Down Town Gallery I Street Art I Künstler I Urbex Art I Samara Blue Photo Art Artist information - Down Town Gallery 2019 return Edgar Müller, Bad Ems - Human dignity is inviolable Home page In Edgar Müller's opinion, our imagination does not suffice to imagine the extent of our struggle for survival. For this reason, our actions and actions are inhuman. We disregard nature and The situation refugees. In order to understand that what people do and/or do nothing ultimately also affects them, there will first have to be a big bang. Many of the global catastrophes are due to human misconduct, caused by greed for profit, materialism and the need for economic growth. Artificial intelligence and the extremely fast-growing information technology that paralyzes free thinking, the Binds people's energy and threatens them with far too much unnecessary information in their natural being, is a sign that "his generation" has failed. It remains to be seen if anything will change. Gregor Wosik, Mönchengladbach - One Wall, Two Worlds Facebook * Instagram * Homepage Gregor Wosik takes up the always topical issue of refugees. He depicts the situation as a parallel world. On the one hand there are the desperate people looking for help, whole families often with small children, who are looking for a way across dangerous oceans to a supposedly better world, on the other hand the sailing regatta, well organized, public , well guarded. Gregor enthusiastically used the partially dilapidated underground to recreate a broken atmosphere with his colors and hands. A closer look reveals the fine details that force me to look more closely. Fabio Fedele, Rovigo, Italy - Unknown Psychodrama Facebook * Instagram Darkness and gloom surround a bright center like a cave. This cave represents evil thoughts, violence and fear. Selfishness, superficiality and uncompromising adherence to ideological and/or religious principles appear frightening and threatening to people. The bright scene in the background with the happy girl playing with animals in a beautifully colored nature, appears in bright light, thus representing good thoughts, love, tolerance, understanding and respecting the environment . The surrounding darkness seems to be overpowering and has a negative effect on us humans. But everyone has the freedom to determine their own behavior. Good thoughts can be a way out, out of the bunker. Actually quite simple. Even when threatening things and actions surround us, we have it in our hands to find the direction into the light, towards love, understanding and justice. Ruben Poncia, Uetrecht, The Netherlands - Reflex Facebook * Instagram * Homepage With this picture, the artist wants to draw attention to the fact that there is still a danger from nationalism and populism. The tiger depicted represents wisdom, mystery and domesticity. He leaves the eagle as a symbol of the Nazis for nationalism and populism. Such a beautiful animal as the eagle, like populism, attracts people, embodies power. But nobody knows when he will attack. Out of his own concern, Ruben wants to draw people's attention to the dangers of nationalistic ideas. He appeals not to forget the consequences, which are sufficiently documented by history, and to be aware of what such slogans can do. The overpoweringly large and aggressively portrayed eagle makes the danger seem very vivid to me. Victor Splash, St. Petersburg, Russia - Alive Surface Facebook * Instagram * Homepage The wall itself is the key element for Victor Splash. He lets himself be guided by the overall environment and wants to steer the visitor into his emotional world when entering the rooms. He perceives the peculiarities of the space made available to him and integrates this into his artwork. Here in the bunker, he is fascinated by the heaviness of the concrete pillars, which he softens into softer, more flexible forms through his 3D representation. In this way he seems to abolish the laws of architecture and construction and transforms himself without violence and aggression thickest walls and structures. Stressed.es, Krefeld, Germany - clip open Homepage The graphic designers Sebastian Saffenreuther and Clemens Brück symbolize the idea of protection with the help of brackets. With these brackets you can include or exclude things and/or influences. They connect the inside with the outside, one thinks: "Am I inside or outside? Am I under the protection of the bracket or is it more like a wall that hinders me?" It seems to be a question of one's own perception whether I perceive a situation as positive or negative. It's my decision whether I get involved in a situation and maybe talk to other people about it. Similar to, for example, the intersections in set theory, I capture this work of art with a geometric feeling. Something that has been very familiar and vivid to me since school. They also use colour, form and composition in a playful way. The daylight that falls on the picture at this particular point reinforces the connection between inside and outside. Adry del Rocío, Guadalajara, Mexico - A house to dream of Facebook * Instagram * Homepage The artist from Mexico worries about the difficult living conditions in refugee camps. Can they hope for protection and a more comfortable life? Do they have prospects of a secure future, of a house to dream of? Already in her childhood, the artist was sensitized to this subject by her father. He supported street children in Ecuador, a problem that in Latin America is causing many families to leave their villages due to the drug wars. Her artwork is to be understood as an illusion of a happier, more peaceful world. The intense coloring and happy faces of the children depicted make it easy for me to follow the illusion, for a blink of an eye... Alex Maksiov, Kiev, Ukraine - Shelter Facebook * Instagram * Homepage It depends not only on the person himself whether his head can offer humanity a protective space, but also on his environment. Both have an impact on the situation. The ceiling and floor hold the concrete head captive. It stands for a person who has lost all humanity. This head can no longer offer protection to humanity that defective. But_cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b- 136bad5cf58d_ Everyone has to make their own decisions for or against humanity and thus protect their heads from external attacks. This work of art has a disturbing effect on me. I can't grasp it all at once. What is where? Where does it belong? Alex Weigandt, TUBUKU, Krefeld - Last man understanding Facebook * Instagram * Homepage This scene, which depicts a bar, seems dreamily unreal. It stands in stark contrast to the life situation in a bunker during wartime. People, guests with heads made of lightbulbs, these may stand for thoughts and ideas. Alex thinks back to his student days and plays with the transparency of the colors used, creating different lighting situations and exposing his figures to different life situations. In difficult life situations, bars often become a place where you can get help or at least a distraction. Sometimes the visit ends in alcoholic free fall, which many a bartender, as a supposed friend, likes to support. But what is reality? who is my friend Do I have a "real" friend? How necessary are social contacts? ... and where can I find them during the Corona period? For me, this question is particularly explosive at the moment. Maria Kudasheva, St. Petersburg, Russia - Shelter in my head Facebook During the war, a bunker was a protection for the life and limb of the population, but for mutual support it was also a place where one was/was locked up . Are we really free today in peace ? Maria wonders if you don't have your own prison in mind today, walls built around to protect one's mind from the abundance of information and outside influences? Rapid changes make it difficult for us to separate the important from the unimportant. Everything is in constant change. Can we come with you? What helps us keep track? Your plain person appears to be seeking this meditation. iVann Garc, Guanajuato, Mexico - Flexible battle Facebook iVann seemingly reverses the nature of war. With the little dark-skinned girl, his picture embodies the future of minorities. The soldiers, transformed into toys, stand for a possible peace in the world. For iVann, his Jewish great-grandfather, who fled from Berlin to Mexico as a Jew, exerted a strong influence . He knew little of his German family history. Only on his trip to Krefeld, during a street festival, did he find out that his family with the name 'Hirche' was wealthy and well-known in Berlin. What would have become of him if there had been no persecution of the Jews? Again, the nonsensical nature of violence and wars becomes clear, but also the inevitability. A steady cycle of power posturing, greed for profit, intolerance and arrogance. It repeats itself again and again, such as the relationship between the USA and Mexico. Floya Jam, Toulon, France - Le reve de Annabella Facebook Floya Jam posed for her niece in this beautiful color image. The little one plays peacefully and apparently completely relaxed in her own imaginative world. In her mind, butterflies fly freely around her. Floya Jam wants to express hope. Hope for a peaceful coexistence of all people. The sunflower in the background provides the vital light, symbolized by the little girl's peaceful face, which becomes the focal point of the magnificent blossom. The picture evokes calm in me as the viewer, lightness and peace. She describes this painting style, which is typical of Floya Jam, as improvisation in mediative painting flow. Danila Shmelev, Moscow, Russia, Fragility Facebook * Instagram Physical and psychological violence and aggression bother Danila (@SSHHOZZY). Hidden behind shredded paper, cardboard and plastic, an eye tries to find protection and security from just this. But paper offers no protection against these attacks. Danila himself was able to grow up without these bad influences, but he was not spared frightening examples. Achieving success through physical violence and aggression is possible, he says. But that can't be the right way, even though many people experience it every day. I am very touched by this delicately designed picture. It was only during editing that the individual inadequate protective devices became apparent to me layer by layer. Details that I didn't really notice when visiting the gallery. This picture speaks later... BeNer1, garbs, Germany - Bayeza abafana abancane Facebook * Instagram * Homepage Patrik Wolters aka BeNer1 looks back on more than 20 years of development in art and graffiti. For Krefeld, he has taken up the still current problem of political and social injustice in South Africa. Through his time in Johannesburg, where he and his girlfriend took photos in the township and offered a graphic workshop for children, he always stayed connected to the country and its problems. His picture shows there s South African township Gugulethu, which has suffered greatly from apartheid, from the point of view of the residents, not from that of the tourists. The mountains Table Mountain and can be seen in the background of the picture. The situation is framed by the national flower of South Africa, the protea. The main character is a boy with a red crown on his head, a stylistic device used in graffiti art to emphasize something special. This emphasis applies here in the very graphic depiction of a song text from 1989, the end of apartheid: "One man one vote" by Johnny Clepp & Savuka. Carlos Alberto, Guadaljara, Mexico - A future that breathes Facebook A young girl looks proudly and powerfully, still innocently, into a hopeful future. It is meant to symbolize a new generation, more confident than the previous one, in tune with the difficulties of the present and a realistic vision of the future. The beautifully colored birds, individually rather weak and fragile, symbolize the strength that can emanate from a group. Applied to humanity, the desire for togetherness becomes clear here, without differences of origin. Hope for a functioning shelter earth. Unfortunately some of the last pictures are missing. I wasn't able to look at them on the day of my visit. As a result, my report remains incomplete, the story does not find its end, at least not here. I hope to get another chance to look at the missing pictures. Add comment: (...) Did you like this report? Feel free to leave a comment :-).

