For us at MONTANA-CANS, it is immeasurably important to have a close connection to our friends and partners who use our tools. This need for a close correlation has led us to support and sponsor an amazing amount of incredible events and projects, and helped us to establish collaborations with numerous artists, brands and partners.

We are grateful to be in a position to be able to provide this kind of support, and thankful for the abundance of inspirations and ideas that artists and collaboration partners from all across the world share with us. We make it a point to feature these projects and collaborations on our blog and and social media channels, but because of the fast-paced hustle and bustle of the internet, we have decided it was time to create a printed collection which contains merely a small fraction of the creative work we have been involved in over the past years.

After combing through our past collaborations and sponsorships, and selecting the projects that are especially memorable to us, we have created this Lookbook in an effort to give back some of the extraordinary experiences we’ve had promoting this art form.

Since our founding, our products and brand have influenced, been influenced by, and played a significant role in the urban art movement, which is exactly what we believe in - keeping the movement moving.

Latest news on products, collabos, exhibitions and artists can be found on: WWW.MONTANA-CANS.COM/blog

For us, cultural sponsorship and social commitment are equally important. Being truly committed to these two precepts requires a continuous and ongoing investment - one we happily make.

Combining the two axioms in projects and event sponsorships is a crowning achievement we take great pride in. At the same time it is also a matter of the heart to us.

In this regard, we are very grateful to have been able to launch into various collaborations with organizations which have similar goals and views as we do.

On the following pages, we’d like to share a few special projects we have sponsored, and report on artists with whom we have had the privilege of working together.

MONTANA-CANS LOOKBOOK 015

We like to think that our design is one feature on a list of many aspects that sets us apart from other can manufacturers. For the creation of our sleek litho design, the can became our canvas. And even though we take great pride in the value of brand recognition we have created, we wanted to invite artists to use our can as their canvas and create a special edition series for artists, our fans, collectors and us. The Montana BLACK artist edi-

tion was brought to life. Each quarter, a new can is released which features world renowned artists of our choosing. The artist gets to pick his or her favorite color out of the 187 shades in the BLACK range, and create their design, which reflects their interpretation of the name of this shade for the lithographed can. This design will then be implemented for a limited time in the production of the artist’s chosen color, making the can not only

functional but an exclusive limited-editioncollectable. Our goal was to create a concept which would allow the artist to put their personal touch and creativity on the can, knowing that it will be distributed all around the world and would also reward us with a personalized design of renown artists. So, we were faced with an agonizing choice, finally zeroing in on the first artist to launch our Montana BLACK artist edition series.

BLA CK ART IST LIN E

9

GOLD EN GRE EN For our first BLACK artist can, we chose internationally renowned artist Golden Green who is known for his unique graffiti aesthetics. In contradiction with his name, Golden Green chose our BLK 4060 „Galaxy“, a luscious purple, stating that he likes the color and the room for imagination the word „galaxy“ possesses.

The Hamburg-based artist scrambles the graffiti-style elements in a type of hybrid design, creating a futuristic universe full of surreal characters, cunningly-constructed letters and swirling silhouettes in bright and loud colors. In addition to his love for large-sized sprayed pictures on walls and facades, GG’s works include canvases, print, papercut, and now, a can. The „Galaxy“ design - with its trendy colors, galactic milky way and comic planets - might remind you of „the Jetsons“ an old school cartoon from the 60’s. We know for sure GG has picked the perfect color to correspond with his artistic style and we are grateful for his contribution in starting our BLACK artist edition with a Bang.

10

NY C HOS

There isn’t an artist in the world we would rather have had design the can for our BLK 4230 „Kidney“. Combining Nychos and his anatomically inclined designs to this organ-inspired color was a predestined match. True to the age old saying „no guts, no glory“, the Vienna-based artist creates a fusion between a comic character and the anatomic functions of the body. Growing up in an Austrian family with a fondness for hunting, his early confrontation with the anatomy of dead animals sparked his interest in the science of anatomy and dissection. This fascination and his personal, hands-on experience with the intensely realistic colors of anatomy are strongly reflected in his artworks. The true-to-life interpretation of dissected motifs in conjunction with said intense color schemes are regarded as Nychos’ trademark. This unique signature style was exactly what we had in mind for this BLACK artist edition collaboration, and of course, Nychos exceeded our expectations: The can is embellished with all the guts and glory that any kidney could have ever hoped for.

11

THE GRI FTE RS

After being asked to design a BLACK can, the journalist and photographer Good Guy Boris, founder of „The Grifters“ - one of the Internet’s most outstanding graffiti lifestyle blogs - chose our BLK 2093 „Code Red“. Born and raised in the heartlands of Eastern Europe, Boris portraits his young adulthood as a collection of ridiculous ventures in which he was surrounded by extraordinary characters. After his first attempt at sharing his archives with mainstream and alternative medias was met with refusal, Boris created his own photojournalistic blog named „The Grifters“, which reveals a hidden but sincere beauty in the local underworld, with its hustling, corruption, and stereotypes, labeled by society as rejects. After relocating to Paris he pursued his dream of creating a multimedia project that would both entertain and educate young people who were lost in the destructive habits Boris witnessed while growing up. His dream matches the bold statement he chose for the design of the „Code Red“ litho: „Freedom is not defined by safety“. The striking lettering reduces the design to it’s core statement. No clarification necessary.

12

SO BEK CIS

The final can of 2014 was designed by artist duo Sobekcis. The twin brothers, Sobek and Kcis from Belgrade, Serbia, chose our BLK 5125 „Dove“ for their BLACK artist edition can for two reasons: one - because of the name of the color and their passion for the incorporation of the bird image into their artwork; and two - because of the overall topic of the design being based on a symbol of peace. The most distinctive feature of the Sobekcis-style is the overload of brightly colored geometric patterns, which recur in all of their works of art. This gives their artworks an unparalleled sense of intensity. For their BLACK artist edition can they chose a more stripped-down, vertical approach in comparison to their usual graffiti and studio work. This more minimalistic concept was used to complement the packaging design context, creating is a shadowy, dark, carbon appearance which integrates the can’s name „Montana BLACK“. The design is an artistic combination of geometric shapes and symbolism with tribal imagery and an overall minimalistic, ethnic feel.

13

FO RM UL A76

The first can of 2015 has been designed by Formula 76, aptly featuring his favorite color BLK 6080 „Mescaline“, which is also the name of a hallucinogen that is found naturally in the PeyoteKakus. Benjamin Tibbs, AKA Formula76, is a Hamburg-based style-writer and designer who is best known for his logos and designs for popular German rappers, such as Jan Delay, Samy Deluxe, Beginner, and more. His interest in graffiti was first sparked in 1990 at the age of 14. In 2000 he became a member of the elite TYPOHOLICS design committee as a freelance graphic designer.

He made his personal breakthrough in 2009 when he exhibited some of his free works for the first time. Since then he has displayed his work in group and singular exhibitions. His color of choice not only emulates his street name on a chemical basis, it is also strongly reflected in the design itself. The hallucinatory swirls, drips and drops combined with geometric shapes portrait his artistic style and the name of the color all at once. This type of minimalistic dual color scheme is also found in many of his other artworks. The NC-Formula lettering is cleverly merged to become dual purposed, for the can labelling and the spelling of his name. The overall feel of the design mimic a soaring trip.

Street art has taken over the community of Kaka’ako in Hawaii, thanks to an incredible urban art festival. The „Pow Wow Hawaii“ festival is an annual event with an amazing line-up representing fantastic quality. The collective of artists responsible for the festival form a global network organizing street art events across the globe in other locations, such as Taiwan, Long Beach, Israel, Singapore, Jamaica, Washington D.C., Guam, New Zealand, Germany and more.

The festival is made up of a diverse spectrum of events, such as, gallery shows, lectures, schools for art and music, mural projects, concerts and live art installations, pool party gatherings, live paintings and additional talks. Co-founders Jasper Wong and Kamea Hadar claim that „Pow Wow“ has become synonymous with „a gathering that celebrates culture, music and art“.

The event, which lasts one week and is held during the week of Valentine’s Day, takes place in Kaka’ako a district of Honolulu, where more than 80 international and local artists come together to create murals or other forms of art. Interesting collaborations are formed, some of which are planned ahead of time, and others occur spontaneously. Recognizable names from all different parts of the art world, like James Jean, Tristan Eaton, Saber MSK, Doze Green, Case, Akut and Maya Hayuk, delivered their signature style to the walls of Kaka’ako, generating lots of commotion around their creations. This year - for a change - the representation of female artists was refreshingly awesome. Natalia Rak, Olek, Tatiana Suarez, Fafi and Hueman shook the boys up a bit. Another attraction were the amazing installations, such as Kozyndan’s wooden photo prop, and Fafi’s flowery fence installation.

