during my three-day tour through hamburg, i arranged to meet up with louisa \u2013 an expert in the area of \u201cstreet art in hamburg\u201d. our meeting not only resulted in a mural tour through altona & st. pauli, but also in an exclusive appointment at the OZM<\/a> art space, an urban art gallery \u2013 right in the middle of sternschanze \u2013 which has been exhibiting graffiti and installations by well-known artists from the street art scene for years. although already closed to the public, we had the one-off chance to thoroughly explore this fascinating art space \u2013 just before its upcoming demolition in the spring of 2018 \u2013 and to really immerse ourselves in the space one last time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

in any case, the building looked impressive from the outside, as the complete facade had been freshly sprayed by three graffiti legends: \u201cwon abc<\/a>\u201d with a \u201cphoenix rising from the ashes\u201d rocket in the entrance area, loomit<\/a> with a huge fish and accompanying sailing ships at the front towards the entrance gate and tasek with a luminous typographic work and the unambiguous message \u201cimpermanence\u201d on the side opposite the railway tracks. although the electricity in the building would be turned off sometime over the next few days and one would have expected an apocalyptic mood and creative chaos, there was more of a peaceful, laid-back ambiance in an all-encompassing, final creative phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