Kiefernstraße I Graffiti I Streetart I Hausbesetzung I Düsseldorf I Kernpompetenz Kiefernstraße Düsseldorf, Kiefernstrasse - core competency resistance return The unexpected often happens. Or how a tip from a colleague turned into a passion. Since a young colleague was sufficiently aware of my passion for photography, I got the tip in spring 21 to take a look at the colorful street in Flingern-Süd. She also had a photo ready, a rainbow house. Well, as so often, I had my camera with me, the street is not far from the office and so I spontaneously drove to Kiefernstrasse on April 1st, 2021. Dort angekommen war ich ziemlich geflasht von of multiplicity, the color and the multitude of "colorful houses". With what felt like 1001 pictures in my luggage, I came home quite late that working day. But it was worth it. It all started with that first picture. A lot of supposedly special little things only struck me when I was editing the pictures on the PC. But who designed these houses so beautifully and why? Most houses Little by little, I delved deeper into the turbulent history of the Kiefernstraße to find out that there is much more to it than just a few "colorful houses". However, one by one ... Two special streets in Düsseldorf are also making a name for themselves beyond the city limits. The feudal shopping mile Königallee and, so to speak, as an alternative to it, the Kiefernstraße in the Flingern-Süd district, known among other things as the street of artists. The Kiefernstraße owes its degree of fame to the squatting in the 1980s and to its tireless resistance to the modern urban development plans of the city of Düsseldorf. Former squatters still live there today in regular tenancies. In the mid-1980s, Kiefernstrasse was associated with the RAF. Her eventful history coupled with her alternative way of life and her inflexibility towards the city administration give her and the residents of Kiefernstraße a special value. Even beyond the residential area, people identify with life and living in the Kiefernstrasse. This first information taken from "Doc Google" also makes a more intensive look at the entire history of the street extremely interesting for me as a "non-Düsseldorfer". Location: Located on the edge of Flingern-Süd, Kiefernstraße borders on Oberbilk. With the commercial areas and disused industrial plants all around, the Kiefernstraße looks like an island of residential development. Separated from other residential areas by 2 main roads, this street is an approx. 380 m long microcosm in which approx. 800 residents from up to 45 nationalities and the most diverse social affiliations have found a home. In the 19th century With industrialisation, the railway was also introduced in Düsseldorf, an important new means of transport. The first section connected the district of Gerresheim with the former main station at Graf-Adolf-Platz. The route crossed the Erkrather Straße and led over the Kiefernstraße. This was the first railway line in West Germany, the "Düsseldorf-Elberfelder Eisenbahn", which went into operation in 1838. The lower part of today's Kiefernstraße was then called Pfeilstraße. Around 1900 Connected the Kiefernstraße, which at that time was still called Ruhrtalstraße, the municipal gas works with the boiler forges, rolling mills and wire drawing works on Fichtenstraße and in Oberbilk. The Kiefernstrasse was inaugurated on September 30, 1902 to create modern living space close to work. Gradually, the development of company apartments followed. From 1908, the then Cologne company Kaiserstein AG built exemplary small apartments in the middle of the industrial conurbation with around 40,000 workers under the direction of the Düsseldorf architects Rudolf Wilhelm Verheyen and Julius Stobbe 21. The housing, built from a social point of view, should contribute to improving the social situation of the workers and their families . These were properties belonging to the operator of the neighboring boilermaker, Jacque Piedboeuf. Between 1908 and 1910 the houses Kiefern 1 - 37 and Kiefern 6 - 12 were built. The three houses Kiefern 14 - 18 were built by the "Düsseldorfer Bau- und Sparverein" at about the same time under the direction of the architect Fritz Hofmeister. But what exactly do these new social housing units mean? What made them so new and desirable for workers? The building description by the architect Verheyen provides information here. Among other things, he described the need for workers to have housing close to their place of work. Where many people are accommodated in a small space, it is all the more important to consider well thought-out logistics. As an absolute novelty, bathing facilities were made available in the administration buildings. In the basement, showers and tubs were installed in small, closed cells that were available to the tenants for little money. For example, a shower bath cost 5 pfennigs and a bath 10 pfennigs. A caretaker was hired for care and maintenance. Some of the self-contained apartment units had a separate toilet, which was usually behind the apartment entrance. As revolutionary as the new type of housing was, not all apartments had their own toilet. In many houses, several tenants shared a toilet, which was usually located halfway up the stairwell. Obviously not much has changed in this situation to this day. Such an administration house (probably the Düsseldorf company Eisen- und Drahtindustrie) may like the Badehaus in the Kiefernstr. to have been 4 Not particularly conspicuous in the row of houses, so occupiedan old photo from 1906 of its special importance. The picture could have been the opening ceremony of a restaurant or breakfast room. You can see the finely dressed-up tenant or operator family Allekotte, who, in addition to all sorts of physical well-being, also offered accommodation with meals and a shower bath in the courtyard. So everything that one could desire for well-being in the simple framework at that time. The facade of the pines 4 should still be largely preserved. House No. 4 currently houses the "Culture Bureau Pine Street" (K4) . With a revitalization of the Kiefernstraße in 1981, the grocery store run by the elderly Mr. Sobbek experienced an upswing again. For many years he has run this business with two saleswomen and a full range of products. He was able to continue his business for a while until his retirement, when he was greeted with a boozy celebration. Afterwards, the Greek tenants Jannis and Maria continued to run the food trade for a few years with a greatly reduced range. Friendly conversations and sometimes letters kept the good contact with the residents alive. After Jannis found a new field of activity as a pub owner in Bilk, Ricarda ran a kiosk for a while, which over time became a meeting place with outdoor seating whenever the weather permitted. After that, the premises stood empty for a long time. Until the "Kulturbureau Kiefernstraße 4" rented the premises to set up a gallery for exhibitions, readings and various art projects. This work was funded by the cultural office of the city of Düsseldorf. In January 2019, the team changed again. The focus of the old bathhouse was now on the meetings of the residents, for street meetings to continue the fight for affordable housing together. From time to time the premises are also to be used for extracurricular history lessons. So much for the story of the pines 4. The more recent history of the entire Kiefernstrasse is as eventful as it is enduring : After the Klöckner works, as the successor to the Düsseldorf iron and wire industry, closed their rolling mill on Fichtenstraße 40 (today's Zakk) in 1975 and sold them two years later together with the company apartment on Kiefernstraße to the city of Düsseldorf (property office of the city of Düsseldorf), work began like recent history. In 1977 the owner was the municipal housing association Düsseldorf (DÜWOGE), which offered residents a "lure bonus" of 1,000 DM if they would renounce their right to live on this street. Although affordable housing was still scarce, evictions began in 1977. The houses were gradually emptied and prepared for demolition by bricking up the windows and destroying the sanitary facilities. According to plans by the city of Düsseldorf, a new commercial area should be created here. The city council therefore decided in 1978 to formally designate Kiefernstrasse as a redevelopment area. As a result, the houses at Kiefern 7, 9, 35 and 37 were handed over to the social welfare office, which mainly housed African refugees. By 1981, more than 100 apartments had been abandoned by the former residents. However, the housing shortage was still great. In the summer of 1981, the city handed over 50 apartments in 4 buildings to the association "Aktion Wohnungsnot eV", founded in 1972, with the promise to make another 50 apartments available in September 1981. This promise was not kept. As a result, in the fall of 1981, another 50/60 apartments were occupied. Through the intervention of the "Wohnungsnot eV", the city legalized the squatting