Kempering was more than a parking garage. Various

Kempering was more than a parking garage. Various texts and graffiti are the silent witnesses of Kempering as a playground, athletics track, cultural hotspot, refuge and workplace for emerging or arrived writers.

Dutch Graffiti Library in collaboration with @micklarock01 and @imagine_ic are working on a publication to ensure the Kempering heritage.

The publication will provide an impression of the rich variety of graffiti in garage Kempering, the stories behind it and the little illuminated meaning and role of graffiti in the Bijlmer.

September 2020 expected release date.

Added to the collection. We would say a highly recommend book published by @mfaboston: Writing the Future. Basquiat and the Hip-Hop Generation

The post-graffiti movement in 1980s New York City marked the transition of street art from city walls and subway trains onto canvas and into the art world. Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960–1988) became the galvanizing, iconic frontrunner of this transformational and insurgent movement in contemporary American art, which resulted in an unprecedented fusion of creative energies that defied longstanding racial divisions. This exhibition features his works in painting, sculpture, drawing, video, music, and fashion, alongside works by his contemporaries—and sometimes collaborators—A-One, ERO, Fab 5 Freddy, Futura, Keith Haring, Kool Koor, LA2, Lady Pink, Lee Quiñones, Rammellzee, and Toxic.
The exhibition is accompanied by an illustrated catalogue produced by MFA Publications and edited by co-curators Liz Munsell, the MFA’s Lorraine and Alan Bressler Curator of Contemporary Art, and Greg Tate, writer, musician, and author of Flyboy in the Buttermilk and Flyboy 2: The Greg Tate Reader.

These pictures came out of the Disz portfolio map that was part of his legacy and courtesy of the DGL collection. Disz didn't take he photos himself but maybe became owner due to a trade deal during his stay in NYC from December 1985 up to the end of February 1986. #disz #dutchgraffitilibrary

Finally in the collection, this amazing gem. Kings

Finally in the collection, this amazing gem. Kings Way The Book Pty Ltd - The writers edition hardcover 073/250. Kings Way is a comprehensive account of the first decade of the graffiti writing subculture in Melbourne, Australia. Beginning in 1983, as the New York break dancing craze was sweeping the globe, Kings Way tells the story of the development of a hardcoreunderground scene of local "writers" and their commitment to "getting up". Using the city's walls and trains as their canvases, these writers pioneered the elaborate spray-paint murals that now dominate Melbourne's cityscape. #dutchgraffitilibrary Thanks to @theartofshem #kingsway

From the book ‘The Dutch adventures of Keith Har

From the book ‘The Dutch adventures of Keith Haring’. Piece HARD TIMES, GOOD TIMES, BETTER TIMES! by Niels Shoe Meulman, Jan Rothuizen and Thomas Termaat (Joker) from the Amsterdam graffiti crew United Street Artists, Van Eeghenstraat, Amsterdam, 1985. This wall clearly impressed Keith Haring and connected him to @janrothuizen and @nielsshoemeulman .

When American artist Keith Haring (born in Reading, Pennsylvania, on May 4, 1958), comes to the Netherlands for his first solo exhibition in Amsterdam in the spring of 1986, he doesn’t spend all his time at the Stedelijk Museum. He goes out, to into the city, making friends with graffiti writers near his hotel. With his vibrant bouncy figures and easy going attitude Keith is a perfect match.
