At the Pretty Portal the Hoodcompaneros prepare their exhibition "HIT YOUR HOOD"....

...and on the streets of Düsseldorf the permanent exhibition of known and unknown streetartists enlarges every day.

Here is the next Picturegallery.

Directly in front of our frontdoor the "Rheinbahn" (a German railway company)
dabbles in its own Streetart and therefore tears all Railways out of the ground.  The martial impressions are accompanied with an infernal jackhammer- soundperformance, which turned our stay at the gallery in the last few days into a very special experience.

Against the destroyed ground in front of our gallery we subtended the "Mutterboden"(transl.:topsoil). The at the "Open Source Festival" created work by Ben Mathis can be viewed until Thursday at the Pretty Portal.

"Mutterboden" is also a small foretaste to the exhibition "Hit your Hood" by the Hoodcompaneros Andy Kopp, Ben Mathis and Jerome Pflügler, which will be opened next Friday at 7 pm. The visitor can expect next to the exhibits some delicious Graffiti-Fingerfood, DJ Freaky Flow and a Photo action, in which the visitors can immortalize themselves as Street-Vandals.

You can find more Stencilgraffitis from Düsseldorf-Bilk here.

...is the opinion of the Cologne people and so they enrich their inner city around Ehrenstreet and the Cologne Dome with stickers and Stencilgraffitis.

Here are some pictures.

It was really nice,..the weather, the many people, the pokergame, the music, Ben Mathis' happening with the beer crates....here are a few impressions of and around our booth at the Open Source Festival.

The Open Source Festival approaches more and more. Pretty Portal is glad to take part with an own booth at this wonderful Open Air event at the Löricker Strandbad.

Because we liked the idea about the Beer-Crate-Battle so much, we will build two walls made of beer crates, which will be painted over by the artists Ben Mathis  (Hoodcompany,Düsseldorf) and Suki Bamboo (Zürich) in the course of the day. Both artists can be viewed with their exhibitions  this year at our Gallery.

For the Streetartists amongst you, we will bring some electrical panels with us, which  we will arrange  around our booth, so you can prettify them with your pens, spray cans and stickers. So bring along your best stickers. Pens and spray cans are at place.

Last but not least we'll do continuous "Sit and Go" Hold'em tournament. In rounds  á 10 players you can prove your Poker abilities. No Buy-In, who comes first, plays first...

We have photographed all exhibits of the artists  Roman Klonek, Slowboy, LET, Moh one, Jojo Esslin and Mexer of the One of Them Collective and compiled them for you in a picturegallery.
At least some sunshine on this rainy Monday.

 
Das Kyrill Poster von Mexer gibt es in einer Auflage von 30 Stück und ist zum Preis von 20,-  noch zu bekommen.

Not everyone has his own wall on his balcony or on his estate. That's sad, because everyone could have one and should have one. So that means to build a wall yourself.

All it takes are some beer crates, that are put together to a wall. That's totally easy and everyone can do it....
but how cool will it look like?

Themed "Graffiti on Beer Crates" the carriers of the website www.bierkastenbattle.de with the assistance of  www.hiphop.de call to a Graffiti-Battle of a special kind.

The way to the wonderful Croatia, where we celebrated the 50th anniversary of our friend Miki and exercised ourself as Pirates of the Adriatic Sea led us through Austria, to be exactly to Linz

and Graz.

Here, too, is an active Streetart-scene, which in Graz especially attracts attention with Stencilgraffitis.