through usage contracts, but did not want to accept further squatting, since the living space was needed for refugees. In some of these apartments, mainly African refugees were accommodated by the social welfare office. Further occupations followed, against which approached the city with criminal charges of coercion and trespassing, and subsequently lost contact with the city. Together with the neighboring alternative communication center "ZAKK", over 600 signatures were collected from the residents, which were passed on to the city with the demand to rethink urban planning and leave the much-needed living space to the residents. The city didn't move, however. The residents began to organize themselves by means of house meetings and street plans and began to renovate the living space, which had been neglected for many years, on their own initiative. When squats were evicted throughout the city in 1982, some of the affected residents also moved to Kiefernstrasse. Only when the forces in the district council and in the council shifted in the course of local elections in 1984 were contacts with the city administration resumed, albeit hesitantly. Most of the asylum seekers were resettled and the houses at Kiefern 35 and 37 were rented out again. In 1985, the asylum seekers from houses 7 and 9 in Kiefern were also resettled. The following year these houses were also squatted. When RAF member Eva Sybille Haule-Frimpong was arrested at 4:30 p.m. in the Dolomiti ice cream parlor in Rüsselsheim on August 2, 1986, together with 2 residents of Kiefernstrasse, a major raid followed with 800 police officers in fast vehicles. The heavily armed special task force, equipped with visor helmets and bulletproof vests, stormed several apartments. They had waited the whole night before they got the news of the successful arrest in Rüsselsheim. The two companions, aged 23 and 27, were suspected of having been couriers for the Red Army faction and having connections to the militant core of the Düsseldorf squatter scene. After the name and place of residence of the two were known, access was possible. Terror investigators from the Federal Criminal Police Office searched Kiefern 1, where one of the men is said to have lived. As a result, the Kiefernstrasse became the center of attention in Germany. The arrest of Eva Haule and her companions was in connection with the assassination attempt on July 9th, in which the Siemens manager Karl Heinz Beckurts and his driver Eckhard Groppler were murdered. With Ms. Haule-Frimpong was a fully loaded, large-caliber SIG-Sauer pistol, which came from an RAF raid on a gun shop in Masdorf on November 5, 1984, as well as other ammunition and various forged ID cards. No weapons were found during the search of Kiefernstrasse, but vast amounts of documents were found. Over the next year there were repeated raids, demonstrations and large-scale police operations. The pine road was temporarily blocked by the police. By 1988, 6 residents of Kiefernstraße were arrested on suspicion of terrorism. From the then CDU General Secretary Helmut Linssen, the Kiefernstraße in the NRW state parliament as "Zentrum des terrorism in the BR 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ designated. After long debates and renewed squatting, it came about that in 1988 limited rental contracts could be concluded with all residents which were extended 10 years later. When the leases were due to expire in November 2008, the residents were strong again Photo Feb 1988: Werner Gabriel/Hans Jürgen Breuer - Montage: Krebs/Radousi - Permission to publish: Jon Blos Artistic appreciation At the beginning of the new millennium, the artistic upgrading of the Kiefernstraße slowly started. From 2003 the "Kulturbureau Kiefernstraße" began with the artistic implementation of the new house facades. The previously occupied houses with the odd numbers were gradually given a colourful, partly socially critical design in different stages in consultation and with the support of the house residents. The new look should match the flair of the Kiefernstrasse. In 2004 were created by the artist group"color fever" about Klaus Klinger under the motto "More beautiful living on the Kiefernstraße" the houses Kiefern 1 - 5 are colorfully designed. The painting extends from the corner house of Kiefernstraße/Fichtenstraße to the side of Fichtenstraße where the "ZAKK" is located at Fichtenstraße No. 40. In 2008 the "5 times 5" campaign started. Here 5 different houses are again elaborately painted under the aegis of Klaus Klinger. Gradually, the painting took place on the odd houses up to house no. 37. House no. 10 on the even side was painted in 2012 and with the "Afrikahaus" by Karsten Breidenbroich, the last house was painted in 2016. One must not forget the site fence, which is a place for artistic meetings at regular intervals. The special thing about the Kiefernstraße is shown in the fact that the street art and graffiti works of art are largely spared from external scribblings. Since 20 different houses own 20 different stories, you can find them in their numerical order here . At least as far as I can find out. In most houses, one or two pictures are not enough to convey the many pictures in the picture, symbols on the walls and ideas from the artists and residents. For this reason there is a small gallery for each house. At this point I would like to thank the artistKarsten Breidbroich Thank you for the friendly telephone interview, which gave me interesting insights into the "making of" the "Afrikahaus" (Kiefern 12). When looking at the pictures that the photographer Jürgen Wintermantel-Menze gave me permission to use, I have the feeling that I was there myself. The Gallic Village - core competence resistance this is how an article from March 5th, 2019 in Coolibri titled die Kiefernstraße. Because the Kiefernstrasse community sees itself just as defensively when it comes to preserving their living space. Here you will find an insight into the diverse activities of the Kiefernstraße community to preserve their living space, which they fought for with so much commitment: *Planwerkstadt378-HANDELN: CITY THINKING - Invitation to the participation process (... ) *For Social Urban Planning - Poor people get kicked out! No hotel construction (... ) *Flingern Can't be eaten - June 26th, 2019 meeting of the district representatives...(... ) *For A Rebellious City - Peace to the Shacks! War on the palaces! Demo (... ) *Statement on the current developments - protest is worth it! But: (... ) Progressive modern development of the surrounding commercial areas is currently putting the Kiefernstraße under pressure. The desire of various investors and project developers to build micro apartments and hotel complexes in the upper price range in the immediate vicinity has caused massive resistance from the residents of Kiefernstraße . Together with the rest of the district, the people have so far been quite successful in defending themselves against various misplannings in the city. For example, (as of 03/19) 140 student apartments are to be built for Cube Real Estate, both as single apartments and shared flats, as well as a hotel with 280 rooms and a day care center. Yesterday as today, the residents want to ensure that opportunities and space are created for all citizens, especially in their district. It is enormously important to them that not only people with higher incomes, but people from all social classes have adequate living space that they can pay for. Everyone should be able to live according to their preferences. There are no management consultants or lawyers here; artists, craftsmen, physiotherapists and musicians live here. People here know Susie from 12 or Ahmed from 35, the surnames seem to be of secondary importance. A lively neighborhood should be created and maintained, in which people can get to know each other if they like. Accepting each other and offering help when needed. Music and art should also be given space here. The residents want to actively participate in the political and cultural events in their city. They want to be able to determine their own interests. Participation in them important. The Kiefernstraße sees itself as a unique and progressive way of life and an example of functioning social interaction. They reconcile different life preferences and different cultural backgrounds in a socially acceptable way, so to speak. It has been recognized that different cultures and social statuses offer the opportunity to participate in one another. In this way, Kasper Michels, who was one of the first residents of Kieferstrasse, brings the lifestyle of Kiefernstrasse to life even for "non-Düsseldorfers". Its informative city walks he currently runs Corona compliant online. The Kiefern, as the residents of the Kiefernstraße like to call themselves, have an extremely autonomous residential community. Changes to the buildings are decided democratically. When repairs are needed, you first lend a hand before a caretaker is called. If apartments in the Kiefernstraße