the exhibition, ‘Backjumps – The Live Issue’ opened,
it hit like a bomb. Within six weeks up to 12,000 visitors wanted
to see the rooms decorated by street artists of the Kunstraum Bethanien
in Berlin." Die Zeit.de
"What
started as a graffiti magazine developed into a print medium for communication
and aesthetics in the urban space and from there into a medium in
the live context. 2003 the first 'Live Issue' was organized by the
Backjumps team - with overwhelming success." Piranha
"A
Berlin exhibition liberates graffiti from their poor image."
Süddeutsche Zeitung
"Rarely
has an exhibition has attracted so many young people, and it also
succeded better in intergrating, children and residents from the neighborhood
as many well-intentioned Street festivals did." Zitty-
Berlin city magazine
"The
organizers in their official program and its press releases do not
even bother to disguise their illegal graffiti activities" Berliner
Morgenpost
"The
CDU (christian socialist conservative party) is outraged that an exhibition,
which presents property damaging vandalisim recieves cultural funding.
Though all this agitation is of no use, the CDU activists should only
go into Bethanien. Then they would see, that Streetart has arrived
in the arts for a long time. Their exhibits are not only presented
in the White Cube, they think the White Cube now. " DE:
