fame, botten, Sprühfrisch-Poster

A discussion about historical Dresden graffiti and street art artefacts and an old-school graffiti meeting

“A cardboard box has been gathering dust in the Löbtau attic for decades.

I’ve always wondered what’s inside the lonely cardboard box standing in the corner. When I open it, I find graffiti magazines, a graffiti art book, old spray cans, various caps, Edding markers, a botten Vol. 2 DVD, a Sprühfrisch event poster, sketches, spray paint, slides and countless analog photos.

Questions immediately pop into my head:

How old might these things be?

Do individual items possibly have collector’s value?

What personal stories are attached to these artifacts?

And above all – WHO left this box here ? …”

In the discussion round, we would like to talk to experts from the Dresden graffiti scene and representatives of the city museum about the value of graffiti and street art artifacts. We want to find out to what extent the City Museum is interested in such objects and what significance the personal connection to the objects has. Of course, we are also asking the question: “How can Dresden’s graffiti and street art history be conveyed to posterity in a museum context?”

In the run-up to the panel discussion, we invite the local graffiti old school to a meeting to exchange ideas about the past and to explain terms of Dresden’s graffiti history to one or the other new schooler and urban art enthusiast.

We invite everyone to bring historical sketchbooks, photos, magazines, objects, etc. to the meeting to talk about the past.

For registered participants there will be a free drink and a piece of cake, please register by e-mail to info@lackstreichekleber.de or send a message via Instagram to @lackstreichekleber.