become available there, the community decides who can move in there. A basic rent for everyone ensures a piece social justice. The Kiefern organizes itself through various committees and working groups. They continue to decide on the design of the house facades. In this very difficult environment, there is a very high level of social competence. They think that people who can afford expensive hotels and apartments would not feel comfortable in this environment. They would be better off in other parts of the city. This is the statement of a resident who lived in Kiefernstraße for 2.5 years in 03/19. According to Kaspar Michels in an interview with Collibri, published March 5th, 2019, the planned large-scale construction projects are harmful to the identity of the entire Flingern district. People have fewer and fewer points of identity and anchor points that connect them with "their" district. It should not be about maximum economic utilization of building land. Rather, it must be ensured that, for example, working-class families can continue to find affordable housing in Düsseldorf. If this were barrier-free, that would also be an improvement, for example. The above resident also considers day-care centers and facilities for refugees and the homeless to be desirable for the pines. In tireless joint work, the residents have now found 3000 like-minded people in a signature campaign in 2019. Apparently, the district council has now given in. There were/are discussions with the parties involved, which were definitely perceived as pleasant and productive. But this story doesn't end there. It will continue to be written... But first, the 40th birthday will be celebrated in August 2021. You can be excited but also be sure that despite Corona, a special event will take place.

What might these creatures have in common? Artist info (...) Tiberio Infos Annotation : With this artist, too, one can see that he understood the difficult situation of the people on the theater square and that it depresses him, that he considers a visual representation to be necessary, even essential. The title comes from the artist himself. Artist information Tiberio Mazzoccchi Tiberio: "KOJOTE Street Art work made in KREFELD (Germany) July 2021freehand drawing Beuys' most emotional performance: In 1974 the artist was locked in a cage with a coyote in New York for several days. He only has a felt blanket and a stick, which he describes as "Eurasian". Beuys' goal was to establish a relationship of trust between himself and the animal, a symbol of reconciliation between man and nature, but the work can also be read in a political sense, as a rite of reconciliation between modern-day Americans and their persecuted ancestors and imprisoned on reservations, symbolized by the captive coyote. In my work entitled "COYOTE" I wanted to draw a parallel to Beuys' work and his political message: the marginalization of Native Americans. So I saw that things have not improved to this day.... the people who routinely roam this place called "The Silk Factory" are vagabonds, desperate, drug addicts.... Marginalized and forgotten by society, just like the Native American tribes of North America were persecuted and marginalized."

Twice in each of the 650 anniversary years, the whole of Krefeld will become a canvas for a week. Krefeld citizens were able to make suggestions for areas to be painted. These were lovingly and extremely creatively designed by around 20 national and international artists. Follow me now on a weather-independent tour through the somewhat more colorful velvet and silk city of Krefeld. (... ) Note to the © (... ) Björn von Schulz Björn von Schulz/Germany - Urban Art Gallery Krefeld 2023 Weiter Nordstr. 118, 47798 Krefeld (06.-11.08.23) The young woman and the lamb ... that's what I call this beautiful picture painted at Nordstr. 118 in Krefeld by Björn von Schulz from Münster, where he was born in 1978. As a designer, illustrator and graffiti artist, Björn von Schulz quickly recognized his passion for figurative drawing and painting As he also had the talent for this style of painting, he quickly gained recognition in the scene. As a founding member of the artist collective and later creative agency "Studio Egotrips", Björn was able to prove his talent and intention. In 2015 he gave up the agency artist's life and embarked on new paths of his own. This allowed him to concentrate fully on his own art, his own "way of art". His art has been on display at home and abroad for over 20 years. Björn has also made a name for himself with various publications. He has only been painting murals and participating in various festivals since 2019. Even though photographing this picture was a bit special again, as I had to block the road from time to time, this picture radiates calm and thoughtfulness for me. The woman, who is no longer quite young, seems to be wearing a kind of "shepherdess" costume. Surrounded by green branches, I perceive a closeness to nature or a return to nature. In 2015, von Schulz left his familiar paths, the agency life, and concentrated fully on his art. He has been exhibiting his work in Germany and abroad for over 20 years now and regularly appears in various publications. Since 2019, there has been an increased focus on wall works and painting at festivals. Quellen: Artist Profile - Bjoern von Schulz - YoungArt, Björn von Schulz , Stadt Bibliothek Rheine 2022 Julia Bethke/Germany - Urban Art Gallery Krefeld 2023 Weiter Tannenstr. 42, 47798 Krefeld (06.-11.08.23) Julia Bethke discovered her creative interest and artistic talent in her youth. It quickly became clear that she would follow this career path.She then completed her training as a stage painter at the Theater & Philharmonie Essen as part of a 3-year apprenticeship, where she learned a wide variety of techniques. Essen is the third location in Germany for this training, alongside Berlin and Baden-Baden. (I love this theater and have seen many performances there over a long period of time and was always impressed by the unconventional, unusual stage and costume design). She completed her compulsory internship at the Deutsche Oper am Rhein in Duisburg. She was totally "flashed" at the interview when she realized that she would have to learn many new things and techniques in this job. Her enthusiasm and passion for "her art" enabled her to successfully complete this demanding, creative school. She soon realized that the profession of stage painter has long since been just about "swinging brushes", but that larger projects also require manual skills and dexterity and that you always have to get stuck in and lug things around. (...) Huge backdrops and floors often have dimensions that exceed a normal apartment size, which is obviously exactly Julia Bethke's thing, who always goes about her work with perfectionism. Like many creative people, the fact that you can see what you have created is an important factor in her professional fulfillment. The Rheinisches Landtheater Neuss, the Theater Dortmund and the Theater für Niedersachsen in Hildesheim have been further stations in her professional career. As an employee in these theaters, she not only designed stage sets as illusion and imitation paintings, but also gave furniture, floors and walls a new creative outfit. She has also embellished large backdrops with her special style of painting. You can find some impressive examples of her creativity on her homepage . In addition to theater projects, she also shows various interior embellishments with a detailed making off as well as some private paintings. She has been working freelance since summer 2021. In times of the corona epidemic, she took the plunge into the cold water of self-employment and began to develop her own brand. "JueLIEBE" became her creative trademark. She likes the name Juelie, she tells Esther Jansen in the Kredo interview, which her uncle had given her earlier. By adding the first two letters of her surname, she came up with her stage name "JuLIEBE". She loves to create illusions. She is able to recreate tiles, wood, asphalt, rust or marble in a lifelike way. In her opinion, anything you can imagine can be imitated. A very valuable skill in her creative work, in my opinion. Using spray cans, spatulas, rollers and lots of brushes, she now carries out a wide variety of commissioned works, e.g. in schools and restaurants, from the initial idea to the final execution. In this way, she transports the viewer into her own colorful world. In 2021, she left an impressive reminder for nature as part of the Silk City Gallery Krefeld with a contribution about bees. In an interview with Esther Jansen, published in Kredo on 02.09.22, it becomes clear, among other things, that colors and textures are not only her profession but also her vocation. Her home is a reflection of her colorful passion. She has lived in Krefeld with her partner since 2020 and has made Krefeld a little more beautiful in many places with her art. Further details can be found in the Kredo interview from 02.09.22.