A week’s worth of action and an abundance of energy lead to the culmination on Friday evening: an exciting Secret Walls 90-minute live painting battle, including the involvement of some of the off-roster artists like Cara Toes, Lauren YS and Boy Kong. After this climactic end to the week, a few artists were still not quite finished with their projects and prolonged their efforts throughout the weekend. The continued endeavor was evidence of the energetic magnitude of the event, nearly bursting at the seams due to the united power and devotion of its line-up of recognized talent.

Other than the murals that are being created, PowWow has added by a ton of other disciplines, broadening the artistic horizon of the entire festival. As of this year’s festival in 2015, this has also been noticeably enhanced by a close cooperation with the Honolulu Museum of Art. This new collaboration has also helped achieve Wong’s second goal, aside from creating a get-together-platform: the ability to educate people about art and create a wider perception of the art which is

For Jasper Wong, the idea begann as an excuse to get all his friends together to paint and hang out. It took off from there. But in the beginning, the response from the people in Kaka’ako wasn’t so positive.

People were afraid of the consequences the festival might bring with it; a phenomenon what Wong refers to as the „the broken window theory“; the presumption that public artwork and murals would bring crime to the area. But, over the years, this notion was proven to be completely wrong. On the contrary, PowWow brought a lot of people to the area, which has made the neighborhood more safer, more colorful and more fun. It has changed the entire perception of Kaka’ako from having been a forgotten district, to now being seen a beautiful area with a ton of art everywhere. Wong is proud to know that his initiative has contributed to this occurrence. The focus of the festival’s development is not to increase so much in size, but rather to strengthen all the individual elements.

From the inception of the festival, MONTANA has followed its progress and expansion. In 2015 the size of the festival outgrew the capacity of their previous sponsor. After multiple recommendations made by the artists, Jasper approached us, and asked whether we might be interested in sponsoring the festival. It was a no-brainer, we agreed immediately!

Due to the unique setting of the PowWow festival it is clear that culture and traditions would play a role in the event. The artists John „Prime“ Hina takes the lead through the first get-together. After the artists arrive - but before they go out and paint - there is a gathering where all artists „take home all these excursions all these holoholos to the pali lookout“. Holoholo like Aloha is a Hawaiian word which means a journey without a destination. For PowWow, Prime wants to give the artists the full experience of what Hawaii is all about from a cultural perspective. When they leave Hawaii, Prime wants them to take aloha with them and take the mana, a spiritual energy, which came from Hawaii, out into the world.

MONTANA X MIZU A FRESH BOTTLE FOR YO‘ FESH WATER When you think of giveaways, things like lighters, pens and maybe a nice USB stick come to mind, but MONTANA decided to go with something more practical this year. Since Mizu action sports water bottles are the latest rave among our peeps, we decided to design some of our own. „Mizu“ is the Japanese word for water. The company’s goal is to focus on and raise awareness of the waste produced by plastic water bottles, and then in turn, create reusable containers that will help remedy that problem. Environmental protection is their highest priority.

For instance, did you know that the amount of oil used to produce the quantity of non-recycled plastic bottles in the world can fuel 1 million cars for one year? These are the issues Mizu has taken to heart, and the reason they produce stainless steel water bottles from nothing but 18/8 food grade stainless steel, which is not only durable, easy to sanitize and corrosion resistant, but also will deter chemicals from migrating into your fresh water. The high quality Mizu bottles come with a lifetime warranty. This bargain seemed to be the perfect gift for our closest customers and friends, not only giving them a cool container with their favorite logo on the side and a chance to be environmentally-conscious, but also a way to save some real money compared to plastic bottled water.

„Hafendampf“ has sure put an end to that rumor: Thanks to the bounty of industries, the graffiti scene in the Ruhr Valley is quite notable. The great quality and the high volume of graffiti output made it obvious that the Ruhr Valley’s metropolis Essen needed to take advantage of this talent. In the summer of 2013, the first „Hafendampf“ was held.

HAFENDAMPF LAND IN SICHT. AHOI KAPTAIN.

