Street Art I Krefeld I TUBUKU I Lifestyle I Graffiti I Design I Urbex Art Street Art - TUBUKU return "Give the world color and it won't see black anymore" TUBUKU, these areYaroslav "Jarek" Masztalerz andAlex Weigandt . Jarek immigrated from Poland and Alex from Kazakhstan, both 35 years old are brothers in spirit and in artistic conception. They spent their youth together in Monheim. You can find out more here (...) in progress Voltaplatz Krefeld - On the way to the moon ... 1/2 The Wall - In the Land Before Time... Das Schöne beim Fotografieren ist u.a., dass man Gleichgesinnte trifft und sich schnell ein Gespräch entwickelt. So erging es mir mit dem Skaterplatz/Voltaplatz in Krefeld. Danke an Reinhard Knittel, der mich an seinen Erfahrungen mit Streetart Fotografie teilhaben ließ und mir den ein oder anderen interessanten Tipp gab. Diese tolle Mauer am Schlachthof Krefeld z.B. kannte ich zwar schon, doch habe ich die Gelegenheit genutzt, dieses Kunstwerk auch mal in seinen Einzelteilen zu betrachten. Dunkel gewandet, die Seele trägt Trauer, unendlich hoch die steinerne Mauer. Ganz leise eine Rose spricht tiefdunkelrot. In Liebe sie haucht: " Steh auf! Noch bist du nicht tot!"

(Friedrich Hebbel) - Entscheide selbst ... Add comment: (...) Did you like this report? Feel free to leave a comment :-). TUBUKU - WAY OF STYLE Künstlerinfo TUBUKU In order not to succumb to the boredom of Monheim, which was still insignificant at the time, the two had to decide whether they wanted to follow the wrong path or trust in their their should take special paths. Obviously, the two of them weren't after creative activities in night and fog actions, but rather energetic spraying and painting in public space. They don't want to and don't have to hide. On the contrary, they want and should earn money with their artistic craft. The name TUBUKU is made up of the English "too" and the French "beaucoup". This is based on the German saying "Too much of a good thing". In this way they express their way of working, always giving everything, preferably more than necessary, also verbally. They see themselves more as craftsmen and designers than as artists. They are guided by the local conditions combined with the customer's wishes. If a wall needs more paint, they say it should get it. And they are not stingy with energy and color. Her mostly nature-related motifs impress with their intensive, finely tuned coloring, which is intensified by using at least three levels per color and ensures special plasticity. This supports the currently so popular3D style , which was first noticed by DAIM in 1989 as part of street art and was placed on the walls of houses. Jarek and Alex don't want to be seen as artists so much. An artist has an image, an idea in their head that they want to realize, but they see the conditions they find and are inspired by them. However, I do perceive the resulting images as art. As Wikipedia explains, art is a human cultural product, a result of a creative process. The creativity of the two paired with their manual skills creates art in the urban environment. Art that makes people stop and see the world through the eyes of TUBUKU for the moment and possibly exchange ideas with other chance encounters. That's what street art is all about for me personally. It allows me to simply find the pictures beautiful or, if I like, to interpret them for myself, to perceive a whole in individual parts and to add words to them that often only occur to me during post-processing on the PC. But not only motifs from nature originate from the two creative minds. They also bring extraterrestrial worlds to the walls in a lively and colorful way, as is currently the case at Volta Platz in Krefeld. Her sphere of activity has long since extended beyond the borders of Krefeld. With live streams, they let their fan community actively participate in what is happening, especially in Corona times. The customer can obtain comprehensive information about the projects and working methods of TUBUKU via their professional homepage and place orders that are precisely tailored to their interests.

Urbexart I Haus der Puppen I Lost Place Photography I Lost Place I Verlassene Orte I Rottenplace I Samara Blue I My Way of Art I Dreamtime Lost Place - House of Dolls return What awaited me in this house of dolls, I wondered all the time on the way there. After some searching we ended up in front of a rather inconspicuous little house on the edge of a country road. In Gedanken hatte ich während der Fahrt einige Bilder vor meinem inneren Auge Revue passieren lassen, die ich bisher im Internet vom "Haus der Puppen" so gesehen hatte. Leicht gruselige "Chucky die Mörderpuppe" Impressionen kamen mir spontan in den Sinn. Beim Näherkommen empfing uns erstmal allgegenwärtiges Chaos. Doch was genau hatten wir erwartet? So, nun standen wir vor der Tür. "Tretet ein ins Haus der Puppen ... Don't think twice, come in, be careful and look. Tretet ein ins Haus der Puppen ... In meiner Freude über einen neuen Lost Place hatte ich ehrlich gesagt so eine Unordnung nicht erwartet. Mein entsetzter Blick fiel in einen schmalen Flur ... ... und ich erkenne beim genaueren Hinsehen tatsächlich eine Puppe. In der Unordnung nicht leicht auszumachen. Ein Puppenjunge, nahezu kopflos, zerbrochen. Die einst liebevoll zusammen gestellte Kleidung schmutzig und verstaubt. "Ich bin der andere, der andere ist ich. Er ist der Spiegel, der es dem Ich erlaubt, sich zu erkenne. Seine Zerstörung zerstört die Menschheit in mir." (De.Jarofquotes.com) Doch diese Worte beantworten auch heute noch nicht meine Frage, warum Menschen ein Haus, das nicht das eigene ist, so zerstören?!? Warum können sie nicht froh sein, dass man einen verlassenen Ort gefunden hat, an dem man verweilen, Fotos mitnehmen und in Erinnerung behalten kann!? Nackt und lieblos in die Ecke gesetzt ... "Als wir noch klein waren, konnten wir es kaum abwarten erwachsen zu werden. Aber jetzt stellen wir fest, dass kaputtes Spielzeug und verlorene Buntstifte viel besser sind