Een aantal weken geleden hadden we Philip Fokker @phvfokker te gast voor de opname van zijn podcast: HOE MAAK JE HET? @hoemaakjehet

In de 20 minuten durende Podcast geven we drie antwoorden op één vraag. De nadruk licht op het ontstaan van Dutch Graffiti Library, waarom we doen wat we doen en de toekomst..

De opname is nu te beluisteren via hmjl.nl of open.spotify.com

"At the time I was working in the hip-hop record store Streetsounds on the Binnenweg in Rotterdam. One day in early 1986, a group of Rotterdam locals of Surinamese descent came in and asked if this graffiti could hang there. We promoted street culture in those days and were already doing a lot with hip-hop. The graffiti hung there for about a year, then the owner I worked for got fed up with it. At the time there was also a lot of writing on buildings in the street and the neighborhood sometimes complained about that. I took the graffiti with me and kept it in the attic all this time", Peter van Wijngaarden.

Some inquiries suggest that this piece was made by members of the Crime Masters. A group of about 50 writers from Rotterdam in the mid-80s. On the back there are tags and names of Spyro, Jerry, Patty, CTC, MC J, Fritz.

Invitation exhibition The Same Line June 2005 black silkscreen printed on metal and signed. Thanks to Shave WOW INC, highly appreciated. Freshly added to the collection #dutchgraffitilibrary

'A Photo Exhibition About Graffiti Bombing'

The initiators of The Same Line often saw that various graffiti exhibitions misrepresent the phenomenon; substandard graffiti displayed as art or substandard art as graffiti. That is why they now want to show the 'real' work: graffiti bombing. This involves a high degree of action, not just the 'beautiful' result. The night trips are about more than shaking the aerosol; friendships are born or tested, cities are explored from within, urban lands are mined and appropriated. It is about smells and sounds, about fear and about respect. (Source Trendalert 2005)

Amsterdam 1975. Wij geven een feest (we give a party)...

“When I was young two friends and I gave a big party, for the invitation we painted a text on the then van Heutz monument in Amsterdam (now monument Nederlands – Indië). A photo of this inscription can be found in the book: Nederlandse straatkunst in de jaren zeventig (Dutch street art in the seventies), by Bas Roodnat. It was a fantastic party in the then building of the association "Ons Suriname." At 23.30 there were only 8 guests, from 23.45 it began to flow in, at 0.30 there were + / - 150 people, the street was full of bicycles! A band came to perform spontaneously, there was a mime artist and there were free drinks, bought by us. Everyone was beautifully dressed, mostly in white, which was the fashion at the time. At 6:00 it became quieter, suddenly it was very quiet, the music system we had borrowed had been stolen. We had to pay an additional 600 guilders...

The next day we had to clean up, a huge mess, we couldn't do that with our fuzzy heads. That's why the people of Our Suriname did it, very nice! It was a very nice party!”

Invitation to party, background story and note in book: Gust de Wit.

Dance music pioneers, brothers and New York graffiti legends—on one 12” record.

As DJs Frankie Bones and Adam X, brothers Frank and Adam Mitchell introduced rave culture to the New York area in the early 1990s. Both producers boast impressive discographies that stretch for three decades, but not everyone knows that Frankie and Adam also share an illustrious – some would say notorious – history as graffiti writers.
With the vinyl-only @ruyzdael release All Out Kings, both sides of the Mitchell brothers’ history come together for the first time.

In 2019, Ruyzdael Music in Amsterdam released Writers on Wax Volume 1, a compilation LP of previously unreleased music produced by an international group of artists, each of whom leading a double life as a graffiti artist. Frankie Bones’ and Adam X’s unique biographies are such a great fit for the concept that it deserves its own record in the Writers on Wax series.
With Adam appearing under his tag name VEN, both brothers contribute one track to All Out Kings, which is the legendary NYC graffiti crew AOK(for short) which they and PURE are members of.

Ruyzdael Music has released All Out Kings today. The vinyl only record can be pre-ordered directly from ruyzdael.com. A limited edition on red vinyl comes with a special photo sleeve!

With the mentality of graffiti ... The Books Happen is about artist Henny Overbeek's long-running project The Books Happen, in which he invites other artists and makers to create unique, handmade books in collaboration with him. The makers interact with each other, over each other and right through each other until unique collaborations or clashes of visual languages, symbols and meanings occur on each spread.

Check out the crowdfund campaign at www.voordekunst.nl and grab that C-print by Henny Overbeek and Boris Tellegen. Signed copies

Is het een Banksy? Is het een Invader?

Telefoon: Gabriel hier van ABC Architectuurcentrum Haarlem… We zijn bezig met de renovatie van een tentoonstellingsruimte. Bij het verwijderen van schotten voor de ramen die ons 30 jaar lang het zicht op de Egelantiertuin hebben ontnomen kwam er graffiti naar voren. Ik heb de verbouwingswerkzaamheden stopgezet. Ben benieuwd of het wat is?