After emigrating from Israel, she settled in the USA/Houston and found her true calling in painting. Over the years, she has created countless works of art in the USA and all over the world on various media, such as walls, floors, canvases, practically anything that can carry color. She has painted in Western Australia, China, India, Israel, the Netherlands, Germany, Great Britain and, of course, Canada and the USA. She speaks fluent English, Hebrew and Spanish. In the course of her eventful career, she has also won many awards and prizes. As the multidisciplinary artist Anat considers herself to be, she is not only able to earn a living with her versatile art, she also participates in national and international street painting and street art festivals. After the Wood Art Gallery in 2015 and the Rhine Side Gallery in 2017, the exceptional artist Anat Ronen will be back at the anniversary Urban Art Gallery in 2023. (... ) Anat weite lesen She brought us a special piece of art. As she told me, she has been collecting orphaned family photos for a while now. Among other things, she buys old photos on eBay that no one is interested in or where there are simply no more descendants. At festivals where she doesn't have to deliver commissioned work, she breathes personality and life into these pictures for a while. By painting these pictures large on walls, they become visible to the viewer. Everyone knows the small moments in such pictures, has perhaps experienced similar ones or remembers their own, almost forgotten encounters and feelings. In this way, the orphaned pictures receive renewed attention and are not forgotten. When I took my photos of the Helios wall a few days ago, similar thoughts crossed my mind. I also have family memories of similar situations. "It's not how long you wait, but who you wait for." (Some like it hot, 1959)" However, I could only really grasp Anats Ronen's intentions after she kindly explained her motives for the Krefeld pictures to me. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Anat once again for her input, which makes her pictures even more vivid. Forgive me for the intense play of light and shadow, which made it impossible to achieve a uniform exposure of her pictures. I actually wanted to take new pictures with fewer shadows at another time, but then decided against it because it is precisely this play of light that gives the pictures a life of their own. My own representation of these pictures has emerged in the course of editing, has been approved by Anat Ronan and shows a little of my perception of her art. Source: Anat Ronan personally Krefeld im Oktober 23 fabio fedele/Italien - Urban Art Gallery Krefeld 2023 Seyffardtstraße - Wand Helios, 47805 Krefeld (06.-11.08.23) Weiter Fabio Fedele was in Krefeld for his first European project since 2017 on the occasion of the Urban Art Gallery 2023 to mark Krefeld's 650th birthday. Fabio explains that it doesn't really matter to him whether he puts his art on the walls of his own front door, the neighbor around the corner or in a distant country. It is important to him what he paints and that this painting is in a good relationship with its surroundings. Corona has changed a lot. International projects mean an enormous amount of energy, work and costs for the artist. Financially, these projects offer no profit, rather the opposite. While he still took part in international festivals about every two years before Covid, he now sees much less incentive to travel to these events. Not least because street art projects are currently springing up like mushrooms. In order to "do his thing", to live his art, he no longer needs to travel internationally. (... ) Fortunately, he received an invitation he couldn't refuse and could be sure of the support of his better half. In Krefeld, the introverted loner was able to work on his art with old friends and make new ones, immortalizing the enchanting world of elves in their natural environment on the dreary wall of Helios Hospital. According to him, he was able to use his stay in the silk city of Krefeld to learn, observe and discover new perspectives. When you hear that the journey back to his Italian homeland took 18 hours, and when you consider the sometimes bad weather during the "painting days", you can empathize with the artist how happy and relieved he was to be back home with his better half and his small human and furry family. A big thank you to the conscious "better half", who was probably instrumental in the fact that we Krefeld residents can now call a whole cheerful elfin family our own. It took 4 pictures to capture all the magical, young, mostly female mythical creatures. They seem to feel very much at home among the magical, colorful flowers and all kinds of creepy-crawlies. Visitors and patients of the Helios Clinic, as well as people hurrying past in Krefeld, can enjoy the magic of the fairy world for a moment, if they can find the time to follow the art of the Italian free spirit. Vita: Fabio Maria Fedele comes from Rovigo, northern Italy, near Venice. There he graduated in "History and Conservation of Architectural and Environmental Heritage", followed by a degree in Architecture. Having discovered his passion for drawing as a child, he developed his skills in many different areas. He has been working as a street artist since 1993 and added the 3D field in 2006. He has achieved the highest artistic titles awarded in Italy. These include "Maestro Madonnaro" in Grazie di Curtatone and "Magister Madomnaris" in Nocera Superiore. Although he mainly works as a street artist in northern Italy, he has also painted in Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, the Netherlands, Slovenia, Spain, the United Arab Emirates and the USA. He also works as an illustrator in archaeological museums. An extremely versatile artist. Source: Fabio Fedele personally Krefeld im Oktober 23 Cuboliquido/Italien - Urban Art Gallery Krefeld 2023 Weiter Seyffardtstraße - Wand Helios, 47805 Krefeld (06.-11.08.23) Cuboliquido tells us that from the 16th century onwards, Italian street painters roamed the country to capture people's attention with expressive, sacred images in front of churches. As the materials used, such as chalk and pastel, were very perishable due to the weather, it has only been possible to preserve these images for posterity since the invention of photography. The cheerful robot at the entrance to the Seidenweberhaus has an easier time of it. For the time being, its preservation is assured, even if it patiently bears the garbage of "forgetful" contemporaries (... ) For some 20 years now, anamorphic street painting has also been making inroads in Italy. This 3D chalk art, now also known as 3D street painting, enhances street painting enormously, as it produces extremely realistic moments. The viewer is automatically drawn into a lifelike scene, most impressively if he or she pays attention to the specific point from which the picture is to be viewed. Here, too, you have to walk back and forth along the wall of the Helios Clinic until you find the perfect spot, hoping that a parked car is not occupying it. Cuboliquido was born in Milan in 1974. He has been making a living from his art since 1992 and discovered his passion for street art in 1994. First as a graffiti artist and later as a traditional Madonnari artist (street painting of traditional Madonna images and religious motifs with pastels). Today, two of his Madonnari artworks are exhibited in a basilica in Bethlehem and in Mexico City. Since 2009, he has focused particularly on anamorphic 3D street painting and has participated in many international street art festivals, where he has won numerous prizes. He has presented his paintings across Europe, in Russia, the USA, Latin America, Thailand, China, the Middle East and South Africa. He has worked for many well-known companies such as Disney, Universal Cinema, Amazon, Coca Cola, Samsung, Unilever, Warner Bros and many more. To date, he has participated as a street painter in over 200 events of various kinds. He is the first artist to combine 3D street painting with animated videos (video mapping) and his work has been shown at three different art biennials and other contemporary art exhibitions. He was awarded the title of Maestro Madonnaro in Grazie die Curtatone and in March 2017 he won first prize in the world's most important competition for 3D street art in Dubai.