A graffiti gallery on concrete pillars was created in the cities harbor-hood right below the Autobahn A42. Many fantastic local sprayers came to participate, and

30

there were a few acclaimed German artists who travelled to take part, including Flying Förtress, JBCB, 463, Blues and GBR. This crowd of creative minds made „Hafendampf“ the largest graffiti jam in North Rhine-Westphalia. Since the 90’s, there haven’t been any graffiti related events or get-togethers in the area of the Ruhr Valley. This fact, and the volition to offer the graffiti scene a platform to come together and exchange experiences and project ideas, was the reason for the first „Hafendampf“, and continues to be the axiom of this event.

This passionate commitment to act on their maxim was one of the most important reasons for us at Montana to get involved. We know our sponsored cans have been put

to good use giving Essen a face-lift in graffiti-style. Initially, the „Hafendampf“ was created as a graffiti happening with the a deliberately chosen emphasis on writers and sprayers from Ruhr Valley. A wider more international crowd would be welcome to join in in the future.

If you find yourself looking through tumblr galleries of graffiti artists or fans, there is one seemingly unrelated item that will almost always pop up: a sweet pair of sneakers, or 10. This heavy romance between cleats and street art has been going strong since the 70’s. We thought it was time for a celebration: MONTANA teamed up with Aussie footwear aficionados Sneaker Freaker in the summer of 2014 and created a special can in honor of this special bond. So, we got out our color pallets and a winner was chosen: a classic Infra-Red, commemorating the „Radiant Red“ shade by Nike. Next, the design needed to be created. Sneaker Freaker came up with an awesome head-to-toe print of the Sneaker Freaker logo in a barrier tape look. Our production plant went straight to work printing our matte finished lithos with the SF design and filling our cans with the hue of choice. To literally cap off the project, we chose a slick red nozzle, and there you have it. Sneaker Freaker’s very own Montana issued can. Some loves never die.

URBAN NATION GALLERY Germany’s capital is getting a do over Gallery art for Berlin’s pedestrians

In nearly all the major cities across the globe, the observant pedestrian will encounter and enjoy Urban Art. Their reward is taking in artworks of all dimensions, flaunted on walls, bridges, pillars or signs, using a variety of tools such as brushes, glue or spray cans. But you will rarely find a higher concentration than what can now be seen in Berlin’s Buelowstrasse, where suddenly, every pedestrian becomes a gallery visitor.

Since its formation in late 2013, URBAN NATION is a foundation based in Berlin that focusses on bringing together urban artists to form and enrich neighborhoods, particularly in Berlin, but also all over the world. They hold many different kinds of workshops, events and exhibitions in non-profit public spaces with one goal: bringing community and artists alike together to beautify their surroundings. Their priorities are what makes this foundation unique, promoting equal support for upcoming as well as renowned artists, and communities, cities and their inhabitants. And the reactions they have received, especially in Berlin, have been their reward: full support from the community, people coming to take pictures and attracting positive attention. The „One Wall“ project series they have organized, has generated much interest from the locals, ultimately achieving their goal of boosting community, participation and creative exchange.

Their focus on redesigning urban spaces, and consequently making art more accessible to the public, has already made a large impact on the street-life in Berlin, Kietz. Prettifying a few seriously ugly buildings has also required the help from some neighborhood kids, for whom a workshop was held to impart the values of street art and especially the impact our surroundings have on our everyday life.

Another ongoing project is „Project M/“. URBAN NATION’s director Yasha Young chooses a curator, who then invites a group of internationally acclaimed artists to transform the windows and facade of a prominent building in Berlin, which is currently undergoing change.

MONTANA’s support for URBAN NATION hasn’t wavered since the foundation has taken its first steps. Our team was fortunate enough to be in Berlin during „Project M/5“, curated by Roland Henry and VNA Magazine. The lineup was quite swank including Mark Lyken, Ben Frost, Pam Glew, Will Barras, Eine, Steff Plaetz, Nick Walker, O. Two, Sickboy, Xenz and Sheone. Eine refers to M/5 as being „the first urban contemporary museum solely dedicated to stuff that we do“, reflecting the respect and recognition project M has yielded for the impressive urban art scene. On that level Berlin is flourishing with the help of URBAN NATION, which is a cause, that we simply had to be actively involved in.

// I don’t attempt to foresee or anticipate the line before I make it. // MINIMALISM AT ITS FINEST, STEFFEN SEGER MINIMALISM AT ITS FINEST STEFFEN SEGER

Watching Steffen Seeger create his artworks is mesmerizing. His quirky self-made tools and swift smooth strokes seem to come so naturally, almost effortless. The Berlin-based artist has his roots in graffiti street art and has evolved over the years by disengaging himself, and reducing and abstracting his work.

