One of realeyz.tv’s translators asked me to look for work by ALIAS. Hmmm. OK. Then, really and truly purely by chance, I ran into a stencil work at Mariannenplatz next to the Bethanien’s new little skateboard set-up. Seems that Kunstraum Kreuzberg will be featuring skater films. Sounds right up our alley! ALIAS - very dramatic Continue Reading

Looking down at my feet  (highly advisable in Berlin, where dogs have undisciplined owners…) I noticed that the heavy rains had sprouted a bouquet of vevelty mushroom - right tight against the crumbly brick wall - with some lush dandylions as next door neighbors.

All in all a peaceful coexistance.

If the sun won’t shine, there’s always a sunflower! Snapped this beauty in the parking lot of our realeyz.tv offices. Guerrilla gardening bears fruit! Try it. Just throw some seeds into the ground.

Films for this mood: Pupa’s Garden. Garden of Eden in the middle of wasteland.

How fitting that, just then, something colorful against the dark brown earth caught my eye. A small stack of pulp magazines wrapped together with a “motz” magazine. Hmmm, this was ‘otherworldly’ indeed - and definitely from a different era.
I spread them out to look at them. The list price on the cover is in DM Continue Reading

L’ATLAS studied Arabic calligraphy with classic and modern masters in Morocco, Egypt and Syria and translates the geometric codes of traditional Kufic script into his own aesthetic writing. PUNITIONS (French for punishment) is a style of street art that uses repeated tags to ‘punish’ the surface. The style also recalls punishments taken as a child Continue Reading

When I went inside the Kreuzberg Museum I met the operators and we chatted a bit. I admitted that it was my first visit. The organizer was not amused. He said that if you haven’t been inside the Kreuzberg Museum, you aren’t a real Kreuzberger. So I became a Kreuzberger on Wednesday! To celebrate, I Continue Reading