For the Krefeld Urban Art Festival 2023, he has conjured up a powerful, jumping horse with an Amazon on the wall above the Krefeld restaurant "Schümli". After the first photos I took there and a very nice, if unfortunately not very informative conversation with the team and guests of the Schümli, I got some information about his art from Ruben himself. A big thank you to Ruben at this point. Ruben doesn't give an explanation of his painting as he doesn't want to make a specific statement for the viewer. Instead, he approaches a new work of art more intuitively by familiarizing himself with the ground that is to be painted, looking at the people, the neighbourhood and the city. He looks to see if there are any local stories, myths or similar that can give him a feeling for the wall. He himself calls his painting "Hope & Liberty". As he likes action very much, he has chosen a jumping horse here. A horse jumps in a fraction of a second. Ruben wanted to bring this effect of frozen time, the paused moment, closer to the viewer. The horse was quickly given a rider, in this case a female rider. It is possible that the Lorelei legend inspired him to create this lady, but it could also be a classic depiction of a female figure with a torch, which could stand for independence and freedom. But as Ruben says, the interpretation is up to the viewer. He is interested in the action and a source of light that gives the picture an "inner light" and a feeling outside of reality. (... ) Ruben Poncia paints graphically, not photorealistically. He paints with brushes and creates the shapes of his pictures through the direction of his brushstrokes. The physical nature of the wall and the surroundings are largely decisive for his works. He creates his sketches in black and white, the colors are then supposed to blend in with the surroundings. When I post-processed my photos, the colors seemed a little pale and dark. After reading about Ruben's working methods and looking at the wall again, I now perceive the colors as absolutely fitting into the surroundings. As the time that artists have for a painting is limited, a project like this quickly becomes a sport. The artist's ideas, his own physical condition and the changing weather make the whole thing a challenge. In addition, there is the operation of the lift, sufficient fuel and whatever else may be required. The artist gives his all every day to stay on schedule. In his email to me, Ruben thanks the Krefeld team once again, who, like all the other artists, gave him great support in all matters. He also had fond memories of the people in the neighborhood. He had to fetch a bucket of water from the "Schümli" a few times, was warmly welcomed there and was happy about any kind of communication with people passing by. Some complimented him, some probably expressed negative opinions. But for Ruben Poncia, all of this falls under satisfactory communication. And so, in my opinion, street art has done its job of creating art in public space for the public. While I was photographing, people kept coming to see what I was doing, only to see the picture they hadn't seen before. These brief moments of communication are also important to me, as they are always a contact with the outside world, however brief.

He lived there in Huarte and Vitoria and in Germany in Göttingen, Bremen and Rheinberg. As soon as he grew up, he began to beautify the streets with his art not only in his home city of Pamplona, but also in numerous other cities, including Barcelona, Milan, Turin, Göttingen, Berlin and many more. With his special feeling for street art, he has won numerous prizes at Spanish and Basque graffiti and street art festivals. (... ) His art is characterized by the special combination of his urban roots, visible through tattoos and graphic design, and 3D art. The term "Corte", which translates as "cut" in German, can be found as part of his artist name. This is how his artistic activity developed from various art genres such as graphic design, classical art and graffiti. He works freelance in the fields of wall art, decoration, illustration, fine art and graphic design. This is Jabi's first time at a street art festival in Krefeld and he has chosen an extremely "hot" time for his painting. Even though you would expect a native Spaniard to be relatively tolerant of heat, I was able to see for myself how exhausting it was to work in these temperatures. His painting for Krefeld is entitled "Arantxa eta Agustín, beti gogoan". According to the artist, it is a tribute to his aunt Arantxa and his uncle Augustin, whose ashes the family laid to rest under a gingko tree planted especially for them. An unusual and yet loving presentation. The two, aunt and uncle, depicted as astronauts, floating, without recognizable faces, yet delicately glowing, can thus evoke the idea that they are always with their loved ones. Somewhere out there, in a place beyond our imagination ....

True to detail, special and yet somehow similar, they show the artist's personal development. Viewers are given the opportunity to immerse themselves in Stefan's world of art and share in his artistic development. To recognize how intuition and attention to detail merge and offer insight into the painter's artistic core. Experimenting with different styles and mediums, he not only explores his own identity, but also offers the inclined viewer access to multiple emotions and expressions of human beings. In this way, people who take a moment to look at these multifaceted faces can be inspired to make their own experiences with human emotions and, ideally, to better recognize their own I and understand its flexibility.

He is one of the founding members of the Ma'Claim Crew. His works are photorealistic and depict the power of movement through the representation of hands. Hands in many variations and connections or touches. Having started painting in 1995, Chase Maclaim has exhibited his work in more than 20 countries. In these countries, he leaves behind his very personal, powerful handshake. His corresponding hands leave the impression that movement and at the same time unity are symbolized by these very hands. Chase wants this interference to be perceived not only on a physical level, but also in the social and political sphere. He uses these hand gestures, which are understood by everyone, to clarify his intentions. It is often the gesture that says more than 1000 words. His hands, or rather his hand gesture for Krefeld, are borrowed from sign language and, if you look at these hands from top to bottom, stand for the term "home". He sees the uniqueness of hands, hands that connect people. With this campaign, he wants to draw attention to the limitations of physically impaired citizens. He once painted a wheelchair user looking down at passers-by. After this gesture was positively received by the wheelchair user, he really became aware of the relevance of this topic. I perceive this description as a change of perspective, a change in the levels on which wheelchair users and people on foot move. While writing these lines, I had to think about it for a while, just leave this little report as it was and took another look at his Instagram account under this premise. It's worth it, take a look :-) (... ) Quellen: URBAN Nation , streetartcities.com Krefeld im Oktober 2023 Info Urban Art Gallery Krfeld 2023 Weiter Info weiter lesen Some of the artists are old acquaintances who have already taken part in previous projects. Others are newcomers who have come to beautify the former silk city of Krefeld. This year, the focus was on large areas that are suitable for providing residents and visitors to the city with new perspectives. To this end, citizens submitted proposals for areas to the collective betont.es in advance. The proposed areas were checked for their suitability and then the owners were approached. The owners, who in my opinion have experienced great added value for their properties as a result of this campaign. Despite the supposedly summery season, the artists and their teams had to contend with adverse, i.e. wet, conditions from time to time. However, during my photo tours in glorious weather after the end of the campaign, there was no sign of this. On the contrary, I sometimes had to contend with a little too much sun in front of the lens. Since 20 artists have created a lot of art and I want to treat each subject with a certain amount of care, I will upload the pictures here one by one, without taking into account the date of creation, with a little background information. Contrary to my original plan to upload all the pictures in one gallery, I have decided to create a separate section for each artist for a better overview, which can then be selected individually in the menu. As I sometimes find simply taking photographs too boring and many other photographers do the same, I sometimes allow myself to interpret the images myself. This is actually very much in the spirit of urban art, namely interpreting it according to your own ideas. Just let the pictures have an effect on you. I have linked the Instagram accounts under the artist's name. Finally, a note on copyright. I have carefully compiled the information on this topic and basically on all topics on this site and noted the respective sources. In addition to Internet research, I have spoken to artists, written to them and sometimes met them in person to gather information on the respective topic. Even though this is a private site, it contains my work and I regard it as my intellectual property. In principle, there is nothing to stop you from using this information for your own purposes, but please cite the source. Unfortunately, in addition to visual and linguistic elements, I have recently found individual pieces of information that are very similar to mine in third-party publications. I assume that these are purely coincidental, unintentional similarities and will not occur again. So, with this in mind, just drop by from time to time. I look forward to seeing you.