Today Seeger belongs to the most wanted illustrators in the world, creating and performing for major brands such as HUGO BOSS, or Absolute Vodka. One sure thing about the Seeger-style is that it’s unbelievably distinguishable: his minimalistic, black-and-white, „one line technique“ and multiple line projects are incomparable to any other artist.

> 45

Minimalism at its finest STEFEN SEGER MONTANA has worked together with Seeger on many different occasions. He has done live painting shows for us at different trade fairs and events, such as NAMTA, Creativeworld, or Stroke, using first and foremost our MONTANA Acrylic Markers - especially our wide markers.

Seeger also inspired us to produce our multiline Markers, so we worked together on that project as well. This tight bond has led to a continuous exchange.

We have been supporting his endeavors and he has helped us with various projects and product developments. The MONTANA Acrylic markers have led Seeger to create working tools of his own by connecting 9 wide 50mm multiline markers next to each other. This gives him full control over a great number of multiple lines at once, enabling him to create his recurring characteristic lines.

Minimalism is the key word in connection with his creationsHis one line portraits are proof of how literally one black line on a piece of white paper can have such a large impact on the viewer.

In August and September 2014 Seeger held an exhibition at the Lehrter Siebzehn, a temporarily open gallery space in Berlin Moabit. The exhibition title „Oh Interesting OK Great“ and subtitle „‘What are you working on?’ ‘Blah, blah, blah….space, blah.’ Oh interesting, ok great. Have you ever tried making these bigger?“ reflects typical reactions to his works. Of course many ACRYLIC marker multiline pieces were on display, including some very extensive, seemingly computer-generated walls. But he also changed gears to some good old spray can action, creating a few walls with our MONTANA spider effect spray, bringing these two tools to a perfectly harmonious unity.

When creating something from nothing, Seeger positions himself in an empty room and draws his inspiration from the material, mediums and surroundings.

Intuitively and playfully, he then creates his personal works that comply with their own set of rules. Looking closely at his works makes it apparent that creating them would demand an accurate eye for symmetry, steady hands and what would seem like a large amount of planning and conception, and yet, just the opposite is the case: Seeger states: “I don’t attempt to foresee or anticipate the line before I make it. I absorb what I see in my fullest capacity, then I simply begin drawing and responding to what I have absorbed.

There is no pre-determined plan…“ We at MONTANA are grateful for this lasting relationship with someone whose art and work we respect and rely on as much as we do with Steffen Seeger.

x There is no doubt in the world that the hip hop- and urban art culture are deeply intertwined. By association there is basically only one other symbol that can represent urban art other than a can: An old school Boombox, preferably on the shoulders of a guy wearing a hoodie. Today, the boomboxes have almost become extinct and have been replaced by smartphones blasting in a not so round sound out of speakers intended for speech.

Our Montana team felt a need to pump up some real sound in the urban art scene and approached BerlinBoomBox for a special collaboration. This crowd-funded project, founded by Axel Pfaender, has taken off like a rocket, bringing back our love for these portable speakers. The BoomBox is compatible with any smartphone or mp3 player, you can even hook up your laptop, since it connects to the device’s headphone jack.

When your trusted mailman rings your door with your very own packaged BoomBox, the fun begins: die-cut cardboard, and electrical components come in a DIY kit, waiting to be assembled in a matter of minutes - no glue or tools required. Just in case, a self-explanatory construction manual with a step-by-step guide will help you complete the framework in no time. The conception of the device is positively ingenious. Once assembled, you are left with a portable speaker which is not only sturdy with an aluminum knob for your volume and

power control, but also has some impressive sound. The 2 x 5 watts German-engineered speakers and amp were developed by MIVOC Pro and optimized for the sustainable cardboard construction. Of course the economic aspect of using recycled cardboard for this project speaks for itself. Also the energy-efficient amp will feed you with 200 hours of mixtapes on merely 3 batteries.

baffling: The cardboard shell of the BoomBox was incorporated into a wall with spray paints, or styled with the use of some BLACK Markers, or even our ACRYLIC line markers.

After the awesome feedback, we wanted to get our loyal fans in on the action, so we conducted a Montana BoomBox Design Contest. The Montana BoomBox is available at berlinboombox.de and other assorted stores that carry Montana cans. It comes with a 6-pack of ACRYLIC markers to help get your creative juices flowing.