als gebrochene Herzen und verlorene Freunde." (FUNPOT.NET) Das Bad, eine einzige Müllhalde ... "Gelegentlich den Kopf zu verlieren ist keine Schande, solange einem der Verstand dabei nicht abhanden kommt." (Metropolis) Unter Unrat und zerfetzten Dingen schaute ein niedliches Gesicht hervor. Offensichtlich hatte sich hier ein Bewohner für schöne Bilder interessiert. Am Fuß der Treppe in die erste Etage überlegten wir kurz, ob wir wirklich weitergehen sollten. Hatte uns vielleicht einer der Nachbar gesehen? Würde sich das Waten durch Müll und Unrat noch lohnen? "Je älter ich werde, desto mehr erkenne ich, dass ich keine Lust mehr auf Stress, Konflikte und Dramen habe. Ich brauche gutes Essen, viel Schlaf und Menschen, die mich mögen wie ich bin." (www.istdaslustig.de) Für einen Wimpernschlag blieb mein Blick an liebevollen Deko Details hängen. Verstaub und angeschmuddelt ... Weißt du, dass Puppen die besten Freunde sind? Auch, wenn sie nicht sprechen können, hören Puppen, was du sagst. Und hast du gewusst? Wenn man sie allein lässt in einem Zimmer, dann werden sie lebendig.Lebendig? Ja! Aber wenn wir plötzlich rein kommen, sausen sie blitzschnell wieder auf ihre Plätze. Aber wieso werden sie nicht lebendig, wenn wir dabei sind? Wenn wir sie sehen können? Weil es wie Magie ist. Man muss an Magie glauben, damit magische Dinge passieren können." - aus "Little Princess" Recht unterschiedliche Interessen schienen die Bewohner gehabt zu haben. Einsam, verlassen, unwichtig geworden ... Ohne Worte ... "Ich rede bisweilen mit Menschen so, wie das Kind mit seiner Puppe redet: Es weiß zwar, daß die Puppe es nicht versteht, schafft sich aber durch eine angenehme wissentliche Selbstdeutung die Freude der Mitteilung." (Arthur Schoppenhauer) Nachdenklich betrachtete ich diese Puppe mit liebevoll gehäkeltem Kleidchen und stellte mir vor, was die Puppenmutti ihr wohl einmal anvertraut hatte. Ein Lichtblick, der mich schmunzeln ließ :-). Hat hier ein Fotoliebhaber gewohnt? Neugierig googlte ich, was wohl in diesem Buch geschrieben steht. - Erschienen 1989 und aktuell in Antiquariaten zu erhalten. Endlich eine kleine Verbindung. Ein Buch, das vor 31 Jahren erschienen ist. - Siehe Link: Ein weiteres Zimmer, fast noch schlimmeres Durcheinander. Ein großer Teddy, scheinbar unversehrt blickte mich mit freundlichen Augen an. Fast von alleine hielt meine Kamera diese Szene fest. "Teddys umarmen dich nicht zurück Aber manchmal sind sie alles, was du hast. (Deutsche Sprüche XXL) - Dieser flauschige Geselle ist niemandens Freund mehr. Ein flüchtiges Bedürfnis, ihn mitzunehmen überkam mich, natürlich tat ich das nicht. Hinterlassenschaften personalisiert :-(. Damit auch jeder, der hier vorbei kommt, sehen kann, wer schon da war. Wieder einmal cooler, ausgefallener ... Warum muss das sein? Was hat man davon? Sorry, aber ich konnte und kann das immer noch nicht nachvollziehen. Vileleicht sollte man ein Urbex-Gästebuch auslegen ;-). “Wie kann ein erwachsener Mensch seine Jugend nur so vollkommen vergessen, dass er eines Tages überhaupt nicht mehr weiß, wie traurig und unglücklich Kinder bisweilen sein können. Es ist nämlich gleichgültig, ob man wegen einer zerbrochenen Puppe weint oder weil man, später einmal, einen Freund verliert.” ― Erich Kästner, Erich Kästner, Das Fliegende Klassenzimmer - Eine liebe Erinnerung an meine eigene Kindheit. - Wer mag: Siehe Link: Unversehrt und offensichtlich liebevoll arrangiert. Ein Lichtblich am heutigen Tag. Ein wenig heile Welt versöhnte mich ein Stück weit mit der leider realistischeren Szenerie. Da ich mich vor lauter Begeisterung nich für eine Perspektive entscheiden konnte, gibt es noch ein Bild :-) - Nicht nur Chaos ... "Ihre Zeit ist begrenzt, also verschwenden Sie sie nicht damit, das Leben eines anderen zu leben. Lassen Sie sich nicht von Dogmen in die Falle locken. Lassen Sie nicht zu, dass die Meinungen anderer Ihre innere Stimme ersticken. Am wichtigsten ist es, dass Sie den Mut haben, Ihrem Herzen und Ihrer Intuition zu folgen. Alles andere ist nebensächlich." (Steve Jobs) - Der Moment, an dem ich am liebsten die heiligen hallten verlassen hätte :-(. Gedanken, die mir durch den Kopf gingen, während ich überlegte, was Menschen dazu bringen kann, ihr ganzes Leben so einfach zurück zulassen. Und was zum Teu... andere dazu bringt, dieses ehemalige Zuhause eines anderen so zuzurichten?!?!? Ich stand am Fenster im ersten Stock und schaute hinaus. Hinaus in die scheinbar heile Welt. Mein Blick fiel ziellos auf eine scheinbar funktionierende Weltuhr: Sydney, New York, Moskau, Chikago, Rio - surreal ... "Ein wenig komme ich mir vor wie eine Puppe, der ein Bauteil fehlt. Eine kaputte Puppe, die nie ein ganzer Mensch werden kann. Mangelware. Die anderen Menschen gehen an mir vorbei und ich gehe an ihnen vorbei. Sind sie durchsichtig? Oder bin ich durchsichtig? Braucht die Welt mich überhaupt? Bin ich ein notwendiges Wesen? Braucht die Welt mich überhaupt?" - aus "Fruits Basket" von Natsuki Takaya We - Das Waisenmädchen Toru Honda schlägt sich tapfer alleine durch ...Link: Szenenwechsel - ein altes Haushaltsgerät - erstaunlich gut erhalten ... Ein Blick nach oben durch eine teilweise weggebrochene Zimmerdecke gab den Blick frei auf Teile eines maroden Dachbodens. Es wurde Zeit, dass wir diese Etage verlassen ... "Wer nie durch Scherben ging, hat nie gelebt. Wer nie am seidenen Faden hing, weiß nicht wie es geht. Wer nie sein Herz verlor, weiß nichts vom Glück. Wer nichts gegeben hat, der kriegt auch nichts zurück. (Matthias Reim) - Song siehe Link: "Wir gehen mit dieser Welt um, als hätten wir noch eine zweite im Kofferraum." (Jane Fond) - Diese Worte kamen mir ganz spontan in den Sinn, als ich mir meine Umgebung beim Hinausgehen betrachte ... "Derjenige, der etwas zerbricht, um herauszufinden, was es ist, hat den Pfad der Weisheit verlassen." (J.R.R: Tolkien) - Welche Weisheit? "Die Schatten deiner Kindheit, sie lauern noch heute in deiner Seele." (Pinterest) - Aus dieser Perspektive wirkte die Szenerie beinahe friedlich, versöhnlich ... "Jeder Tag hat sein Licht und seine Schatten. Wichtig ist, die kleinen Glückmomente wahrzunehmen, die uns geschenkt werden." (unbekannt) - So ein Bild in der Nachbearbeitung ist für mich ein kleiner Glücksmoment. Nicht, weil es besonders gut geworden ist, sondern weil ich mich trotz des vorgefundenen Chaos gefreut habe, dort gewesen zu sein. "Die Welt wäre ein besserer Ort, wenn jeder das reparieren müsste, was er zerbrochen hat. (VS") - Ich glaube, mein Ärger und die Entäuschung über den Zustand dieses Spots wird langsam deutlich. Ein letzter Blick in die Runde, nichts vergessen? Nun ja ... Even if this spot was not what I had hoped for, it left an impression. A look back, the camera stowed away, the dust brushed off the clothes. All that's left is the drive home... So ganz konnte ich mich doch noch nicht trennen. Vielleicht würde ich ja noch etwas finden, das sich lohnen würde, zu fotografieren ... ... schnell noch ein Blick durch die zerbrochenen Scheiben der Eingangstür, ein letztes Puppengesicht für die Erinnerung.

You can reach it as a pedestrian from the Hansa Center, walking along the pedestrian zone in the direction of Kaufhof. The Puppenbrunnen is located where the pedestrian zone, Neusserstraße, crosses the Südwall. (... ) weiterlesen Puppenbrunnen The puppet fountain is a modern art fountain with six figures that move in different ways and all have a connection to Krefeld. In summer, when the water splashes lively, this is a good opportunity for children to let their companions relax for a while. Depending on how adventurous the kids are, it can be quite a wet and happy affair. For a long time, I couldn't find any direct evidence in my research that this beautiful fountain was the work of Bonifatius Stirnberg, who created a very similar fountain in Aachen at a similar time. Now I am all the more pleased that I was able to find a student of the artist who is still in contact with Mr. Bonifatius Stirnberg. So with his help, with the support of the family and the information I already had, I was able to put the complete history of the doll's fountain in Krefeld on paper. Ok, trust the internet ;-)- So follow me now together with the exceptional artist Bonifatius Stirnberg on a journey through the centuries not only in terms of fashion ... Krefeld im November 2023/Mai 2024 Anker 1 The PUPPENBRUNNEN I KREFELD - Fashion through the centuries Von Samara Blue/Kerstin Ellingenhoven, Krefeld. 02.05.2024 The Puppenbrunnen in Krefeld is a counterpart to the fountain in Aachen and is located at Südwall 30-32, 47798 Krefeld. Pedestrians can reach it from the Hansa Centre by walking along the pedestrian zone in the direction of the former Kaufhof. The Puppenbrunnen is located where the Neusserstraße pedestrian zone crosses the Südwall, slightly offset to the right. It is a modern bronze fountain with six moving figures arranged around a rectangular cuboid. This is slightly larger than the lovingly crafted and detailed figures. The figures and cuboid are located on a round, slightly raised platform made of a kind of concrete, so that viewers can interact with the figures easily. The water drains into a circular depression underneath the fountain, which guarantees that the interacting visitor's shoes are reasonably dry. The name of the company that donated the fountain, Derichs & Konertz, and the dates 1926 and 1976 are apparently also cast in concrete on the side of the platform. It is assumed that 1926 is the year in which the two companies merged. 1976 commemorates the year the fountain was built. Once you have curiously walked around the fountain and taken a look at the various historical figures, you might ask yourself who was immortalised there and for what reason. As I was also very interested in this, I went on a little historical research. Starting with the Internet, which was not really informative about this particular fountain, I became aware of the doll fountain in Aachen. As it is very similar in style to the one in Krefeld, I assumed that it must be by the same artist, Bonifatius Stirnberg. However, I did not find any confirmation of this. But I did come across a gallery that represents the interests of the artist Bonifatius Stirnberg, the builder of the Aachen doll's fountain. I was able to make direct contact with a former pupil of the artist and learnt a lot about this remarkable artist and craftsman in telephone conversations. He confirmed that Mr Bonifatius was also the artist behind the doll's fountain in Krefeld, which took me a long way forward, and sent me a book by the artist. A fascinating book of fountains ... PLAY I CHANGE I UNDERSTAND... The illustrated book ‘Plastiken für die Stadt’ by Aachen artist Bonifatius Stirnberg begins with these interactive verbs. In order to gain a deeper understanding of this beautiful fountain and its significance, I would like to take a closer look at the fascinating artist and craftsman Bonifatius Stirnberg, starting with his biography: *He was born on 20/02/1933 in Freienohl/Sauerland (Meschede). *Only 15 years later, in 1948, he began an apprenticeship as a wood sculptor, which he successfully completed in 1951 with the journeyman's examination. *In 1953, he also completed the subsequent carpentry apprenticeship in the same year with the journeyman's examination. *In 1957, he passed his master craftsman's examination as a wood sculptor in Cologne. From 1953 to 1959, he studied interior design and sculpture at the Werkkunde Schule Aachen. *Even before completing his studies, he worked as a freelance artist from 1958. *From 1962 to 1966, he expanded his repertoire and creative skills by studying at the Düsseldorf Art Academy in the sculpture department under Prof. Josef Beuys. Prof Josef Beuys. *Since 1973 he has been working in his own studio in Aachen, which also includes a separate, well-equipped bronze foundry. All his works of art are produced in this studio, from the initial idea to the final touches. Even now, at the ripe old age of over 90, he can still be found in his workshop in