Artist info (...) Annotation: When I visited again, I struck up a conversation with an elderly lady. I explained this picture to her as far as I could. When considering whether the horse would probably also be rolled over by the tidal wave or whether it is safe because it is part of nature, we came to no conclusion. After a moment's thought, she explained to me very confidently that where the horse was, the frame was still intact and that there was definitely a place where we could go to safety. Well, I haven't looked at the picture that way. But it was an interesting conversation, especially to see/hear how other visitors interpret a certain picture. So this art in urban space has already fulfilled its purpose. Infos Marion R. Artist information Marion Ruthardt Marion Ruthardt: "The narrow framework is the framework of industry and civilization, which nature ultimately cannot hold. It will break out at some point, as can be seen from the floods at the moment. The horse is also a part of nature, which breaks out. And ultimately the more staying power, when humanity has already wiped itself out, nature is still there. All signs point to the fact that nature has really had enough now. So the ship has to be turned 180 degrees now. In my opinion, it will don't work." Source: Marion Ruthard: personal * * * Marion Ruthhardt , born in Rheinhausen, was introduced to art early on, through a father who drew and the first art teacher, Volkram Anton Scharf. That's why she quickly switched to the field of nature and art after the classic basic education (high school, Abitur, higher commercial school). First she trained as a gardener in Kevelaer, near the city of Geldern, where an international street painting competition takes place every year. She only took part there for fun. Later, as an autodidact, she continued to develop in such a way that her passion for painting became her profession. In Geldern she rose to the master class and won a number of street painting competitions in Italy, Bodenwerder and Wilhemshaven. First as a classic copyist - but for several years now only anamorphic images have been in demand. This leads to orders from all over the world. Together with the street painter Gregor Wosik, she created numerous XXL 3d pictures and even received an entry in the Guinness Book of Records with a street painting of 750 m². She also helped with the creation of an XXL Megalodon Shark in Florida together with many other international artists to set a new world record. Since 2019 she has also been creating many individual works of art, which has given rise to new ideas and paths for her. Since then, to her great delight, there have been more and more commissions for facade and wall painting as well as for the design of electricity boxes, which helped her during the difficult time of the pandemic for artists and has aroused her interest as a new experience Source: official information ofCity of Krefeld You can find the newspaper report here:(...)

During further research on the Internet, I then learned that this art movement actually wanted to differentiate itself from many things, including Cubism. Since in my opinion one cannot write any reports about it without a well-founded basic knowledge in artistic matters, I will leave it with the words below from Michele, who was kind enough to send me his intention for his picture. I just like it very much and I don't need more words on this. You can find a few thoughts and feelings in thepicture series . Michele : "Hello Kerstin, this is a copy of Depero, a futuristic painter of the 1930s. The picture is a homage to Beuys, who as a teacher instructs his students like the gondolier does with his trainee. Kind regards, Michele" Source: Michele Buscio personally * * * From Reichelsheim (Odenwald) Michele Buscio originally comes from Molise (central Italy). He fell in love with a German woman in 1985 and has lived in Germany ever since. Since retiring from work, he has been engaged in painting. He is self-taught and has developed into a plaster painter over the years. He has already taken part in various festivals in Germany, Italy, France, the USA and Mexico.

One cannot exist without the other." ©Irina Rathmann Two in one interpreted by Camilla Margarito. Artist information (...) Artist Information Camilla Margarito Info Camilla Camilla says of herself that she finds it a little difficult to put into words the thoughts and associated emotions that surround us. That is why she loves art in its various forms. Words can be unclear. You have too many limits. Her pictorial composition for the Seidenweberhaus came about out of a certain curiosity. She doesn't want to show a work of art "carved in stone", but to illustrate simple considerations. The figure of the Siamese twins is unusual, especially the shape of a vase with two necks. Depicted and beautifully worked out, she has the beautiful similarities of the two forms. Camilla Margaret had f For her "little" picture, the idea of starting with these two brothers who have to master their lives as Siamese twins in one body. She wondered to what extent a symbiotic relationship can be perceived between the two. What level of organization and, above all, how much respect and understanding is required to live well and not invade the thoughts and freedoms of others in such a limited "space". In the case of the Siamese, it is nature that acts, and nature would likely endow these two people with infinite love and a boundless sense of oneness to enable them to handle life in the best possible way. But what would emerge in society, in family relationships, in work relationships, in all those close relationships where we can't choose our "fellow" people? Camilla wanted to present these relationships in a positive development. For them it is a numbers game. (From 1 + 1 = 1 or after all 2?) She then speaks of an encounter with the will to understand one another on deeper levels. Of an encounter aimed at a fair and mutual relationship that can manifest itself in an embrace, striving for mutual unity. This unity can also be represented by the vase with the two necks. She sees this vase as an object that, despite its fragility, shows stability and strength. This vase would show unity and diversity at the same time. In this part of the picture, she continues her game with the numbers. *For the design of the amphora, I took my inspiration from a ceramic from theGumelnite culture from the period 4500-4300 BC. be inspired." The considerations give her picture idea enormous strength, as she tells the person behind the camera with beaming eyes. Here one sees a possibility that society can learn from its "small" picture to organize itself too carefully in order to ultimately be able to live better together. Sources: Video krefeld.de, Camilla Margerito Annotation : At this point, thanks to Camilla for explaining her picture. Even if we viewers should (or should) have our own thoughts about urban art, I always find it enriching/complementing when the artist gives something of his own intention to the viewing path. * * * Camilla Margaret is a sculptress, Illustrato rin and street artist from Puglia, who now lives and works in Berlin. She studied at the Art Academy in Lecce (Puglia) in southern Italy and moved to Berlin in 2012, where she creates sculptures in plaster, wood and mixed media, ink drawings, prints and paintings in search of an original artistic language. In the last 10 years she has participated in various street painting festivals in Italy, France and Germany, often creating street paintings and murals together with her partner Martino Larocchia.

Urbexart I Informationen Schlaraffia Crefeldensis I Schlaraffenburg I Krefeld I Männerbund I Humor I Freundschaft I Kreativität I Et Klöske I Kreative Fotografie I Bild Dokumentation I Historie I Geschichte I Samara Blue I Dreamtime Information Schlaraffia Crefeldensis registered association Infos Schlaraffen weiter lesen return Schlaraffenburg in the historic Krefeld Stadtbad This magnificent room used to be the relaxation room for the Roman-Irish bath in the old Krefeld municipal baths. On the left side there were 19 dressing rooms, in the middle of the room there was a long table with chairs, on the right side there were washbasins. The coffered barrel vault gives the room size and presence. After 20 years of slumber, this once magnificent relaxation room of the old Roman-Irish steam bath served as a castle for the Schlaraffia Crefeldensis e*. But nothing lasts forever and so one day the lords had to conquer a new castle. Relocation from the old Krefeld Stadtbad to "Et Klöske" At the beginning of the 2nd millennium there was a plan to establish a noble Italian restaurateur for the relaxation room of the former Roman-Irish bath in order to improve the reputation of the building. That didn't work out in the end, but the creative knights still had to look for a new place to stay, for a new castle. The "Et Klöske" in Krefeld-Uerdingen, which was also getting on in years, was first mentioned in 1403 as the "Zum Sankt Michael" hospital and has since had a varied historystory looking back was apparently looking for a new owner at the time. The city needed money and thanks to good connections, negotiations with the Krefeld men's league could begin. There should be long negotiations at the end of which you can decide on a purchaseleasehold could agree. So the Schlaraffen pay 25 years to the city. The city is still registered in the land register, but Schlaraffia Crefeldensis eV has the status of owner and is responsible for the building. But first of all there was an extensive restoration and consideration of monument protection aspects, which the brave knights managed to do on their own. At that time, the city valued the costs incurred at DM 250,000, of which around DM 130,000 was labor costs. These costs were partly made available by the members. Approximately 70% later waived the complete repayment of the loan. From my point of view, it is a sign of the well-founded, sustainable cohesion of the men's association that it sees itself as a community that cares for each other and not just as a "fun club". More BEING than APPEARING. The skylights of the relaxation room and, after consultation