Unwritten. Erfgoed van de Nederlandse graffiticultuur

Een nieuw project van Dutch Graffiti Library.
Samen met schrijvers, geïnteresseerde en betrokken gaan we de komende maanden een verkenning uitvoeren naar wat als waardevol cultureel (graffiti) erfgoed wordt gezien en waar dit uit bestaat.

Door de Covid maatregelen zijn de geplande fysieke bijeenkomsten even on hold tot betere tijden. We ontwikkelen nu een digitaal alternatief om gedachten, verhalen en zienswijze op te halen.

Meer weten of geïnteresseerd? Check onze site.

Unwritten. Erfgoed van de Nederlandse graffiticultuur is een initiatief van Dutch Graffiti Library en is (mede) mogelijk gemaakt door het Fonds voor Cultuurparticipatie. Het Fonds voor Cultuurparticipatie ondersteunt initiatieven die meedoen aan cultuur stimuleren.

Marc Oosting – META.HEAVY
The world of freight train painting is massive. there are many freights. there are many compelled to paint freights. there are many documenting freights. for private pleasure. for collecting. for completing the archive. for telling the truth. to shine light upon what is out there. one freight after another. and another. and another.

meta.heavy brings together a strict selection of documented painted freights unlocking a world hidden in quantity.

We are proud to announce our first step of 2021! Under the roof of Denim City, located in the renovated old tram depot De Hallen Amsterdam, we put graffiti on the map as cultural heritage.

From this historic location where different stories come together, we take the next step with Dutch Graffiti Library. By showing work, sharing knowledge and actively looking for collaboration, we create interest in graffiti heritage.

Information and timeline coming soon...

Christmas is the time of wishes, gifts and stories. These three aspects come together in the most legendary Christmas train ever sprayed. The 1976 Christmas 10 car wholetrain by @leequinones and The Fabulous 5ive. A true Christmas story of friendship and an amazing gift to the people of New York. Published in the book Getting Up Subway Graffiti in New York by Craig Castleman, 1984 by MIT press. The ultimate true on facts based Christmas story.

"At Fifty-ninth, the people saw it, at Eighty-sixth there wasn't a big crowd, but at 125th, wow! It stopped right up to the platform so that you didn't get a long view, you had to walk in right through the pieces. The station was packed and people were walking into the pieces with their eyes open, like “Wow, man.” It was nice to have it pull up right in front of you and then to get inside of it with the windows all painted. They probably didn't know it was graffiti; they probably thought the city was doing something good for a change. "

Shown here a 1983 Volkskrant the Netherlands article about NYC subway graffiti wit a detailed picture of the Santa claus painted on one of the cars. Check also today's post @leequinones

For Dr.Boogie by Shoe USA CTK Amsterdams, 1985. A strange almost abstract painting on canvas done by @nielsshoemeulman back in the days. Signed on the back Shoe USA CIA. The Mark tags and the signing with the green marker isn't done by Shoe. Also mention the name Mark Morgan. We do know that this canvas is @paradisoadam related, the Amsterdam Dutch music venue and cultural centre. No other bells are ringing. Our thoughts that this one was done as a gift for an artist named Dr.Boogie.... any information please share.

Quest for knowledge: Marc N.Y.C USAF 1985 painted denim jacket. Signed "By Edgar V. Return to burn in '85" and on top a Snashone (?) tag. Found this one recently, and we didn't have more info. It looks like that its done in 1985 for a guy named Marc from NYC who joined the USAF (United States Airforce). Anyone more information or other thoughts please share.

Why Oh Why...

The publication War of Words was published 10 years ago to celebrate the 20 year anniversary of the WOW crew. WOW is an Utrecht, The Netherlands, originated graffiti crew known for style, dedication and perseverance for doing their work on trains mainly. This publication, a time-capsule printed in newspaper format - matching the characteristics of the subject, graffiti - found great demand. A limited edition only of 400 copies found its way worldwide easy and was gone in a couple of days. A video promoting and stressing the exclusivity of the project helped spreading the word.

Now guess what…?
We have heard that a small remaining part of the editions has been found in the dungeons. And that a new idea has been born. Stay tuned... if we know more in the upcoming days we will notify you.

