Alex Hanke is the creative head of Zum Heimathafen, which is both a studio for graphic design and illustration, and a screen printing company with a strong focus on concert posters and portable drawings.

For the student dormitories of “Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg”, Alex created a design that easily could be realised on the grainy surface of the facade, matching at the same time the location and the two different sides of the structure itself.

Despite the amount of different sized windows or the front wall’s edge of the building, the design manages to create an overall impression, combining all its parts.

According to the artist himself, the design would have been more detailed if conditions were different but Alex, who describes himself as a problem solver, did not compromise anything and found in the complexity of such a task the incentive to deal with it and overcome it.

Christoph Haessler aka “Stohead” is one of the most famous street artists in Germany.

Starting his artistic path from a graffiti background in the late 80´s, Stohead specialized in calligraphy with a focus on typeface and letters.

In 2022 the artist designed and realized a facade of 750 square meters of the new residential complex “Waterkant” (a project developed by Gewobag) in Berlin-Spandau.

The flowing shapes and soft colors of the words painted on the surface of the building blend with the architecture while simultaneously harmonizing with its structure and the surrounding environment.

Stencil artist Hundertzehn from Magdeburg produces highly detailed works of art. Both outdoors on city walls and facades and indoors on mobile backgrounds such as canvases and panels.

Hundertzehn’s works are mostly figurative depictions with a strong reference to urban space – the artist’s original working environment. Intense colours run in the background and form the basis of his artworks.

His latest work adorns the fassade of a children’s day-care centre on the ground floor of Bülowstraße 55.

Júlia Mota Albuquerque (aka “Land of Júlia”, a Brazilian artist based out Berlin), was the winner of the first Street Art contest “MORE ART, less litter”.

Together with Naturschutz Berlin Foundation, BSR Berliner Stadtreinigung, Berliner Leben Foundation, and URBAN NATION Museum, we organized an open call directed to the local art community, which was invited to develop a concept for a mural dealing with topics such as waste avoidance, packaging waste and recycling.

Júlia’s wall is located on a building facade of Gewobag at Jakob-Kaiser-Platz in Berlin.

None other than Mr. Paradox Paradise has gifted Bülowstraße with one of his murals. Worshipped by the Graffiti scene for his daring actions and his unique style, Mr. Paradox’s messages adorn countless walls of Berlin and worldwide with their critics toward politics and social conventions.

Along with the new exhibition “TALKING… & OTHER BANANA SKINS”, URBAN NATION Museum got a brand new facade designed by Broken Fingaz Crew (aka BFC, a renowned artist collective from Haifa, Israel.)

BFC is known for their vibrant murals and the variety of techniques they use to create their art.

Their works aim to provoke and evoke a reaction in the viewer, by dealing with political and social issues.

With the mural made for URBAN NATION Museum called “Dog Sniff Dog”, BFC focuses on the way people communicate nowadays. The dogs sniffing each other’s bottoms are a metaphor for the never-ending cycle of futile communication in the age of social media, while their eye-catching colors match the ones of the exhibition as well.
