los angeles times the smokestack began with street art in the one nine hundred eighty s. but now he is a well established artist traded his spray can for a paint brush a long time ago. i used to have one that was i think it was really like a dog. just feel like an artist and i'm reading focused on the style and the expression. so it's so different work to your work. i only feel like an artist now so i don't need to illegal any more. than an artist's mental gussy have contributed several works they've placed portraits of current staff members at the iron works on its pipes gratings and silos. they print out the photos in extra large format in their berlin studio they'd been

working in the streets of various cities around the world for the past twenty years often without permission now and they've been invited to exhibit at the urban park being ali the reason. we're always looking for objects or architecture is that a three dimensional or a. least have some kind of perspective or depth and space so we won't produce a flat image or a portrait. so we'll be able to create a photo sculpture so on and even. one of the portraits is of project manager hentai kasten it would have up to the photos were taken of me from every side from above and from below that the make the worst faces and then they decided which ones to take and that's what i look like. since this kind of photography is a bit merciless on the skin and so on women are somewhat more critical than men but i think they can live with it quite a bit. martin why an artist from france is also here posting his art he's

chosen a hut where workers once took their breaks and artistically processed nine hundred seventy s. driven posters about safety in the workplace. and was accused this is why i work with smaller pictures that i can send through a fax machine so they come out with visible pixels then i paint a larger version of that. finally i had got the signal colors to the images result through. another hundred or so works of urban art from twenty countries are set against the imposing backdrop of the charge once a storage space for raw materials for the iron works. street art that has made its way onto campus. couldn't stay open art is an art form that originated on the streets a street art among friends and. it is art that has come from the streets far off

that initially these artists were arrested as vandals and locked up in prison. or almost them eventually the street artist began making art and portable surface. and that was the beginning of the urban art to be an early be an all or. street art took a new direction towards the museums and we've been exhibiting this stronger ever since. the most of. the urban art be in ali and fluking and shows that many former street artists are on their way to securing a place in the international art market. when it comes to design there are many trends to follow this year marks one hundred years of bauhaus design which was defined by clean and simple lines then there is minimalism which rejects lavish and highly decorative styles in other words less

means more in the mean time on the complete opposite of that spectrum there is another movement that embraces abundance it's called maximal ism here more really means more with bright garish colors matched up with lively and decorative patterns this is how it works. how this bush shapes move past misplaying shows us how she's decorated headlands an apartment in the maximalist style long live abundance decorate till you drop. some of this is my colorful polish on color makes me happy so a key thing with some of this movement is mixing mixing color mixing pattern and

bringing together a lot of objects behind up there we have tolls and there is not just one not just two there's like twenty two so rather than be tane. take it to the market. through pulp and is full of unusual objects and they all have a special meaning for. mistake post images of her maximalist ideas also show media largely thanks to the internet the british born trend is spreading like wildfire. in syria design and also emily henson says when it comes to living trends over crowding is in the latest book tell us more so i have noticed a change from neutral tasteful almost like scandinavian style interiors towards more colorful pattern for. homes i think much. is about breaking the rules i don't

think it has to be good taste i think it's has to be your taste. the growing number of shops in london or adopting the more is more style and carry a range of fun pieces from across the world. the search for the origin of the maximalist and trend leads emily hanson to abacha a her own store and. the design is one of the styles pioneered. by her mixes the old with the new and doesn't shy away from bling or kitsch anything that kind of you know raises the hot and makes the hot skip a beat you're creating this really happy space so i get such a kick out of people coming in and they immediately smile and i immediately makes me happy because it lifts the spirits and that's what interiors should do they should make you feel happy in a place that you never want to leave. because her lives in the nineteenth century terraced house. trademarks are a dark color palette extravagant accessories and in your face texture combinations

. maximalist and breaks many widespread design conventions and her knows how interior design influences the senses and you have less to come in it looks lovely . but you know don you've read it whereas here my eyes over here and it's over here and all of that school and it's over there and it fills really engaging and exciting and that's why i'm so obsessed with this whole maximalist laurie small thing it's a hard look to pull off because there's a really fine line between making it fail over the top crazy. at the designers house me scene clotted but in fact she follows rules she's devised himself so the rules for me are don't use more than three or four colors in a room because otherwise it just is too schizophrenia for the brain. lighting is fundamental texture and pattern are a bit like a hope and a spice for maybe and then the biggest thing that scares people the most. is

playing around with. pieces in a small in a space creates a fairytale atmosphere but is this just a short lived trend over a reel of tentative to minimalism which is dominating the past decades so i do think it is not a trend it's not a trend i think it's a difficult look to pull off and people are scared of doing it but i was i think gaining momentum i don't think that you can feel completely happy when you have one table a few chairs around and a lot of white paint going on that would be amazing if our house could just literally go and scan the minimal could go and if it's more and maximal could stay for another hundred years because i think if we all embrace more is more we would live in a happier place. one thing is certain if you want to express yourself to the full and be creative maximalist is the way to go.

