Canada / StreetartThe Canadian artist JADE BILODEAU from Montréal deals with geometric symmetry and at the same time with those forms found in nature. Her motifs often show plants, flowers or animals, but these are abstracted in graphic styles. Especially blossoms and the representation of their structure can often be found. She was and is very active in Montréal, but meanwhile also in other places around the world. We spoke to the creative artist in an interview about her art, how she started and where she wants to go.

Architecture / GermanyThe photos of selected subway stations in Dortmund were taken a few years ago and the focus in these images was on the symmetrical arrangement of the underground architecture and on its geometric brutality. You can attest to an artistic concept in some stations – just like the spray can works, but it is a visual and mathematical contrast. No freestyle, but the architectural interpretation of the linear, cold functionality of buildings. Still they are charming and definitly interesting creations in urban space.

![SWEDEN: Streetart Stockholm – Kulturkvarter Snösätra – Graffiti Wall Of Fame – […meanwhile demolished…]](https://vagabundler.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/sthlm-76-300x225.jpg)
Streetart / SwedenThe Kulturkvarter Snösätra with its Graffiti Wall of Fame was one of the greates open art galleries in Europe, unfortunately it has been torn down in September 2020, but here in our archive are a lot of photos of the great works on this former awesome colorful lost place. The streetart hot spot was located in the remote south of Stockholm in a disused industrial park near Rågsved. This building complex lay fallow for years and gradually fell apart. It was a small deserted ghost town that was avoided. But that should change completely. In 2014, a group was able to convince the landowners that certain walls can be painted. This started a transformation of this area into one of the largest graffiti exhibitions in Europe.

Japan / MusicToday we have some more insight into the Japanese music scene and here is an article about a cool record store in Osaka. I wrote already about the Drum & Bass events in the land of the rising sun. In that previous article is an interview with the UNSALTED founder and organisator Munetoshi Maruyama or just Maru. For recording that interview we needed a place to meet with Maru and DJ Fetus, they suggested the place G.R. Café Terrace. First I thought I would be just a small café or a bar. Actually it is, but as well much more. The place is the homebase of the labels Grind Records and Undergrind. There is a record store included, a lounge where you can get several cocktails and craft beers and as well delicious food. They have cloths and streetwear, magazines and dj equipment and a room where you can get a bit louder and use this dj equipment, make sounds and dance. And of course there are heaps of vinyls and records.

Ireland / StylistSometimes if you don´t like what’s available, you have to create something new by yourself. This can happen in many different areas of course, in this article it will be about fashion and clothing. The Dublin designer Ashley Byrne always wanted more color, more intense styles, more creativity, but the products you can get in the average stores are just too boring, mostly unified standards, mass production and without specialty. So Ashley started to create her own fantastic cloth and built up the label called AB Design.
