Paying the price for art
Amazing story about members of DPM-crew who got serious jail-sentences in the UK for doing graffiti. The vulgar display of power that was used to sentence these people is quite shocking, and shows the stupidity of media-hungry law-enforcers that (again) use graffiti to cover up their own questionable results on fighting real crime.

CHAPTER ONE
maandag 9 november 2009
Before the fall of the Berlin wall.
Wow..20 years already. One of the most vibrant memories in my personal history, that ecstatic moment when the Berlin wall fell, seeing that on tv as a kid was amazing. Especially since only a couple of months before my mother took us to Berlin to see it upclose, she must have sensed something historical was about to happen. Thanks for that mom! These pictures where the ones I took when we were there, must have been around July or August 1989. Funny to see these pictures now, since they are taken from a graffiti point of view, the classic composition for archieving pieces, and neglecting the background, but hey, I was 12!
"Berlin" in that classic '88/'89 style, I like the roughness, just 4 colors and black. Also the character has "Ost"(East) on his hat, and his face behind barb wire, the look of it made a deep impact on me. I also remember seeing thousands of messages with just one or two names and a date next to it, the classic tree-graffiti standard, marking a moment in time. "I was here", build to last. A frightening idea in retrospect, at that moment history was still in the making...
"Die Mauer ist ein Dorn in the side of Deutschland", nice words.I wonder what that guard was thinking...I clearly remember looking at the guards in the towers and realising the impact of what side of the wall I was on. Part of the Berlin trip was a visit to East Berlin as well, I remember vividly the border-checks with mirrors under the bus, the passport-checks, the streetviews in shades of grey and the bullet-holes in the buildings. And the fact that the other side of the wall had no graffiti! Going through the wall was like going through a weird one-way portal into a different dimension...and actually that's what it was.
It almost looks as if the wall ends there, but it was a corner in fact. Somewhere close to the Reichstag I think. I remember behind the Reichstag they had a big fence with flowers and crosses on it, remembering the people that tried to escape at that spot, swimming across the Spree.
A beautiful "Midget"-piece on an ugly wall. Classic spot, I had this picture on my wall for a long time. I loved seeing people on top of the wall on tv only a couple of months later, slamming their hammers in the wall and even recognising this exact spot on tv, but in such a different context! Wunderbar.
Congratulations Berlin! (and Germany in general ; )

Part of Rebellion # 3
Yes! I got it! The book made by the people of Publikat in cooperation with Christian Hundertmark (author of "The art of rebellion");
Part of Rebellion #3 Erosie.
Like the title suggests it's part of a series, following #01 (Flying Fortress) and #02 (Dave the Chimp).
Very happy with the result...128 pages with a wide variety of stuff done in the past 10 years or so. Quite a lot of work to select the images since there is so much not in it, but what is in it I am really pleased with. The layout is nice, the book feels good, and it will be available all around Europe, so keep your eyes peeled!
Or get yours at Publikat.
Don't believe the type

The money maker.
Nice interview at Creative Review with R.D.E. Oxenaar, the designer of the Dutch paper-money; before that DAMNED Euro came into circulation (nobody was ever asked for that to happen, but Oxenaar obviously must have been angry about it for a very personal reason).
Remeniscence over paper money (well not all obviously, I used mostly the 5,- and 10,- Guilders, although I really liked to have that 50,- in my pocket as well, apart form the amount ofcourse ; )
Check the interview here (the part about the middle finger is absolutely brilliant)

Milton Glaser on drawing.
MILTON GLASER DRAWS & LECTURES from C. Coy on Vimeo.
I'd rather see Milton Glaser's drawings, or hear him speak since watching him do both does not show what he is all about to be honest...but what can Milton Glaser do wrong really?

Eduardo Paolozzi
Check a little photo-report of late Eduardo Paolozzi's exhibition in Raven Row gallery, London on Trendbeheer here.
Paolozzi's (1924-2005) work consists of a vibrant mix of references from visual culture of the 50's, 60's and 70's, he sure is a true pop-art pioneer. It shows how much we got used to sampling from this period in today's visual culture it makes his work looks so contemporary, it almost hurts.

Pixel-clicks for Amnesty
I still have a weakness for Eboy (it must be my early 90's Amiga-pixel-by-pixel-mouse-click-drawing-background) and seeing this Amnesty campaign is a pretty nice way to link their visuals to an ad-concept. Check it here.
