the street is our gallery

A great project was recently developed with 15 artists attending from different parts of the world with a shocking result of more than 9 walls being decorated that turned the old Campus of Siemens into a place, essential to visit for the lovers of Street Art.One of the most interesting aspects of this project is the mixture between young urban artists with artists of the “old school” which is a double look to the origin of the movement linked to graffiti with names like the crew The Stone Age Kids and with interventions of artist that are more connected to streetart, such as Jana & Js.

Organized by Angelika Man, Daniel Man and Melander Holzapfel , ISSA was able to talk to Daniel Man not only an organizer but also a project artist like CODEAK.

“It was inevitable to participate as an artist and I could not remain just as a spectator, I started painting in the streets but then I have also developed a career as a multidisciplinary artist. I have painted several years with DAIM in different places of the world like, Sao Paolo, and from there we have established contacts with many of the artists who are painting in this project. We have proposed artists from different generations because we are interested in that exchange.  I deeply admire the young people who work with passion and the quality is immediately appreciated”

“HARMONY” by SatOne & AxelVoid

This mural is based on an image taken in 1945 of the atom bomb in Hiroshima, Japan. The concept of this wall takes a more objective or anthropological standpoint with the effort of understanding our nature through this manmade landscape. Harmony alludes to our misconception of what is natural or harmonious. We take our self out of the picture, or define our worst behavior as unnatural or disrupting harmony. But we partake in composing the term, inevitably we are a part of the ecosystem and therefor inherently natural and harmonious.
Formally, this mural is a juxtaposition of our interpretation from the same image, with the intention of creating a dialogue between them. (Text: SatOne)

The Stone Age Kids flank one of the sides under the watchful eye of the refugees staying in a nearby building. Their typography and color are like a silent cry that demands a look at their reality.

All four artists are part of munichs oldschool hardcore stylewritingmovement from 1983 to 1986.
