Hafen Soundz

Cole

This weekend delta.triangle and I had a collaborative display at the Floating Bricks Convention in Hamburg.

Fun fact that the show was in the St. Pauli Barrio inside of the infamous Millerntorstadium.

It was a literal blast, starting with a small collaboration, extending to a layout full of sound, engineering and street art/graffiti and rounding things up with an all-nighter in diverse clubs…

My mate delta.t built a soundsystem tower based upon Killasan‘s wall of speakerboxes. Jamaican originated soundsystem culture at it’s finest!

As a small surprise he also brought a tropical DJ booth along with a DJ and a selector.

My counterpart was a spraycan which got ‘blasted’ by the music. The spraycan being a tower of varying colour sounds echoing the acoustical sounds. The whole shape is deformed in a mix between an astral body and a bullit-like bending caused by the metal ball which is an integral part of a spraycan.

Unfortunately the shots of the collabo are semi, as lighting and stuff had to be improvised.

Layers of Paint

Cole

Last Year I was presented a fantastic material.

It was a piece of a wall, to be precise a fragment of the paint which covered the wall for the last decade or more. This massive layer of paint contains a sector of hundrends of graffiti paintings. Like sediments full of history and stories…

Although making jewellery was the aim of the workshop, I took a different path. For me, naturally, I had to pay homage to the origin. Therefore I carved out a graffiti style, highlighting the source material, making a graffiti out of graffiti paint(ed) graffities.

This can be seen as an excursion in an experimental phase. I’d like returning to this possibility eventually.

Shout out to Opty for the inspiration!

 

The Wasp

Cole

Every summer the swarm intelligence of wasps appears…

A quick hall of fame action using the previous painting as a backdrop, applying additional square patterns with stencils.

Another brickd’n’painted style.

This is a stand alone piece which allows flexibility in the arrangement.

Shown at the recent Urban Sculptures Exhibition @ Pretty Portal.

Enjoy!

Colours in the Streets again

Cole

This summer seems to be more dedicated to the liquid plastic rather than the bricks.

Here a commissioned work on a transformer in Muelheim a.d.Ruhr. The Art Museum asked for adaption(s) of original art work from their collection reinterpreted with the spraycan. At the location I had a chat with the owner of the shop in the background asking for his preference since he has to see it every day.

The motives are adaptions of

  • ‘Orangene Kuh’ by Franz Marc
  • ‘Der Schwimmer’ by Verso
  • ‘Coke’ by Ha Schult

Frames & Layers

Cole

…out in the streets again!

Over the last few weeks I was working on an installation as part of the 40° Urban Art Festival 2016 in Duesseldorf. As working outside was dependent on the weather the whole progress was stretched over a few sessions.

I was prepared for a very short life time of the installation, but the actual half life was faster than expected. Like one day after doing one part of the door, already most of it was damaged or even stolen. It would have been nice to at least complete the installation before decomposition takes place. Therefore I had to post process the photos taken and merge them into one picture in order to show at least how it would have looked like.

Nevertheless it was fun and a great experience. People passing by were throughout positive and curious.
