Many, if not all of you know streetart. I just found this link on Nerdcore and after watching the movie i must say, it expresses a lot of my opinion about that art. Also it gives you an insight of the motivation of the artist, which can be just a smile of someone passing by or just catching people attention for a second. For me that´s where the new galleries are: in the streets! It´s like the internet for art. Everybody can express themselves. Only thing to acknowledge is the lack of respect, because there´s plenty of space. If you like streetart, be sure to visit arrrgh which can be seen a lot in Hannover where i am from!

This is a really nice project i found on Facebook. The goal of it is to have young artists´ work featured on the Times Square instead of just advertisements. Everybody can contribute their work or money to make this happen. Make sure you become a Facebook fan, send in your art or donate money. via: http://www.timessquaretoartsquare.org

It´s been a year now since my friend Party Arty (D.I.T.C./Ghetto Dwellas) died of undisclosed health complications. I got to know Arty when we booked A.G. for the Burnin´ Beatz HipHop Festival in 2001. A.G.´s "The 'Dirty Version" was out for a year and even though the Album missed "The Hit" it was one of the best Albums released in 1999. When A.G. told me the names of his crew for the flight tickets, one of them was Arthur Sheridan. It struck me that A.G. was going to bring that rough voice heard on his Album, better known a Party Arty. I can say we really had a good time with those guys here in Hannover. In 2002 i made it to New York and also to Patterson Projects in the Bronx, the home of HipHop. Arty and A.G. showed us around and we got to hang out with them and the rest of the Ghetto Dwellas. In the following years i made it to a lot of shows with him all around Germany and eventually booked them again myself while i was working for Faust e.V.. Arty really was a humble Person, always caring about his people and he had a voice that stood out in a million! He was going to be signed by 50 Cent, but his death put an end to his career, which nearly made him achieve his dream. The video shows Arty in his home in the South Bronx, where i´ve been visiting him. R.I.P. Homie!
