Special
An interview with the boys and girls of Klub 7
After some trouble with illegal painting on
moving targets, a crew from Halle/Saale took on
another name; Since there were seven members finding
a name was easy, they called themselves Klub 7.
Seven years later the crew occupation has changed
and the number seven has become more abstract,
like a code.
Who is in the Crew nowadays?
“Dani, Okay, Me, Low, Cash7 and Tower from Berlin.”
How did you start with graffiti/streetart?
“Most of us began doing graffiti in ‘93. The usual: at
first we saw New York magazines, started writing in
notebooks at school, began a Blackbook, from first tags
to the first bombings, Hall of Fame pieces and loose it
went. In 1999-04 came new technologies and tools:
stencils, brush, latexroller, chalk, acryl, stickers, posters
etc. That development was somewhat different for
each one of us. But the reason it all began with graffiti
is to a make a visual urban Sign-bombardment of the
public space. The street as a medium is something
we never take in doubt. Today the street is a large,
inspiring playground for us, our studio in which we
publish our painted pictures and pasted collages.“
“Me: On the street an action is always followed
by a reaction. One can playfully communicate.“
“There we are not there outside the other, that
play with one, it would become boring quickly.
Nevertheless you have a responsibility of that,
what you make out there. Sometimes you must act
sensitive, sometimes furious, otherwise the effect is lost.“
How important is it for you to be in a Crew, how does
it influence your work?
