Noise, Rap, Disturbed

I found this on Kastanienallee in Prenzlauer Berg on May 1st. There is another one under the bridge in Mitte near Alexanderplatz.

In part 3 of the 5-piece video series Martha Cooper talks about her current art project in her hometown of Baltimore.

Martha Cooper talking about making money out of street art and showing her favourite adidas sneakers!

We met Martha Cooper in New York and got an interview. She talked about her passion for street art and showed us her sticker collection from all over the world. Enjoy the first part of our interviews of Martha Cooper.

Whoever has a close watch on the iTunes Store has already noticed that our app has already been available with the Hamburg city option for a couple of weeks now.
Today we finally celebrate the official launch of the Urban Art Guide Hamburg with a nice little press walk and an even nicer party in cooperation with Vice magazine.

One thing's for sure: Hamburg's worth a while and we're uber glad to now have the opportunity to show all street art fans great and versatile art pieces in the 'northern capital' of Germany - very smoothly via the app, of course.

You can download the app here.

An interview with Dan Ericson aka The Signtologist who inspires us (and quite a number of celebs) with his very literal approach to 'street' art by painting old, discarded street signs. Luckily for us there's a certain micro-blogging thing called Twitter that allowed us to get in touch with the Denver-based artist (follow him @THESIGNTOLOGIST). He was kind enough to answer our e-mail interview below. Thank you to the artist (for answering so quickly and waiting so patiently)! >> check out the interview

The things we find on the web again and again and of course major artists like Os Gemeos strongly prove it: Street art has a very hearty home in Brazil. So get ready for a lot of differenty styles and vividly colored murals in this small book.

Get it here.

Very insightful book with impressive pictures about graffiti in Oaxaca, Mexico where graffiti became a way of achieving social justice - mainly supported by women. Very interesting to look beyond one's own nose every once in a while!

The book is available here.

Looking very far east we recognize that there's a very vivid, say explosive, street art thing going on in Japan which this book explores thoroughly.

Available here.

If you would want to prepare for the UAG launch in Hamburg you could perfectly use this book about Hamburg's street art world. So... why are we talking woulds?

Just order it here.

Let's talk classics. On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Martha Cooper's Subway Art we have no trouble speaking of a true classic. Back to the roots with bombed subway trains and New York of the early 80ies. How do you say? Must-have!

Available here for example.

Blek le Rat, old dog. The French stencil-artist has probably worked the streets when we were but a mere idea in the heads of our parents. Which is why he well deserves a place in our book shelves.

Buy the book here.

French photographer JR impresses us again and again with his large-scale photo-installations all around the world. This book is about his project "Women are Heroes".

Purchase the book here for example.

Beautiful photo book that captivates us with great pictures of known and unknown artists from all over the world and a teensy bit of text. By now there's also a part II to love.

Both parts are available here.

By now more or less a classic of all street art books. With beautiful pictures of internationally renowned Banksy's artworks. Even my mum has added this to her collection. No kidding!

See the publication house here.

On The Run regularly publishes a new book in their series focusing on one aspect of street art, a certain artist or a location. All in all a pretty impressive and interesting collection to show off with.

All publications so far can be found here.