Aachen every day. Stirnberg was obviously very interested in the nature of cities/his city. Houses, building facades, squares, places of interest, green spaces and much more are among the parts of a city that are accessible to all citizens and visitors and that can ultimately also be found on corresponding postcards. However, these cards often present a view that has been embellished with the help of wide-angle lenses and extreme photo editing. Bonifatius Stirnberg obviously has a divergent view of this, which is reflected in many ways in his art. After all, a city is represented by more than just such fair-weather views. Every city has its very own history, starting with its name, which has changed again and again over the centuries, just like its external appearance. We often judge the importance of a city by its appearance. If it is doing well, it is lavishly built and the city flourishes. Evidence of these good times can always be found in buildings and landmarks. Witnesses of the bad times, on the other hand, are often not on public display, but only preserved in special places. You have to explicitly seek them out if you are interested in these topics. It is similar with modern works of art. These, too, are often hidden/carried away in various museums, for which you often have to pay a considerable entrance fee. If you don't want to deal with them, you simply don't go near them. If this modern art then suddenly appears on the outside, e.g. on the walls of buildings, walls or bridges, it is often met with incomprehension. Yet this art could also be a living reminder of past times and historical aspects. Although they will be passed down for a while and told by older people in particular, at some point they too will be forgotten, like the smells of a bakery or the drape of a certain dress tailored according to historical fashion. Dead remains such as walls, stones, etc. often survive for centuries and therefore much longer, but they no longer have a living face. Only old trees can sometimes act as living witnesses to what a person once experienced with them. This is where Balthasar Stirnberg's works of art come in. His figures with lively faces and contemporary clothing are also intended to appeal to visitors with little artistic experience, e.g. children who like to look at, feel and try out the world with unbiased eyes. If public artworks are located in places with a lot of space around them, people often go to these places specifically because they want to see this particular work of art. Stirnberg's artistic fountains, on the other hand, are often found in rather obscure places, at crossroads, narrow alleyways or sometimes on the grounds of nurseries and schools. Inevitably, you come across them again and again in everyday life and they seem to cross people's everyday paths spontaneously. These fountains always have a special connection to the place and/or the city where they can be found. The figures have movable limbs so that the visitor can always move them into different poses and relationships to each other. A voyage of discovery into the past, not just for children, although they are always attracted by the various waterways. So that they don't have to get completely wet after their playful exploration tour, the streams of water in Stirnberg's fountain are designed in such a way that the cheerful water player realises that water is wet and makes them wet if they play too wildly, and can row back a little or flee the danger zone prematurely. Through this unbiased, playful engagement with historical figures, their stories and destinies, young people can often learn more and more easily than in history lessons. This is exactly what art in general, and Balthasar Stirnberg's art in particular, can/should do. The Krefeld Doll Fountain can also be found in the centre of Südwall 30-32, 47798 Krefeld, on the daily footpaths of the people of Krefeld. Although it no longer carries water in the colder seasons, the glittering drops of water quickly cast a spell over visitors hurrying along in the nicer weather. Again and again, someone stops and looks. They feel carefully, then a little more boldly, to see what they can move and how. Usually it doesn't stop with just one spectator. There are several more, so sometimes it wasn't easy to take photos of just the fountain. ‘Fashion through the centuries’ is the title of the Krefeld doll's fountain. A theme that the residents of the velvet and silk city could relate to when it was erected in 1975. It was the intention of the artist and probably also of the donating company Derichs & Konertz that not only the residents could identify with his art in their city, but also that visitors could take something interesting home with them. This fountain is one of Balthasar Stirnberg's earlier works and will be almost 50 years old in 2024. It has already lost a few feathers during this time. Shortly after its construction, a figure was stolen and it was only found again by chance during a police operation almost 20 years later. Unfortunately, there is always some fool who thinks he has to immortalise himself on the work of art by splashing paint on it. In the meantime, the ravages of time are also gnawing away at this work of art and fine moss is spreading here and there. The wooden parts are also not forever immune to wind and weather. But even if Krefeld can unfortunately no longer be regarded as a city of velvet and silk from my point of view, this fountain still stands in its place and demonstrates a piece of immortality, indeed history, with its valuable, basically resistant material. History for the former velvet and silk town on the Lower Rhine and also a piece of artistic history from the life of the exceptional artist and craftsman Bonifatius Stirnberg. Personally, I would be very happy to see the fountain renovated, not least because it is a piece of history for me, but also because the valuable and resistant bronze material used stands for durability and endurance. -Samara Blue/Kerstin Ellinghoven.

