On my way through the Auguststraße (
Berlin Biennale) there were more things than just the officially exhibited art that caught my eye.
Sticker art is far from beeing a new trend, even Heidelberg which often is very late with trends is plastered with stickers. A fellow student of mine startet a project called
Stick up New York two years ago concentrating on the New York sticker scene. You'll find tons of stickers on his
website. Also
Flickr is a very good source, search for photos tagged "sticker" or "stickerart".
For more stickers please check out
friends (besides that a very interessting website, which I'll feature in a later blog...). Stickers are a safe and polite way of conquering the public space. You can finish your art work relaxed at home and just need to stick it quick on your favoured wall outside "by accident". And - on the other side - they can be removed quite easy, at least easier than a "traditional" graffity work.
