"In the Reichstag, the walls speak. Covered in Russian graffiti written by victorious Soviet soldiers in 1945, they've remained silent, their words hidden for decades, until rediscovered by architect Norman Foster and his team, who began work on the building in 1995. Preserved by Foster as part of his concept of the Reichstag as a "living museum" of German history, these anti-German scribblings remain a hotly debated subject. Some charge that the graffiti is morally offensive and masochistic, while others argue that its presence indicates a brave determination not to forget the tragedies of the past. Accompanying essays consider the graffiti as a monument to the individual and offer an historical account of the Battle of Berlin through the eyes of Red Army soldiers as they approached their ultimate goal, the Reichstag. Essays by Norman Foster, Frederick Baker and Deborah Lipstadt. " --book description

"R.I.P." - assembling the very best of a vibrant street art wave - contains colour photographs of memorials from Harlem and the Lower East Side, the South Bronx and Brooklyn, as well as the moving stories behind them." --book description

"Over the last 10 years the line between culture and counterculture has turned into a zone, and that zone is graf, shorthand for a subculture that produces graffiti, art, fashion, and design. Scrawl Too: More Dirt is a rich collection, maybe even a sourcebook, of all of these manifestations, marked by strong lines, active forms, architectural presentations, and small but numerous interventions that have coalesced into an entire young urban aesthetic. While the more familiar graf may have been absorbed into commerce to the point that it is unmoving (such as the Obey stencils from New York), the work from Japan and Australia is stunning, and there is more of it here than in the book's predecessor. The images are lush and compelling in themselves, but they are equally significant in their selection." --Juliette Cezzar for Amazon.com

by Markus Mai, Arthur Remke Gestalten Verlag, 2003. 208pp.
"... An offspring of this scene, born out of tags and throw-ups, writing has become modern urban calligraphy. While the classic New York style of writing originated in typography, it in turn has left its mark on virtually all visual disciplines: strictly speaking the arrangement of space by outlines, writing has become an invaluable influence an inspiration, especially in the realm of illustration, logo design, motion graphics and architecture. Complemented by a number of essays, "Writing" (compiled by Berlin activists and designers Markus Mai and Arthur Remke) now surveys this appropriation of public space and examines the detailed fusion of analogue writing and digital design. ..." --book description