with the monument protection, also the magnificent ceiling chandelier, which the knight's hall in "Et Klösken" at thekinships * certainly appears in a wonderfully warm light and gives a little romantic chivalrous mood in this listed former hospital. Particular attention is paid to the sacco painting in the apse. In order to protect the sensitive painting, Makrolon panels were placed in front of it. The missing parts of the painting were copied as authentically as possible by an artist. The knights of Schlaraffia Crefeldensis have found a new worthy castle, a home, in Uerdingen am Rhein with the historic building of "Et Klöske". Story: In 1859 theater people, artists and writers founded the men's association Schlaraffia in Prague. After the director of the Deutsches Theater, Franz Thomé, tried to introduce a young bass player named Albert Eilers to the Prague artists' association "Arcadia", this request was rejected. Because of his poverty, he was considered a proletarian. Court singers and actors did not belong to higher society at that time. The men's association Schlaraffia was brought into being as a pastiche of the elite men's clubs of the 19th century . They mocked the very authoritarian society with deliberate satire and parody and made fun of it. They shifted their terminology to the 16th century and became knights, squires and squires. Officially there is no connection to the Freemasons, one clearly distinguishes oneself from the carnival associations. The term Schlaraffen is based on the Middle High German word “slur-affe”, which means mischievous prankster/joker (16/17 century) but also carefree connoisseur. In 1859 the first Cockaigne Club was founded in Prague, which at that time still belonged to the Danube Monarchy. The propagation of the Schlaraffen took place by so-calleddaughter reyche * instead of. In the years 1938/39 the clubs in which many Jews were members were banned in Germany and Austria. In Switzerland and overseas continued to be foundkinships * instead of. After the end of the Second World War, the club system revived and there were a few new foundations. According to statements by the gentlemen from Krefeld, the originally high level of educational demands on the members has been put into perspective somewhat over the past 30 years. General: To this day, men of all professions as well as professional artists and arm artisans have access to this association. There are around 270 Schlararaffen clubs worldwideReyche* named, who adhere to the same rules and procedures. The worldwide language is German. The approximately 11,000 members hold friendly values very high, they are extremely tolerant and friendships can be cultivated worldwide. The Schlaraffen speak German all over the world. The whole of the Reyche is thateagle owl * With the Schlaraffen everyone can live out their creative passion and just have fun. Emerging from the ranks of the actors, who mostly had engagements in the winter months, the weekly meetings took place and take place in the winter months (wintering *) (01.10.-30.04. northern hemisphere, 01.04.-30.10. southern hemisphere) instead. In the summer, events also take place with the women and children. The weekly meetings will bekinships * named. Characterized by a medieval-romantic atmosphere, knighthood is parodied and "man" can escape his everyday life for a moment in the game. The Schlaraffenburg is decked out in the style of a knight's hall, and the members dress in knightly fashion during their meetings. eachReych * has its own costume here in its own colors. Black, gold and blue are the colors of the local Cockaigne. The swords are mostly made of wood. They give themselves fancy names, but they are not just made up out of thin air, but always have a charming, sophisticated reference to the person and their idiosyncrasies or preferences. For example, the inner cockerel is called "Ritter Binschon vom bömisch Glase" because he (Rochus von Meyrswalden) already has a real knight's title. The dress code is a "neat" outfit with a tie. The knight's cloak is worn over it. A knightly headgear and a wooden sword complete the outfit. If you look at photos, you can see here and there quite colorful trousers or somewhat more profane shoes. Real daily life is not completely suppressed. As mentioned at the beginning, the aim and motto of the association is:The art of enduring friendship with humor. Politics and religion are in thekinships * deliberately left out. A Schlaraffe approaches his fellow knights with a positive basic attitude and organizes the evenings together with a wink, i.e. not with animal seriousness. So that an order can be maintained, the Oberschlaraffe is considered infallible. The weekly evenings are experienced as a cheerful knightly game and consist of different creative presentations. This can be a musical presentation, a recited poem that does not necessarily have to come from your own pen. A discussion can also be initiated, which does not necessarily have a deeper meaning, but is similar to an exchange of blows according to fixed rules, similar to a duel in a figurative sense. The vivid descriptions ofKnight Binscho n there is a knight who is able to spontaneously lead a heated discussion in rhymes. That was amazing for me, because I went into this interview without any precise ideas or expectations. This is how the statement of theintelligent nonsense , which the knights have written on their flag, for me as an outside woman an easily understandable meaning. One likes to practice the art of beautiful words. The speech duel begins with atit for tat *, you symbolically throw the glove in front of the opponent's stomach. The topic is determined by the Oberschlaraffe and the speech and counter-speech takes their creative, sometimes certainly eloquent course. According to the gentlemen, it can come from "stick to stick" and back again. The main thing is that there are no arguments and that fun and joy in beautiful words and intelligent nonsense are not lost sight of. The winner of the speech duel is determined at the end by the Oberschlaraffen. "The Golden Ball" has to fly, which means that as many cockerels as possible are included in the creative process, be it verbal or musical. The motto "Everyone can, nobody has to" applies. Own works are called fencing*, works by other authors are lectures. Anyone looking for the exacttypical course of a sipping * interested, read here. As a Cockaigne you are a welcome guest in every Reych in the world. Sassen with jobs that involve traveling have contact points in many places and can travel to the local as guest routeskinships * take part. You then ride there and are received by the local warriors with raised swords, the tunnel. I was impressed by the men's statements as to why the meetings and life as a member of a/this men's association is so important to them. Above all, it is the social component that keeps the gentlemen together. Naturally, there is a high proportion of seniors who live in theirReych * experience a community that gives each of them the attention and respect that is so important for humans. Many a widowed or single gentleman finds adequate social contacts here in a protected space. Anyone can present something, but does not have to. At the end of the lecture there is a badge (called "ancestors" in Cockaigne language) and a handshake as recognition. What happens when a cockerel on the rostra (lectern) falls in love with his fencing or lecture too much and runs out of time? Quite simply, he is given a large pair of scissors, beholdpicture series , the word literally “cut off” and he must stop immediately, also must not be offended. That's part of the silly game. The attention of everyone, however, is certain to be given to the speaker, and he is also shown respect and deference. The creative "machinations" certainly encourage the gentlemen to improve their skills in playing the piano, etc., in order to be able to continue to fox*` in a happy atmosphere. Even those who are older don't rest like that for a long time. The gatherings were sorely missed, especially during the pandemic. Since most men should now be vaccinated due to their age, they can, of course, in compliance with the current hygiene ruleskinships * take place again. In my opinion, this shows again that the motto "BEING more than APPEARANCE" applies here and not the other way around, as is often the case with "Appearance than being". Women: If you are wondering why there are no women in this game, you have to keep two reasons in mind. On the one hand, the jousting takes place true to the medieval template. There the women did not play a "role" in the knight games. The second reason can be seen in the value of friendship among men. To put it simply, friendship between men is different, perhaps easier without the female component. The men are not distracted in their game and cannot become rivals for the favor of a fair damsel. You don't have to worry about how your actions might affect the lovely femininity, who might come across better. However, women are not fundamentally excluded from the events. The value of the female environment is definitely seen. Therefore, soon after the founding, it was included in the statutes that in thewintering * a clanship with women of the castle has to take place. Also at many other festivals in thesummer sun G * Not only women, but also families are welcome. During this visit, I saw a very lively, intellectually demanding group of men. An association in which human and social values such as friendship and humour, but also tolerance and respect are lived and upheld. They may appear a little gaudy and whimsical to the casual observer, but I'm sure this club has an appropriate value in our fast-moving world.

My report is intended to convey a personal impression as an outsider and perhaps arouse curiosity about the values that are represented there. But he is far from treating the subject comprehensively and conclusively. There are enough other sources here to deal comprehensively with the topic. For me, however, it was an exciting experience, above all because I was treated with respect and openness as a completely unknown person. In my opinion, that only speaks for the Schlararaffen!
