Die einen haben Angst vor ihr, andere suchen sie in der Agglomeration, und dritte fühlen sich magisch von ihr angezogen: die Stadt. Juri Steiner diskutiert mit den beiden Stadtexperten Anna Schindler und Philip Ursprung über urbane Bedürfnisse, Werte und Utopien der Schweizer Stadt- und Raumplanung.
Städte sind dynamisch: Sie schrumpfen, wachsen, passen sich an geographische, klimatische, politische und wirtschaftliche Situationen an. Aber bewegen sich die Seelen der Bewohnerinnen und Bewohner mit der Stadt? Urbanisten sagen, dass die Abneigung der Schweizerinnen und Schweizer gegen alles Wuchtige städtische Architektur hierzulande kaum möglich mache. Die Stadtentwicklerin Anna Schindler und der Architekturhistoriker Philip Ursprung erzählen vom Stadt-Land-Graben, den Herausforderungen des ebenso komplexen wie faszinierenden Systems Stadt und man in der Schweiz von den Favelas in der Dritten Welt alles lernen könnte.

Dorms. Tell us how you got started painting graffiti? It was the summer between 8th and 9th grade. I had just moved from Los Angeles to San Diego. My pop still lived up in Los Angeles and every other weekend I had to go visit him. I remember staring out the window and seeing all the graffiti on the freeways of LA in the '80s. When I moved to San Diego I rode my skateboard to a ditch with a homey from school and bombed it up with some wack shit. Who were some of your early influences? Well when I first started I gotta say Gkae, Chunk, Siner and Brail I didn't really start doing anything substantial until I met Huge, Fokus, and Chie. What do think about bombing, and street writers versus legal walls.
That is a double-edged sword for sure. How to you feel about Graffiti on the Internet? When I started writing there was no Internet, and mags were pretty hard to come by. Any good chase stories? In like 1998 I was living in Berkeley. I love rocking big walls and productions with themes and backgrounds. Interview with Graffiti Writer MONE | Alternative Control. MONE is a New York City graffiti writer and Freight King who’s been in the game for over two decades, before it became the latest trend. Starting out in the streets of Mount Vernon, New York in the late 1980s he progressed from bombing walls to painting freights in the early 1990s. His pieces are recognized from coast to coast. I recently had the opportunity to interview MONE about his graffiti work back in the day and the current state of street art. VM – When did you start painting and what inspired you to pick up a spray can for the first time?
MONE – I grew up in New York in the early 1980s, which was a really different time than now. VM – Did anyone take you under their wing when you were coming up? M – JENT taught me the most when I was young. VM – Do you prefer to paint with other writers or solo? M – It depended on my mood. VM – Who would you say is the most underrated writer? M – Of the writers that I personally saw painting I would have to say Vet TMC.
M – No. Priz and Stan. PRIZ: I started writing in 1979 in discreet and inconspicuous places at first, freely on unobserved neighborhood buildings and then on desolate subway station walls along Broadway. I was hanging out at a writers' corner in my school cafeteria and benching at select subway stations like 96th Street and 125th Street, where loners and introverts with some hidden talents converged and socialized. My neighborhood on the upper Westside of Manhattan was also a backdrop for elegant style signatures and distinctive masterpieces which were plastered on handball courts, park walls and school playgrounds by dynamic cats like JEAN 13, BILLROCK, REVOLT and DOZE to name a few.
During my inept period as a novice, I experimented with contours, indecipherable logograms in my blackbooks quite frequently. STAN: I started bombing in late 1979 till 1984. When I was in high school a classmate of mine named Junior used to hit the Broadway #1 line whenever he got the chance. Vidmar Köniz. Elektro Scooter | urbanetix blog.