When your trusted mailman rings your door with your very own packaged BoomBox, the fun begins: die-cut cardboard, and electrical components come in a DIY kit, waiting to be assembled in a matter of minutes - no glue or tools required. Just in case, a self-explanatory construction manual with a step-by-step guide will help you complete the framework in no time. The conception of the device is positively ingenious. Once assembled, you are left with a portable speaker which is not only sturdy with an aluminum knob for your volume and

54

power control, but also has some impressive sound. The 2 x 5 watts German-engineered speakers and amp were developed by MIVOC Pro and optimized for the sustainable cardboard construction. Of course the economic aspect of using recycled cardboard for this project speaks for itself. Also the energy-efficient amp will feed you with 200 hours of mixtapes on merely 3 batteries.

There’s only one other symbol that can represent urban art other than a can: An old school boombox. Montana approached BerlinBoomBox for a special collaboration, a portable speaker that comes in a DIY KIT.

MONTANA X Lousy Livin we got your booty As so often in life, a joke can lead to many things - some of which are more productive and especially practical than others. "All I need for my inter-rail vacay are some cans and a week’s worth of boxers“. At MONTANA, we believe in supporting our artists from A to Z by way of a capital "B" for boxer shorts. So, we teamed up with the brand "Lousy Livin“ - which was founded 2013 by Cleptomanicx, a clothing brand located in Hamburg, Germany, as a collaborative platform for designing mainly boxer shorts in cooperation with other brands, artists and people. Lousy Livin boxer shorts are made with much attention to detail and are especially known for their original and crazy motifs. This unlikely collaboration lead to the production of an all-round spring break bundle including boxer shorts, t-shirts, sleeping bags, cotton bags, a sticker set and bedding, all designed by one of the greats: Flying Förtress. These stylish and overly fashionable drawers, adorned with "too fucked to spray" or "too drunk to fuck“, are true to the long-established motto of spring break. The skivvies are made of 100% cotton and come with a concealed button fly, plus, there is also a limited special pack available, including some exclusive stickers. The sweet spray can porn pattern is the result of some of Förtress’ finest fantasies and illustrations. Flying Förtress is best known for his teddy troops - his unarmed army of troopers occupying and controlling public space in many major cities of the world. Since we had collaborated with Flying Förtress on two previous occasions - resulting in a coffee mug and a doormat, both, of course, in the unmistakable Flying Förtress style - he was the obvious choice for this exceptional assignment. No reward could have been greater, than these exceptional boxer shorts.

Martha Cooper Photographer 1983, Subway, New York

Montana-Cans Iconic Series

MARTHA COOPER EDITION One day in 1981, Martha Cooper was riding on the subway of New York holding a camera, which considering the crime rate at that time, was not a recommended move.

The low ISO of her Kodachrome 64 film was going to make it impossible to take any pictures while the car was underground anyhow. But, when the subway hit daylight, the motif of the police men standing in a frame of graffiti tags was irresistible. Was she going to dare to ask the officers for a photograph? Since taking pictures on the subway was illegal, that wasn’t advisable, so, she’d just go for it. But she would have to stand up to take it. „Luckily I got the shot. Mission accomplished.“ says Martha Cooper today.

The photo-journalist is best known for her investment in the documentation of the explosion of the New York graffiti culture scene, beginning in the late 70’s. Cooper gathered and compiled her experiences and encounters to create a collaborative book that has become something like the holy writ of graffiti writing, titled, „Subway Art“. Which in turn inspired young artists all over the world to spread this urban art movement.

In the course of the cultural insurgencies of the 1960s, Cooper earned an art degree from Grinell College Iowa, taught English as a volunteer for the Peace Corps in Thailand and traveled from Bangkok to London by motorcycle to receive a diploma at Oxford. Upon her return to New York she secured a position at the New York Post in 1977 using her commute to scout for pictures. Longing for adventure, she’d explore the neighborhoods, taking pictures of kids playing makeshift games on the streets. This was when she came across graffiti and some members of it’s community. Foremost a young kid, who showed her to some art around the neighborhood, explained a few pieces, their artistic values and some lingo, finally asking her if she wanted to meet „the King“. Soon after, she was introduced to world class sprayer Dondi, the first artist Cooper decided to shadow, taking pictures of him tagging New York. Cooper quickly understood that she had stumbled upon a vivid street culture and became an eager student of the writers she befriended.

