27 Addicts: a graffiti / design experiment

27 ADDICTS is the documentation of the project ADDICTED TO GESTALTUNG: an experiment which is aiming for the point of intersection between graffiti and graphic design, as well as graffiti writing and computer-based design.

Boris Schmelter alias DYSET visits 27 like-minded graffiti artists, who are engaged as well with graphic design. The aim is to find innovative and independent ideas that deal with those genres in form and content. There is always one goal but there will be at least two ways to realise it: first the graffiti approach – preferably a spray-painted wall – after that the topic is dealt with graphically – with the help of design tools, like printing, photography and computer design.

The book contains the 27 emerged works as well as infos around the travels and the artists. More over 4 big interviews with Neck, Zedz, Toast and Boe/Viagrafik.

Graffiti.jp

here's what i found concerning graffiti in japan... some banksy, some obey giant, a lot of cool characters on the wall or as a sticker ,a lot of tags and a comissioned wall for belton japan. not many real pieces around osaka, and especially not kyoto. but i hear there's a whole lot of graffiti on the south island, and from what i see in japan's kaze magazine, people have to paint somewhere... japan has belton cans, available at a-store in osaka. and i have to say this again: the whole trip was made possible by conquest and bite. thank you all very much! pics inside.