Via de app krijgen we een foto doorgestuurd, iets wat voor de directeur van het @abchaarlem aanleiding is om contact op te nemen met Dutch Graffiti Library.

Jeko Rhone, Beverwijk station 1987. Beverwijk had an early graffiti scene of its own in the 1980s. Writers such as Tora, Rane, Jeko and the Rhone connection formed the CCCP Combination of Creative Crime Painters. The train tunnel under the North Sea Canal was used as a nighttime walking path to provide the IJmond area with some freshly painted burners. #dutchgraffitilibrary #ijm85 #beverwijkgraffiti #rhonewow

KLADMUUR HANGOUT: EARLY TAGS + GRAFFITI @worm_rotterdam
Eind jaren ’70, begin jaren ’80. In de pioniersjaren van grafiiti kwam de activiteit vanuit verschillende richtingen; enerzijds waren er de counterculturen van de punk, fanatieke voetbalsupporters en hiphop. Daarnaast was er interesse voor dit nieuwe fenomeen in de museumwereld. De Kladmuur Hangout herinnert in het laatste weekend van mei ’21 met een aantal podcast afleveringen, zine, expo en een filmvertoning aan deze beginperiode.

Donderdag 27 mei — 19.30u: Red Rat
Red Rat is een strip getekend door Johannes van de Weert, zanger van Rondos. In het stripverhaal De Avonturen van Red Rat namen magere ratten het met de moed der wanhoop op tegen de heersende klasse der corpulente varkens.

Vrijdag 28 mei — 19.30u: Ces53
Deze podcast gaat over een boek dat wordt uitgebracht. Over Rotterdam vroeger, maar ook kritische verhalen uit de oude doos. Over zelf nadenken en niet alles aannemen wat je wordt voorgeschoteld.

Zaterdag 29 mei — 19.30u: Wessel Wessels & rotterdamgraffiti010
Deze uitzending gaat over het verzamelen en publiceren van graffitifoto’s; eerder in een boek en nu op Instagram. Een van de makers van het boek Graffiti in Rotterdam in gesprek met rotterdamgraffiti010

Host van alle podcasts: Jaap van der Doelen (Hiphop In Je Smoel) @hiphopinjesmoel

Filmvertoning Groeten uit Rotterdam
De film Groeten uit Rotterdam het gehele weekend lang te streamen via IFFR unleashed. Dit controversiële drieluik geeft een inkijkje in de wonderlijke Rotterdamse kunst- en muziekwereld aan het begin van de jaren tachtig.

Kladmuur hangout is een samenwerking tussen WORM, Hiphop In Je Smoel, Mick la Rock @micklarock01 en Kladmuur @kladmuur Partner: Groninger Museum @groningermuseum

Alle podcast uitzendingen zijn achteraf terug te luisteren, vindt de streaming links en meer informatie over de podcasts en de makers check @worm_rotterdam

SKG - Martijn Haas. Signed by Erik Hobijn and Martijn Haas, released December 20, 2010. Collection Dutch Graffiti Library

When the Paradiso management invited the Amsterdam art guerrilla group SKG (Stads Kunst Guerrilla) to give a party in December of 1980, they hardly realized what they were getting themselves into. The SKG is no ordinary artists' group, but, led by the then 23-year-old fire artist Erik Hobijn, emerges like a worm from the heart of Amsterdam's squatting world and operates as a chaotic, quasi-RAF-like cell aimed at disrupting meetings by throwing smoke bombs and commenting on contemporary manifestations through graffiti by Dr. Rat.

Beastie Boys - Body movin' 1998 art direction by @ceyadams wallet sleeve CD.

Cey Adams, a New York City native, emerged from the downtown graffiti movement to exhibit alongside fellow artists Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring. He appeared in the historic 1982 PBS documentary Style Wars which tracks subway graffiti in New York. As the Creative Director of hip hop mogul Russell Simmons’ Def Jam Recordings, he co-founded the Drawing Board, the label’s in-house visual design firm, where he created visual identities, album covers, logos, and advertising campaigns for Run DMC, Beastie Boys, LL Cool J, Public Enemy, Notorious B.I.G., Maroon 5, and Jay-Z.

What is a king? The king of style, the king of bombing, a writer who masters all aspects of the culture. Excels in a particular area or is he all city? Or is it a writer who influence others? Everyone in this culture has their own king. With or without a crown like a master in a neighborhood, a small village or a bigger city, they inspire other writers and show us how it could be done.

RIP Jim Prigoff. With his book Spraycan Art, he ensured that graffiti was documented in Europe, the rest of the world and that New York City graffiti became visible. With this book, he and Henry Chalfant opened the eyes of thousands of kids who entered the graffiti culture from that moment on. 30 years later, Jim Prigoff wrote the afterword for our book Disz. The first Dutch writer bombing the New York City subway. Disz met Jim Prigoff in 1986 in NYC. This resulted in a collaboration with regard to the Australian photos in the book Spraycan Art. Thanks for the contribution in the Disz book and above all for Spraycan Art one of the most iconic and classic releases in the culture. Rest in peace