Wildpferdefang 2019 - Dülmen/Merfelder Bruch Continue 3. Wildpferdefang Dülmen About the special honor of being a catcher While looking for 2-3 animal pictures for another project, I stumbled across my folder with almost 900 pictures that were taken in 2019 during a visit to the wild horse capture in Dülmen with my sister. As it's naturally not easy to choose from so many pictures and, as a horse girl since childhood, the wild horses in Dülmen are a particularly magical place for me, these beautiful, wild horses have their own section in my collection of magical places. Enjoy impressions of a wild rodeo around the corner in my native Westphalia. Information about the little horses can be found in the pictures and here (... ) Info Wildpferde weiter lesen Profile: Size: approx. 125 - 135 cm height Origin: Westphalia/Germany Color: Predominantly grey and bay, also black-brown Characteristics: Original pony, frugal, calm, robust Suitability: Riding and carriage pony Use: Children's riding and carriage pony So that the texts do not become too long, I have added further information to the individual pictures. More information Wild horses Dülmen Every year, a spectacular wild horse capture takes place on the wild horse track in Dülmen. Located just west of Dülmen/NRW, wild horses have been living in a herd of around 400 in the wild for what feels like an eternity, without care or human intervention, except for this one day. The day they were caught. The area in which they live is called Mehrfelder Bruch and was first mentioned in a document in 1316. At that time, the habitat covered an area of several thousand hectares, which was continually reduced in size through cultivation and appropriation, so that today, with the Mehrfelder Bruch, they only have around 400 hectares at their disposal. The Duke of Croy's family thus created a reserve which, with around 400 wild horses, is the only one left on the European continent. Even if this sounds small compared to earlier times, it is far more space than is available to the average horse today. Habitat The area, which consists of moorland, heathland, coniferous and oak forests, offers the animals a varied diet all year round, so that they are only fed hay in some places in winter. Otherwise, the wild horses are left to their own devices. They can rely on their instincts, feed themselves appropriately and cope with all weather conditions. They find protection from extreme weather conditions in the forest areas. This way of life means that only the best-adapted animals prevail and can pass on their predispositions/genes to their offspring. This is how the small Dülmen wild horses were able to survive as a healthy and resistant breed through natural selection. Nature reserve wild horse track in the Merfelder Bruch The main purpose of the Merfelder Bruch nature reserve is to preserve nature and the herd living there. Everything necessary is done to ensure the long-term preservation of the herd. The aim is to preserve the habitat in its existing form in the long term, as changes to the biotope would otherwise also change the type of horse through natural selection. The question is repeatedly asked as to why the Dülmen wild horses are being bred rather than conserved. There are two inseparable criteria for successful breeding. People (can) only breed according to measurable and/or visible characteristics. These can include jumping ability, speed, stamina and much more. The second goal is to anchor these traits in the gene pool of the animals so that these traits can be passed on to the offspring as reliably and retrievably as possible. In this way, characteristics such as robust health and natural instinctive behavior can be slowly pushed back from the genetic make-up. In this way, special and valuable original genetic material would be irretrievably lost. This highlights the importance of preserving the original breeds in their natural habitats, as they are subject to ongoing natural selection. These original breeds are called "primitive breeds", which does not imply a negative aspect, but rather refers to the natural value of these species. Since there are only very few herds like these that live almost completely without human contact, behavioral researchers also have a large field of activity here. Appearance and appearance of the horse breed Most of the wild horses are currently bay or brown. They have an eel line running down their backs, which is an indication of the breed's originality. The emerging zebra markings on the legs of some animals also point to their wild origins. At the beginning of the 20th century, wild horses still looked very different. All colors could be found as well as white markings. Due to the small number of individuals, there was a risk of inbreeding and in order to increase the herd as healthily as possible with fresh blood, breeding was continued with various pony breeds. Crossbreeding with Welsh ponies, Mongolian ponies and Polish Koniks expanded the gene pool. No color selection was made here until 1960. It was not until 1984 that care was taken to cross only grey stallions, which led to the fact that most horses today are gray ponies. Theoretically, all colors except grey can still occur today, although the pure chestnut is very rare. The animals have a rectangular body shape, less pronounced withers and sloping shoulders. Their neck is of medium length and slightly curved. The medium-sized head has a broad forehead and small ears and a straight or slightly concave bridge of the nose. Strong hindquarters with small, hard hooves may also be the result of their almost wild lifestyle. In contrast to the Norwegian horses, the Dülmen wild horses have a hanging mane which, like their tails, is very luxuriant. The animals are described as very robust, intelligent and capable of learning. In addition, they have a balanced character and a predominantly good-natured nature if they have a suitable relationship with people, which makes them so valuable for dealing with children. They are rather undemanding in terms of keeping and feeding. They can reach an advanced age of 30-40 if kept in a species-appropriate manner. For these reasons, there are rather few animals of this original horse breed available. Most of them are sold online, even worldwide. Depending on age, pedigree and level of training, these animals can easily cost € 2,500 - 3,000. Another type of purchase are the annual auctions at the Wildpferdefang in Dülmen, where the one-year-old stallions are auctioned off after being caught from the herd. Some information on this can be found in the pictures. Capturing wild horses In order to avoid rivalry with the young stallions, they are caught from the herd every year. This popular event has been held every last Saturday in May since 1907. The exception to this were the years in which social life was practically paralyzed by the coronavirus pandemic. These yearlings are auctioned off at the end of the event. As these robust little horses quickly lose their shyness in front of people and are also known to be smart, good-natured and frugal, they quickly find new owners. Due to their calm character, they are often used as riding horses for children and as carriage horses. Necessity of catching yearling stallions As sexually mature young stallions try to compete with their rivals and form their own herds with the conquered mares, which ultimately also claim their own living space, which is not available in the Merfelder Bruch despite its size, humans must intervene to regulate this. Predators such as wolves and bears no longer exist in our domesticated latitudes and are therefore unable to intervene naturally to regulate the populations. They are driven into the arena with their herd and separated there by hand without any aids in order to keep their first contact with humans as gentle as possible. Although they lose their freedom of the Merfelder Bruch when they are sold, they get used to their new home and their new roommates very quickly if they are kept in a species-appropriate manner. -Samara Blue/Kerstin Ellinghoven Krefeld in April 2024 QueQuellen: Wildpferde im Merfelder Bruch/Herzog von Croy´sche Verwaltung www.ehoreses.de Comment : In 2019, almost 5 years ago, my camera and I were often overwhelmed by the lighting conditions and the fast movements.