After many early mornings of waiting for hours to get the right shot of moving trains, and many more acquaintances with graffiti legends such as Zephyr, Seen, Kase2 and Lady Pink, Cooper and fellow photographer Henry Chalfant published „Subway Art“ in 1984. Many have claimed on numerous occasions that this book has changed the course of art history in our world. Following this book, Cooper has authored several more collections documenting the urban art developments in New York including „Hip Hop Files: Photographs 1979-1984“ and „New York State of Mind“.

Keeping up with the tags, walls and trains of New York and the street art scene all around the world still continues to be her endeavor, whether she is documenting the Wynwood Walls project in Miami as their official photographer, working with graffiti artists in collaborational exhibitions or just plain instagraming her daily encounters with this passion. The times have changed and street art is ever-evolving. Many artists all around the world are now taking parts of Coopers photographs and basing their art on them. Sections of different shots are being cut out and incorporated into other pieces of art. This kind of synergy has led to many successful exhibitions including the „Martha Cooper:Remix“ exhibition in the Carmichael Gallery in Los Angeles. The Wynwood Walls project in Miami has been a treat for Cooper since it began in 2009. Documenting the metamorphosis of this warehouse district is what she refers to as a „dream assignment“. Her pictures provide an invaluable view behind the scenes of the making of urban graffiti murals.

Martha Cooper has been inseparable from the street art scenes of the world for more than thirty years and her work has been seminal to the development in urban art. She has seen it grow from an underground burgeoning movement, to the largest art movement in the world - always taking shots along the way.

Reunion of the greats at the Pera Museum

The 2014 „Language of the Wall“ exhibition, which was held in the Pera Museum in Istanbul, was called to our attention by a featured artist-duo who have deep ties to the MONTANA brand. Turkey has been rattled by political tension and a religious imbalance causing unrest and strain on the society. Promises of civil right improvements have been put on hold and the

conditions for freedom of speech have been changed for the worse under the current administration, developing a deep seated frustration in the pro-western population in Turkey. Istanbul, which was elected the European Capital of Culture in 2010, is a metropolis for art, music, theatre and architecture - the Pera Museum being a invaluable pillar of support to these facets.

The exhibition in the Museum of Modern Art, 2014, Pera Istanbul

Bringing the urban street flair to the inside of the museum walls really acknowledged this special art form and brought it into a focused light and setting. The Pera Museum’s appreciation for graffiti, and their desire to promote and educate people on the roots and evolvement of the art form, is what Cope 2 calls a „blessing and a home run for graffiti art“.

For this exhibition, many artists specifically requested MONTANA cans. Because of the high demand and our loyalty towards our sprayers, we chose to support this awesome event for the sake of the art.

HERAKUT/aptART CollaboRATION Since early 2011, the Syrian conflict has been frequently covered by news stations all over the word. The civil war has pushed millions of Syrians from their homes, forcing them to flee their country. Jordan has provided shelter for many of the displaced, resulting in large refugee camps such as Zaatari.

AptART - Awareness & Prevention Through Art an organization founded by Samantha Robinson which aims to give vulnerable children an artistic experience, and promote an awareness about the issues that affect their lives - carried out an 8-week street art project in the camps in Northern Jordan. One of the artists they invited to join the project were Herakut, an artistic duo made up of colleagues Jasmin Siddiqui, aka „Hera“, and Falk Lehmann, aka „Akut“.

Samantha Robinson and Herakut belong to MONTANA’s tight-knit group of trusted and valued collaboration partners. For this exceptional project, in these exceptional circumstances, MONTANA went to great lengths to support the workshops and creative workings with cans and other supplies.

Street art by herakut as part of a an aptaRT project with children in the Syrian Refugee Camp Zaatari and children in north Jordan.

During their three weeks of their stay, Herakut created 8 walls, 6 of which enlisted the help of children. They used topics such as „home“, „peace“ and „I am the future“, each giving the children an opportunity to participate in the creating and expressing of things that affect and move them.

Everything from painting with paintbrushes, finger painting and making birds out of the tent canvas, specifically turning a symbol of their loss into a sign of freedom, peace and hope. In the face of all the destruction, sacrifice and fear, the kids still chose life-affirming colors, still laughed and took part in the workshops provided for them. In fact, the workshops were overrun, which lead to an unexpected extension of the „home“ mural, which is the written word „home“, made out of many little building blocks. Each building block was decorated by a child with their most treasured associations with the word. The main goal of this project was to nurture the perception that each child is worthy of appreciation as an individual building block. In Zaatari, Herakut created two murals on containers emphasizing the importance and value of water and how vital it is to keep it clean and share it with others. Much of their time was also spent interacting, eating and talking to the families. Herakut describes the lingering feeling in the camps as being similar to that at a train station: Everyone is waiting for the train to take them home, which never arrives.