A writer's blackbook. One of the most iconic objects within the graffiti culture. A book for personal style development and above that a befriended writer's quest book, invitation only. A blueprint of the skills, the crews and the connections of the blackbook owner. Take a look into this mid 90s up to early 20 century book of a true style writer Selone TFP.

Graffiti in de Kempering. Een nieuw boek door Dutch Graffiti Library in samenwerking met @micklarock01

Als in de zomer van 2019 het definitieve besluit valt om de allerlaatste parkeergarage in originele Bijlmerstijl te slopen, lopen de gemoederen hoog op. Na meerdere bijeenkomsten, georganiseerd door @imagine_ic , wordt de wens uitgesproken door de bewoners en andere betrokkenen om de graffiti in de garage te documenteren en zo na de sloop te behouden.

168 pagina’s op formaat 235x295, softcover genaaid gebrocheerd met open rug en zwart garen met beelden en verhalen van schrijvers als Shet, Even, AZHQ, THE Rapser, Mickey, Ezel, Jake, Brush, Sush, Nuke, Fidel, Niels Shoe Meulman en Anopsy. Naast de verhalen uit de Kempering wordt in een extra hoofdstuk de weinig belichte historische betekenis en rol van graffiti in en voor de Bijlmer toegelicht.

Tekst in het Nederlands. Link in bio.

The most important thing to start off an underground subculture is having a group of likeminded individuals with the abbility to create something completely new, or to recreate something already in existance in such way that it turns into something never seen before. The second most important thing is having a place where these pioneers can nurture and grow their skills till it becomes an entity of its own. A place where followers of the newborn subculture gather and have the possibility to learn the tricks of the trade. Where they can study the work of those who came before them and have the possibility to meet the pioneers.

When the graffiti virus came to Europe early eighties and spread through Amsterdam it had to find a breeding ground. Writers need uncontrolled urban areas without interfearance of the local authorities to develop their skills and styles in peace and quiet.Throughout the history of Amsterdam graffiti there were a couple of very important areas which played a big part in the development of the graffitiscene. One of these was the underpass in the Vondelpark named as De Vondelbrug.

Shown in these sliders pieces by Quik, Delta, Top, Zap, Joker and Shoe. 1984/85/86.

A new book by Dutch Graffiti Library in collaboration with @micklarock01

When the final decision is made in the summer of 2019 to demolish the very last parking garage in the original Bijlmer style, tempers run high. After several meetings, organized by @imagine_ic, residents and other stakeholders expressed the wish to document the graffiti in the garage and thus preserve it after demolition.

Graffiti in the Kempering is also available as a limited edition in an edition of 40 copies.

Flashback Friday to 2015 with the first official cooperation between DGL and an outside party. It happened when we were contacted by @christianomodeo (founder of Paris based graffiti- and street art platform / bookshop @legrandjeu) back in 2014. Christian was the curator of the first ever high level graffiti book show for the Venice Art Biennale 2015. The bookshow was a part of the Post Graffiti exhibition The Bridges of Graffiti. He wanted to show a selection of around 140 of the most influential graffiti books ever published. Together these books formed a reflection of the entire graffiti culture. The core of the show were books loaned by five private collectors of which Dutch Graffiti Library was one. Our books were shown at the Venice Art Biennale 2015 in furniture designed by @boris_tellegen. Shown on the second slide one of our collection highlights presented in the wooden case the catalog NEW YORK GRAFFITI WRITERS 1972 – 1984. New York: Gallozzi La Placa Gallery, 1984.

Sketch by Shave WOW 1988, marker and pen on paper, size 210 x 297, framed. This iconic sketch symbolizes a period in time in which writers such as Shave, Rhone, Dephazer, Rhythm, Beat42, Sism and others underwent a style development to eventually arrive at the flow that Shave records in this sketch. A game changing start of an tremendous amount of burners.

Yesterday we visited the Covid-proof opening of @henny_overbeek, Sky is Full, Head is Empty (Ballpoint too)'

Sixty pens empty. Twenty hours of cramping and a number of inflamed arms further. An impressive and beautiful collection of 15 new works: from large drawings that together form an installation to smaller work.

In addition to his autonomous artistic practice, Henny is also working on his project "The Books Happen", in which he creates artist's books with various makers, many of whom have roots in the graffiti culture. "Sky is Full, Head is Empty (Ballpoint too)" also features a selection from "The Books Happen".