For the first time I was able to accompany a street art event photographically from the beginning. That was extremely impressive. Documenting this exciting "making off", supplemented by information about art and artists, is my very personal approach to the topic of street art. I used working titles for some of the images because I haven't been able to research all the titles of the artworks yet. The order in which the pictures tell their story also follows. Until then, the images in the gallery are in any order. Since I don't just take photographs but am also interested in the artists, the backgrounds and the little things on the side, I try to get authentic information about the artists and their pictures. I was able to discuss this personally with most of the artists after the event. Thank you very much for that. If I have taken information from the Internet, I have marked it as such.

Streetart I Graffiti I OLDHAUS I Kerim Musanovic I Seidenweberhaus I Silk City Gallery I Samara Blue Urbex Art I Kreative Fotografie I Beuys I Hommage an Beuys street art - Oner OLDHAUS/D & Kerim Musanovic/BIH "The Beuys can ... " return Anfang Oldhaus Facebook * Instagram "Art is in crisis. All areas are in crisis." (Beuys) - Artist info(...) Info Oldhaus Artist information Oner OLDHAUS & Kerim Musanovic After it was clear that they would work as a team, the graffiti artist decidedoner OLD HOUSE from Neus andKerim Musanovic from Bosnia-Herzegovina to stage a typical "OLDHAUS can". You see the controversial artist Beuys lying in a transparent spray can in the honey and sleeping peacefully. Anyone who deals with the art of OLDHAUS will find that the spray can is his trademark, his "signature". He is, so to speak, a master of the can, meaning that he likes to arrange the elements he uses in a transparent can. Although he comes from the graffiti direction, he not only works with this can but also uses mixed media. To round off this scenery, OLDHAUS added a few elements or exhibits to his box, which he himself associates with Beuys. For example thechildren's bath (first publicly displayed in 1968 or 1969) , which OLDHAUS says was cleaned by mistake. The unbelievable story about 2 women who wanted to wash glasses in this same tub during an election campaign. It is definitely worth reading them again, no matter what your opinion of these works of art is. In a conversation with an elderly lady the week after completion, I met an elderly couple with whom I enthusiastically shared what I had learned so far . They talked about the different aspects of this picture and the lady said that it was a normal tub. Well, at the time I wasn't sure either and we decided to ask Doc Google. This is how street art works :-). You start a conversation about a picture and experience a few moments of lively exchange of ideas with strangers. I think Beuys would have liked that. I've had a lot. Perhaps some guided tours of these amazing works of art would be a good idea. Even the most inconspicuousTV is full of Beuysian symbolism. In the endless loop "jajajaja" and "neeneeneeneenee" he gives the viewer scope for their own interpretations. Beuys recorded this curious audio installation, which is currently kept in the Pinakothek in Munich, in 1968 in an edition of 100 pieces. Two fundamentally different explanations are provided for this. If you like, you can read more under the above link and maybe find a completely different interpretation of the current zeitgeist or your personal life situation. Here on the back side of the Seidenweberhaus we see a work of art that in many ways makes direct contact with Beuys. On the one hand with the very authentic representation of the artist himself, then with a direct, even physical reference to honey. Its shown at Ducumenta 6 in Kassel in 1977" Honey pump at work " shows an apparatus extending over several rooms, through which 150 kg of honey were pumped through a hose system. In other exhibits, too, honey appears again and again as a theme. Honey is considered life-giving. In his artistic activities he used many unusual objects and materials in order to create lyrical and emotional connections with them. Honey in connection with bees and their queen appear again and again as a theme in his works of art. The bees in Kerim connect directly in the picture with the honey, which is their vital food. But the context for the overall work of art Seidenweberhaus is also created with these insects, among other things. These insects, whose "dwellings" are the honeycombs, the honeycombs that can be seen from afar can also be found on the front of the silk weaver's house. According to OLDHAUS, the quote from Beuys mentioned above was specifically selected by him at this time for this event because it perfectly reflects the current pandemic situation. Annotation: This picture is so self-explanatory that I don't need any excessive attempts at self-interpretation. Here, two experienced artists with different styles and focuses have created a clear and colorful image that attracts and fascinates visitors. Personally, I found the best access to this image by researching some typical Beuys installations on the Internet, relating these findings to the information provided by the artists, and at the same time taking my own perceptions seriously. The only difficulty for me was that you can't just look at this picture completely because of the green vegetation. I'll check back in the winter. I tried out many perspectives with my camera and didn't shy away from lying on my stomach ;-). My intensive way of dealing with this work of art. Thanks guys for this opportunity. Source: Oldhaus personally, Wikipedia, swr.de, freddart.de * * * Since 1998 isOLD HOUSE thecan technology expired. From 2008-2014 he studied design, with a focus on illustration, at the Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences. In addition to numerous art events and exhibitions in Germany, his art has mainly been seen in Western Europe. Specializing in character design (figurative painting), art drove him to Belarus, where he won a juried, international contest as 1st place in the graffiti category. In 2019, OLDHAUS first came to light as a curator and initiator when he and three other artists created the cross-city Home Street Home Urban Art Festival. His last trip took him to the Queen's Kingdom - he has already exhibited several times in London. In the metropolis he has been represented by the Bickerton Grace Gallery since 2020. In addition to his large-scale graffiti, OLDHAUS also uses mixed media to paint on canvas, on which he likes to process the problems of his synapse chaos.