The idea for curating an exhibition occurred to Herakut while in the field. The exhibition titled „Colours of Resilience“, which was staged in the AusstellungsHalle1A in Frankfurt, offers a sobering insight into the world of the refugee camps. The event line up includes talks from Hera and Samantha Robinson and live music.

It is literally movement and change.

DRAW A LINE

limited edition art prints Every apartment has one of those walls: the wall you want to hang the art on that you want to buy after you’ve won the lottery.

Berlin-based art publishing company DRAW A LINE, which was established in 2013, is dedicated to publishing signed limited edition prints by internationally emerging artists with roots in street culture. Urban art has established itself as the ever-evolving art form. It has undergone a major push since 2000 and experienced complex transformation. Street art got hyped by a widely diverse audience and graffiti writers managed to push their art to the next level. At the same time the accessibility of art has changed throughout the world. The Internet provides the potential to bring art so much closer to its spectator than ever before. The new urban art being created demanded a new type of platform. In 2013 Gunnar, Manuel and Stefan founded DRAW A LINE, a Berlinbased curated platform for urban and contemporary art. The purpose their endeavor is to create handcrafted limited edition prints and make them accessible to anyone who appreciates this vibrant new art scene, no matter where they live. In keeping with their commitment to make these artworks even more accessible, DRAW A LINE offers to ship world wide free of charge. This is their effort to make a significant contribution to this urban movement. Their online shop offers a select repertoire of a constantly growing list of aspiring artists like Cleon Peterson, Adrian Falkner ‘Smash137’ and Antwan Horfee. During the curating process, DRAW A LINE focuses on the stories behind the artwork, artist and movement. Selected works are on display at their showroom in Berlin, which also doubles as their work place and provides an atmosphere for collaboration, because that is exactly what DRAW A LINE does: collaborate with aspiring artists and printers to create uniquely handcrafted and signed prints, which are then available in their online shop for purchase. Montana’s connection to DRAW A LINE has existed since their founding and we are more than happy to support such an innovative approach to promoting and spreading our passion for this one-of-a-kind art form.

ART BASEL MIAMI 84

Art Basel is deemed to be one of the largest and most important art fairs for contemporary art in the world. The fact that the 46th annual art show will be staged in Basel in the spring of 2015, gives evidence to its long standing success. Because Art Basel has been so enormously popular and well-attended, the event was hosted outside of Europe for the first time in 2002, as Art Basel Miami Beach, and has been held there annually ever since. Art Basel, founded by a group of gallerists in 1970, has played a key role in clearly depicting the importance of the role that galleries play in the

the nurturing of artists, and the development and promotion of visual arts. The festival’s global reputation – earned over the past forty years – for showing artworks of the highest quality, and therefor attracting the world‘s leading gallerists and collectors, has made Art Basel an event where the art world converges. The show itself is divided into nine sectors, which allows the guest to delve into the multi facetted dimensions of modern and contemporary art, including museum-caliber paintings, sculptures and classical photography, as well as large scale works as

85

in curated projects, and site-specific artworks which take advantage of the unique Miami Beach landscape. Of course the event contains hundreds of gallery showings, but also outdoor installations, interventions, various performances and a long list of high-merit talks from curators, artists and art dealers and much more. In addition to the famous art show, more than twelve other accompanying fairs take place,

86

such as Scope, Miami Project, NADA, Pulse and Untitled, which attract up to 60,000 visitors a year. Most importantly in the art world, Art Basel Miami Beach is an occasion to get together and talk about the development and definition of street art, and share experiences. Of course, a reoccurring hot topic of discussion at events unique to this field is the investigation as to the affinity of street art being presented at

88

an event so focused on the value of galleries and gallerists, and their interaction with artists. Many varying opinions are represented, but we’d like to express our view using the words of Shepard Fairey: "Some people pander to the fine-art-world and they don’t care about the street-art-world; some care about the rules of the street art world and they are scared of the fine-art-world. My favorite people aren’t scared to break down all these barriers in between, "call bullshit on all of it" and just do what they want to do."
