterdam) and L.E.T. (Düsseldorf) use stencils as a means of expression. They show that protest does not always have to be loud. It can also come in quietly and secretly through the back door, with humor and […]
Kupferdreh is located in the south of Essen and is not on my usual route, but an underpass is currently being painted there. Reason enough to pay a visit to Kupferdreh and the artists involved. Along the way, I of course collected a few souvenirs. NICK KNITE SODR SB x FEAL 141 BUNDEL PASS x […]