Late eighties, The Hague, Schilderswijk. An infamous hall of fame where it was very clear who shuffled and dealt the cards. As an outsider you had no chance here. Legendary crews such as The Split Force, Rock Crime Vandalism, The Def Connection and Naughty Nasty Nuts guaranteed quality and burners of a very high level. In those years, medals and podium places were distributed on the hall of fame in Schilderswijk in The Hague. Inspiration and impressive to this day. Here is a 1988 masterpiece by Eras from Rotterdam, Sense (Trick) and Sea (KaySea) from The Hague.

In the Netherlands in 1986 there are more and more magazines that pay attention to the new phenomenon of graffiti. The weekly magazine EPPO Wordt Vervolgd is one of the first to make it a recurring topic. With Sjors and Sjimmie in the lead, the graffiti culture gets a lot of attention in the magazine. The highlight was a graffiti competition. Sketches are sent in from all over the Netherlands and the winners are chosen by a jury that includes Robert van der Kroft and Hein de Kort. A wooden fence in Haarlem was the place where the designs of the winners were executed.

An other well known article that was published in Eppo Wordt Vervolgd was called Graffiti Expedition. @robertvanderkroft the designer of the comic Sjors & Sjimmie going on a mission with the Badboyz Inc crew from Rotterdam. A trip to Amsterdam with Jean, Jale and others to hook up with Amsterdam based Dane GVB (rip) to paint a SjoSji piece. #eppo #sjorsensjimmie #graffitihistory #badboyzinc #dutchgraffitilibrary

Do graffiti or street art belong in a museum? And if so, what is the format? The following anecdote proves that this question is of all times.

In 1979 there is an exhibition in Museum Fodor: Tutti Frutti. Fodor was a museum on the Keizersgracht in Amsterdam that existed from 1863 to 1993. The Tutti Frutti exhibition was curated by Karel Meijers. In addition to works by emerging Amsterdam artists, Meijers has reserved a great part for "street art". Dr. Rat is central and is supplemented with work by fellow writers. From gallery Anus on the Sarphatistraat a sketch is sent how the layout should be and what the fee is for the "services provided". Meijers complies with this and fits the punk graffiti into his exhibition.

During the opening in September 1979 the management of the museum is treated to a piece of unadulterated and authentic graffiti mentality. The entire museum is bombed from top to bottom. The management of Fodor was not amused by the choice to institutionalize graffiti with this exhibition.

Shoe 2020 - Openings of new exhibitions and people gathering are impossible due to the Covid-19 restrictions, but also these days there are new chapters written.... like today by @nielsshoemeulman with the solo exhibition #whatthefuck? and installation #shoeinthemiddle @straatmuseum Shoe made a crossover between the past and the present by painting an oldskool piece on a wall made of 'Shoe is my middle name' bookbricks. Which is not really the end result, because every book is unique and for sale ...

Much has been written in recent years and a lot of catching up has been made in the knowledge and reporting on the history of the Amsterdam graffiti culture. It is generally accepted that 'real' New York graffiti writing was not visible in Amsterdam until the late 1970s ... or maybe ...

SEISMOGRAFFITI – number 1 and 2, signed and numbered. Published 2018 and 2019. Both limited to 200 copies.

SEISMOGRAFFITI invited writers to take part in book projects which exclusively focuses on black-and-white drafts. Writers give insight into a part of their works which usually remains unrecognized in their private archives.

The publication shows once again that sketches can be much more than an ordinary preparation for a planned piece. In SEISMOGRAFFITI sketching is acknowledged as stylewriting practice building and developing an own and individual style, while at the same time the sketch itself is revalued as an equivalent work of graffiti art.

Five years ago from 18 September 2015 until 24 January 2016 the Amsterdam Museum presented ‘Graffiti. New York meets the Dam’. This was the first exhibition in the Netherlands to be dedicated solely to New York and Amsterdam graffiti art from the 1970s and 80s. The Amsterdam Museum worked closely on this exhibition with the Museum of the City of New York. DGL is still grateful that we were able to contribute. And that we could made the catalog 'Graffiti. New York meets the Dam' independently together with Mick La Rock. #dutchgraffitilibrary #newyorkmeetsthedam #amsterdammuseum @amsterdammuseum @museumofcityny