Simple but concise in black and white, it presents "our flower street". Artist info (...) Anote: Theflower street in Krefeld, Luisa Estrada used a long piece of the facade as a model for her "black and white" design. If you take a look at the corner of Blumenstrasse and Moerser Strasse on Google, you can easily see their exact position. With the silk weavers who worked on their looms in the houses there, she not only creates the connection to the velvet and silk city of Krefeld, but also directly to the silk weaver house. Short interview Luisa Estrada Luisa: "Hello Kerstin, thank you for your interest in my work in Krefeld. I'm happy to answer any questions you have about my painting." I would like to know why you chose the flower street. Luisa: "II was looking for something characteristic of the city, although I don't know Krefeld, I like to work with what I perceive as typical for the respective location from my own perspective. In the cities there are always very typical things, for example in the architecture. This can vary greatly in different countries. Different colors and architectural styles show typical country features. In addition, the individual functionalities are important for the cities. The creativity of the inhabitants of these cities is also reflected there. In this case, while checking Google Maps, I found the Flower Street attractive and interesting and decided to depict it. In the end it stops being that place and the painting becomes a reflection of the city itself, it's decor, a reflection of those who live there." Annotation: This intention surprised me a little. Luisa easily transports a "simple" streetscape into an interesting, decorative work of art and encourages me, as a newcomer to Krefeld, to delve into the history of the city of Krefeld once more. Did you choose the location for the photo yourself? Luisa: "Yes, I found this position suitable for my project." Could you get to know Krefeld a little better? n? Luisa: Not really, just the route that took us from the hotel to the building where we painted. I was looking forward to visiting the Josep Beuys Museum. I like to ask the artists about anecdotes, mishaps, special moments and sometimes what color they paint/spray with. Luisa: Perfect. When you attend events where multiple people work together, everything is an anecdote, every moment becomes relevant and part of that story. At the beginning, when everything starts, you gradually approach others with great curiosity to know who they are and what they do. For me it was the first time I used scissors or a crane. I was a bit nervous but luckily everything went well and I enjoy using this machine. In general, I really enjoyed painting and I was satisfied with the result. I have only painted walls very few times before, so it was a special experience for me to be invited to this event. I used a range of shades of gray for my rendering. I usually work like this when engraving, so I reduced the landscape, which actually had purple colors, to this area. If I understand your answer correctly, your picture has no direct relation to Beuys, does it? Luisa: The picture has something to do with Beuys, maybe a little more far-fetched. I rely on Beuys' statement that anyone can make art. With his social sculpture, he also said that art is a possible tool of social transformation. Under these two premises, I think it is possible and interesting to be able to see your city, your street, your house from a different point of view and/or from a different perspective. In this case from the perspective of the foreigner and from above. Everything is possible, something new, different and maybe even beautiful. So we not only see the same old Krefeld, but the creativity of those who build is in it. Those who inhabit these peculiar and original spaces, the result of an artistic construction. A construction that has formed over time. If we go further and think of a distant future where we may not be anymore but there will still be some ruins, we will see all of this as a reminder of past lives and it will be that the architecture or remains of it at the the end is art." I really like your style in black and white. Someone said you always paint like this. What made you do it? Luisa: "Well, I'm not a real painter. I am an engraver. I engrave on linoleum, foamed PVC, metal etc. . I have painted in public spaces other times, but more than painting, I have made large-scale drawings. I can say that I really painted for the first time in Krefeld. Since I was able to work through the topic in shades of gray that were easily accessible to me, I really enjoyed this exercise." Annotation: I liked this idiosyncratic, classic depiction of the flower street right from the start, when the first outlines were sketched. The black and white representation is so different from the other partially colorful representations. It is amazing and remarkable that the artist does not necessarily come from the street art direction. She gives us Krefeld a piece of Krefeld as art and gives the viewer the freedom to associate this picture with Beuys or simply find it beautiful. Is there a title for your picture? Luisa: "Not really. It could mean "black and white flower street". Source: Luisa Estrada personally Annotation: Finally, a little bit of history about the Blumenstraße in Krefeld. There are probably no reliable findings as to where the flower street got its name from. It is believed that the name refers to the gardens outside the then city walls relates. The street has existed since July 18, 1837. There were several houses with in-house weavers on Blumenstrasse. The importance of home weaving was last seen at the time of the Franco-Prussian War. Poorer weavers from the area moved to Krefeld and urgently needed cheap housing. Among other things, 40 blocks of houses were built on Blumenstrasse between the West Wall and the Ringstrasse. Behind the elaborately decorated facades of the so-called three- or four-window houses were small, open apartments without water and sanitary facilities. 5-9 families are said to have lived so cramped in these houses. Since the weavers needed good light, the looms were placed by the windows. At the beginning of the 19th century, with the advancing industrialization, the importance of home weavers decreased rapidly. A steel mill was built in front of the town and a port was built. Krefeld became an industrial city. A little of the former charm of the Blumenstraße has been preserved in a few listed buildings. Source: WAZ 16.11.2012. Thanks to Wolfgang R. Krefeld for his support in researching Blumenstrasse Info Luisa Artist information Luisa Estrada Name: Maria Luisa Estrada Sanchez (Luisa Estrada) Luisa Estrada is a visual artist based in Mexico City.

