This exhibition showcases the development of graffiti and street art in the border region of Germany, Switzerland, and France. Since 2010, Lörrach's "Open Bridge" under the motorway bridge in Grütt Park has provided a legal platform for graffiti art. Based on this vibrant scene, photographer Martin Schulte-Kellinghaus documents the development of the art form with selected images from the early 1980s to today's murals and urban projects. The exhibition explores how graffiti evolved from an illegal act into a recognized art form and offers insights into its various facets: from the first graffiti in Zürich and Basel to current projects from Mannheim to Mulhouse and Lörrach. The exhibition also reveals the roots of modern graffiti culture in the United States, but its main focus is on its development in the tri-border region of the Upper Rhein since the early 1980s. A diverse program of events, including guided tours, lectures, spray painting workshops, and interactive activities, invites visitors to discover the art form for themselves.
