Today; Women who Love Graffiti

There are so many great events taking place today. I decided to go to these two:

In honour of Cooper’s work, Montana Cans has produced a brand new triptych 
of her work over 3 cans as the latest edition in their ‘Iconic’ series. 
They will be sold at Martha Cooper's new show, 'Snap Wrap' features over 300 
images from around the world. Ranging from her seminal 1970s and 80s images 
of New York Graffiti, right through to the modern artists that are making waves 
in the streets today. 
Martha herself will also be present on the evening to sign her special edition.

Today at 7pm

Urban Nation

Bülowstr. 97

I am also looking forward to this little gem:
After seven years, blood sweat and tears, Sany is proud to present her film about 
girl power in the graffity scene. Can't wait to finally see this one at Urban Spree

KIDS

In hommage to Martha Cooper and her perfect 70's photo series Street Play, 
John Ahearn is presenting Walton Avenue Kids. In the 80's, Ahearn, in 
collaboration with Rigoberto Torres regularly used the sidewalk in front of 
his building as a life casting studio and a display of all the neighborhood 
portraits. 
This was especially exciting during summer Block Parties with DJs and 
crowds of people. Unlike most parts of NYC, many neighborhoods in the 
Bronx now have the same families as they did thirty years ago. In 2008, 
Walton had a reunion Block Party. John Ahearn set up casts from the 80's and 
life cast the cousin of his old friend Raymond Garcia. Martha Cooper was 
present to beautifully capture the mood. 
For the installation Walton Avenue Kids, all the 80's casts of kids (seen in 
context in Martha Cooper's photos) will be arranged at the 

Dorian Grey Gallery
437 East 9th Street @ Avenue A 
Manhattan, New York

Happy 70th Birthday Marty!

Happy Hour

Meeting great personalities is an awsome side effect of my work as a Photographer....
makes the job feel like a series of exciting blind dates!
I am stunned and so grateful, for all the love people showed...

....and I can't wait to release the pictures soon! Altough I did not enjoy the l
uxury of having a day off this positive stress in the last few weeks, I did get
a few hours to go out and spend time with long missed, lovely people in lovely
places. Luckily most writers in Berlin have a great taste when it comes to shoes! Off, to party.. And finally home after a long day! © Julia Schoierer
