+++ How and Nosm // Raoul and Davide Perre +++
Die Beiden haben schon viel gesehen und das zeigen sie auch in Ihren Gesellschaft-kritischen Arbeiten, die immer eine Überraschung bereithalten, selbst wenn man Sie schon hunderte male gesehen hat. Hier noch ein Paar Eckdaten der Beiden:
The twin brothers HOW and NOSM are graffiti artists and professional muralists residing in New York. Born in the Basque country of San Sebastian, Spain ,the Perre brothers grew up in Duesseldorf ,Germany practicing the Bronx born art form of graffiti .Their late teenage years were spent spray painting the world, visiting many of the more than 50 countries in which they both left their remarkable artwork on any kind of surface including subway trains. During a visit to New York in ’97 HOW and NOSM were asked to become members of the legendary TATS CRU, and permanently relocated to New York shortly thereafter in ’99 – a move that marked their transition from painting on trains, and even the Berlin Wall – to creating elaborate murals for a number of known commercial clients.
+++ Amigo +++
Unglaublich begabt, vielseitig und spielerisch, geht “amigo” mit seinem Stil um, was mich vom bloßem anschauen zum kreativen Tatendrang zwingt. Danke Niko für diesen Tipp.
+++ Freedom Tunnel +++
“Under Manhattan’s Upper West side, runs the “Freedom” Tunnel. Built in the 30’s by Robert Moses, the passage boasts legendary graffiti murals and piles of debris remaining of the past homeless city era. After using it for only a couple of years, Amtrak discontinued the line and left a massive cavern which later became a shelter for street people. Progressively, the tunnel turned into a veritable underground metropolis where thousands of homeless were living in organized communities underneath the city’s skin. “