does look like a hard look to pull off but if you want to get some more home improvement ideas then please check out our facebook page ok moving on now to a favorite drink in germany coffee it said the germans drink more coffee than beer if you can believe that well a good cup of coffee of course depends on the beans here in europe there is just one coffee growing area which is located on the island of gran canaria its fertile soil is conducive for coffee growing so we visited a boutique production company for a lesson in what makes a good cup of coffee. harvesting coffee on the canary islands how can you tell when a coffee cherry is ripe for picking up. your max recorder hands like belling learns the tricks of the trade from coffee plantation owner antonio marquez only the red ones yes all right it. was no no no no no you see in again without the branch

because that's what next years fruitless groan and give me an it was than a floater. this is how you do it. but making the coffee cherries by hand is harder than it looks. on large plantations ripe and unripe fruits are harvested altogether by machines here they only pick grapes cherries. not wonder why only harvest the coffee when it's ripe in the remark or even know that we will check every plant five or six times. takes a lot more time and money than checking each plant just twice and either give it the quality of the coffee is better if you only select the right fruits or more yourself they were allowed to be left with. europe's only coffee growing area is on gran canaria the third largest of the canary islands they belong to spain but are located off the northwest coast of africa. the valley where the coffee grows

extends to the village of. it's a ball can acquire land so its soil is very fertile the valley is home to rich vegetation especially at higher elevations the coffee plantations here are not monocultures though. avocados and citrus fruits are cultivated to prevent the soil from becoming depleted. quality of the coffee is highly dependent on the soil and the climate precipitation the change in temperature has to be that all of that has an influence on the coffee plants and that's what ultimately determines the taste of what winds up in your cup for that local lottery followed in gaza. with it's twelve hundred coffee plants the think a lost cause star near us is one of the biggest plantations in the valley although the entire region only produces around fifteen hundred kilograms of coffee per year the drop in the ocean compared to global production figures. but here the focus is

on quality not quantity to achieve that great care is taken during processing here for instance the coffee cherries are dried for twenty days on outdoor racks antonio marquez turns them several times a day. everything that there were there. are different ways of drawing the fruits of the over here in the canaries the humidity and temperature are a deal for this. is the most natural process the red fruits are dried by the sun and the wind alone. has been grown here in the valley for around one and a half centuries it's a way of life. we pay a visit to mow holes a source a garcia a pensioner who like many here cultivates

a few coffee plants in his own garden uses the coffee himself and gives some to family and friends but the comment from a guy eighty i always call it the coffee from the i gate the valley because i consider the valley is the best coffee that exists today by the government the government i mean we're. growing coffee on grand canaria isn't very lucrative so growers offer tours to generate extra income but what motivates antonio marquez and his staff is the desire to produce top quality beans with the best around but after they've dried the cherries are peeled these days that's done by a machine. each cherry contains two coffee beans. the roasting process gives coffee its real taste and aroma. they're there and some of this is the most important stuff. during roasting you can really

get the best out of the beans. the coffee from his prized by java experts it was even chosen to represent spain at the world barista championship so what about the taste it's totally different to. the root of my current. soren sweden but fruity but not like coffee. europe's only home. own coffee comes from the valley. unique coffee with a unique flavor. and you can catch up with hendrix adventures in our europe to the max series including lots of background information on our you tube channel all right up next a norwegian performance artist who gives new meaning to the phrase burst your bubble yawn hucking eriksson uses balloons of all kinds bursting them with various kinds of sharp objects now his videos have gathered

a worldwide following of fans who love his destructive yet creative urges the artist says he's motivated mostly by fun but one thing is for sure is the installation certainly go off with a bang. good explosion lots of confetti. into these things young hawken erickson visual artist and self-proclaimed destroyer from norway. in the studio he shoots a new video almost every day showing him besting balloons with the apparatus he's built himself. sometimes quickly and painlessly. but other times it takes several tries for it to pop. it's just for fun really i was just trying to entertain myself and beginning and

people started to react very opposed to what what i was doing so i decided to keep on doing it and. own the thing to do so. the forty year old artists videos have fans all over the world he has hundreds of thousands of followers on social media. but he doesn't restrict himself to bursting balloons. in twenty eighteen he made a popular series of clips showing him smashing them cook spaghetti with his head. he also incorporates things he's not keen on in terms of such as long talks and gym equipment which the self-confessed exercise painter signature but. i. still have like a huge message and i kind of think that there is enough for itself it's like art for art's sake is you don't have to have this message in that and i really hate off

that's like that like street art and things like i got this means this is the worst ever i have the feeling that. many artists use social media to raise. they profile and find a gallery to sculpt and performance artist young hartmann erickson these platforms themselves are the best exhibition space. has turned his back on the analog art world even though he's done very well that. sort of frustrating for me that you're make something on the up life or an exhibition space and they have to wait a few months to see if you get an exhibition and maybe like it was a year or two years to get the exhibition to takes too much time and after wait for too long. as soon as he has an idea he makes it happen.

he shoots his clips in the studio with a smartphone he kids in a fixed position. these posts really stand out next to all the influences glossy snaps on the web. that's one of the funniest thing when i get like oh what's more like. they do on my face like a balloon and they work out like yours. and so it was so i know it's a lot of people so he said but i mean i do this everyday and. the likes and comments come think and fast and that encourages young hakan erickson to continue posting his explosive images on the internet. when stefan ves nostrils to the forest in his native switzerland he takes home everything he can find with him hayes stones wood or even ash and it all ends up in
