In febuary 2009 the bremen radio station „bremen vier“ started a unique request in the history of „radio bremen“. For this request everybody was called to make a voluntary contribution to finally achieve a non-commercial aim.
The listeners were asked to search for „the uglyest wall“ in the coverage and to apply with it. Of all the ugly walls, that were registered, a silo-wall in Verden, a small town near bremen, won.
Markus Genesius better known as „Wow123“ agreed to spray the wall – together with his colleague „Puks66“ he turned „the ugliest wall“ into „the prettiest wall“.
About 300 squaremeters had been cleaned, primed and finally sprayed. What was planed to take 3-4 days ended in a 4 weeks lasting action.
To make all that possible a huge amount of people worked voluntarily, offered their time and support and sponsored material, food and shelter to keep the whole thing going and to finally form this impressive artwork.

Monday the 16th of March saw the first ever Black Book Workshop at the Berghs School of Communication in Stockholm Sweden. The organisers of this unique event managed to import Old Skool Graffiti legend "Part One" from New York City to welcome the students into the Graffiti Culture phenomenom of Black Booking.

Part One from TDS – The Death Squad – has brought his art to Stockholm, Sweden. The ambitious program includes both lectures and workshops – and an exhibition called Part One Longevity at Bastard Gallery.

Berghs School of Communication is one of the leading schools in Scandinavia on Graphic Design and Marketing, and the school was the first to engage in Part One’s visit to Sweden. "As a drawing or sketchingtechnique it´s definitely relevant as a Graphic Designstudent to explore and develop the possibilities working with Blackbooks. Enrique was also a great tutor and inspiring personality " says Pålle Petterson, course director Graphic Design, Berghs School of Communication.

Part’s activity at Berghs included a lecture for students at the school and invited guests of the Stockholm graffiti community, two workshops in Blackbook techniques with the students in Graphic Design. Part One also did a piece in the school building. The piece and the workshops were supported by Montana, so that each student got a blackbook and the school got a wide selection of markers to use.

Part One’s visit was widely appreciated by the students of the school as well as the staff. Especially the workshops were a great success, and the students only reluctantly gave up working in their books when it was time to quit. On the behalf of Part One and as project leader of Part One’s visit in Sweden I would like to thank Montana for the support – it was crucial for the success of our project.

Check out the pictures and we will hopefully be receiving a few words and some film footage from the organisers soon..
