Throw-Ups<\/strong><\/sub><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

TOTHROWUP is the name of a Cologne-based collective dedicated to the documentation of graffiti \u2013 and its name says it all: their examination of the nowadays highly differentiated field of graffiti is concerned exclusively with the documentation of so-called throw-ups (and tags), i.e. relatively \u2018simple\u2019 and unpretentious writings in public space, which focus on reduced colours and the contour as a form-giving element. Outline. Fill-in. That\u2019s it. What attracts the collective to throw-ups are two aspects in particular: \u201cOn the one hand, […] to implement something \u2018fancy\u2019 with simple means. Secondly, in our opinion, there is unfortunately not much that really focuses on throwies as something independent. Throw-ups are often seen as trivialities, which are quickly \u2018put up\u2019 with leftover cans and then painted over by the next person with a \u2018real\u2019 picture. We would like to give more appreciation to throw-ups as a whole and convey their very special aesthetics\u201d, TOTHROWUP remark. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
