Is there life after spray paint? Long condemned as vandalism, the public’s perception of graffiti is slowly changing. Ubiquitous and with a natural affinity to architecture, this form of expression has not only established itself as a part of youth culture but has also become a fundamental aspect of the modern city. 
An offspring of this scene, writing has become no less than contemporary urban calligraphy. While the classic New York style of writing was once limited to the world of street gangs, it has now left its mark on virtually all visual disciplines. Strictly speaking the arrangement of spaces by outlines, writing has become an invaluable influence and inspiration, especially in the realms of graphic design, motion graphics, fashion, packaging and architecture. 
Compiled by Berlin activists and designers Markus Mai and Arthur Remke, the book Writing surveys this appropriation of public space and examines the detailed fusion of analogue writing and digital design as well as post-graffiti concepts. Broken down into the chapters tags, throw-ups, lettering, objects, graphic design and street art, the content documents the current, changing influences of writing, art and graphics. The featured work ranges from designs done in pencil, marker and spray paint to architectural models, which implement writing’s calligraphy as three-dimensional objects or buildings.

Sviatchenko, Sergei

Arguably one of the most influential innovators of modern collage. Sergei Sviatchenko’s work leaves viewers in a state of satisfied confusion. The Ukrainian-Danish artist’s intent and message might not be immediately clear or understandable, but his images still resonate with their viewers―like dreams. In the world of contemporary art, Sviatchenko is a provocateur. He draws on and harnesses all of the cultural tides he has experienced in 40 years of image-making. Sviatchenko’s oeuvre spans the known and the unimaginable. It cuts through the boundaries of traditional and contemporary visuals to merge pop culture with politics, personal memory with collective histories, and architecture and science with the logic of dreams. Sergei Sviatchenko has worked with a broad range of subjects and media. He experiments, challenges, and abolishes where other artists move within established comfort zones. From his early work as a conceptual artist and collage maker, he moved on to abstract painting and has done commissions and large scale murals for international brands and institutions. More recently, Sviatchenko has created the fashion-forward photography project Close Up and Private. With a portfolio and methodology in perpetual evolution, his influences include modernism, surrealism, and rock music. Sviatchenko’s collages and paintings have been exhibited around the world and featured in celebrated magazines such as Dazed & Confused, Kilimanjaro, Varoom, Elephant, This is a magazine, Rojo, Viewpoint, and Blueprint. In our world of sensory overload, Sergei Sviatchenko stands out as an artist with unique vision. This vision encompasses our ever-shifting visual culture while maintaining a precise, individual voice that continues to delight, surprise, and inspire. Everything Goes Right & Left If You Want It is the first comprehensive collection of Sviatchenko’s collage and painting.