Artist information sonjAMAZEreel Annotation: One of the pictures that was finished first, but also one of the pictures that I couldn't really explain. I just thought it was beautiful (colorful). So I thought back and forth about what was going on here and for the time being I gave the picture the title "Puzzle" because it reminded me a little of my sons' wooden puzzles, which is a very nice memory for me. The explanation that Sonja gives for her picture is a bit different, but it also consists of many colorful parts. Drawers for natural history objects spontaneously went through Sonja's mind when looking at the silk weaver's house, she tells the film crew. Butterflies, beautiful stones and much more are lovingly stored in these drawers to hold on as positive memories. A bit like my own "memory box" in which I keep my children's first shoes, for example. For me personally, this is the connection/interpretation to Sonja's artwork. This way I can "think in pigeonholes" and visualize personally positive memories. Definitely a contrast to usual rather clichéd thinking in many situations. So I can follow the motto of the curator Fredda Wouters "Shape society through design " give an interpretation and application that I can easily understand. The fact that your picture is directly opposite the media library also fits the picture for me, since there is a wealth of literature in the library there, for example about nature. Stylistically, Sonja doesn't want to commit herself. She loves working with colors. She is fascinated by the old masters and likes to communicate and interact with people. Her work of art for Krefeld is completely different from what she would otherwise paint. In any case, it is worthwhile to look at the diverse images of the Belgian artist on the various social networks. You can find out more about my thoughts on this work of art in the small series of pictures above :-). Sonja Mazereel's stage name has always been hidden in her name itself:sonjAMAZEreel. AMAZE - the English word for "to inspire" - then fits perfectly with her art, with which she repeatedly surprises and inspires thousands of viewers. Born in 1967 in Poperinge in Belgium, she studied visual arts in Leper, monumental art in Ghent and completed a 3-year apprenticeship as a draftsman in Antwerp, where she also worked in an architect's office. Today she lives again in West Flanders and since 2010 she first made huge copies of well-known masters on the street pavement according to the Italian Madonnari tradition and over time she has developed into a representative of modern street painting with optical 3D illusions. She has won numerous awards and has shown her street art in the USA, Germany, England, Italy, France and the Netherlands.

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:(...)

But where did the brave knights disappear to almost 20 years ago? And how have you been? Why did they just leave these magnificent rooms? Since just taking photos is usually not enough for me and I'm curious by nature, I started to find out more about this association of men. At the end of 2020 I sent my questions directly to the Schlaraffen here in kr Krefeld by email and received a little surprised, but also very pleased, prompt answer. Continue reading(...) "Et Klöske" - knight's castle in words and pictures Bildeserie sc weiter lesen How I, as a profane* woman, experienced the castle of a men's union. A documentation in words and pictures Slightly irritated, I read the sender of the mail:"Am already@..." . Well, what can I say, the answer was short and clear. They thanked me for my interest in their men's association, gave me the current address, printed in bold to be safe ;-) and told me that they would like to contribute information about their time in the old city baths. Of course everything Corona compliant. Everything seemed very well organized. The "coat of arms and noble marshal",Mr. Klaus Drenk , was immediately taken in cc. Now I have looked at the contact details of the sender, the deputy chairman of Crefeldensis eV."Rochus Kralik Knight of Meyrswalden" - an impressive name and as Doc Google quickly told me, a "real knight". Before the following phone call, my heart was already palpitating. What could I expect from a high-ranking member of a men's association? The concerns were unfounded, as it quickly turned out. An extremely youthful voice talked openly and friendly about the topic "creative men's association" in general and about details from their time in the old Krefeld municipal baths in particular. My photo from the Krefeld Stadtbad with the name boards, from which you can see a section, awakened and touched memories of an obviously good time in this place, says"Knight Binshon" . The panels with these names still remind visitors of the historic swimming pool of the activities of the jolly knights. Here, for example, a "Ritter Brasilio" from Oberhausen once made a donation that was lovingly and creatively documented. After the phone call, we arranged to meet on site. It was supposed to take a few more months before it came about, but in this strange pandemic time it's probably nothing special. We had an appointment together in May 2021 and, once again with palpitations, I packed my photo equipment. At this point it should be mentioned that the focus of this day was not on the photos as expected. The conditions on site were more difficult than expected for my experience in photography and my equipment. Rather, it was the conversation with the three older gentlemen that fascinated me. Not only that they would give me, as a completely unknown female being, a comprehensive insight into their creative work, they also gave me the feeling at all times that they took me and my (photo) project "Men's League" seriously take. That impressed and touched me. A visit to a special place, seen through the eyes of aprofane * Woman. Continue reading: (...) Add comment: (...) Did you like this report?
