Its temporal and spatial cross-linking of different forms of street art make the festival an ultimate meeting point for the international street art scene. The creative collective getting-up was responsible for the organizing different urban art projects.

Street art encompasses a huge variety of art forms: from cabaret to street music, from carnival costume art to street dance – the range of attention-grabbing art performances on the street is infinite. Stenciled images, sculptures, posters and stickers all also belong to this world – as does graffiti art.

butterfly blossoms – wallpainting at library

Mural at the Bücherhalle library in Hamburg’s Bramfeld district

Following their design of the Bücherhalle library’s prominently positioned mural at Hühnerposten near Hamburg’s main station, the artistic collective getting-up was commissioned to redesign the Bücherhalle library in Bramfeld.

The image for this wall symbolizes a bridging of gaps. Its purpose was to remind people of Bramfeld’s extensive history and geography and to accentuate the district’s future-oriented outlook.

The colour yellow stands for gorse, an agricultural crop of historical significance to the region. This colour is the image’s leitmotiv; the image’s further elements thus take a more background role. This gives rise to contrasts and artistic contradictions that create an almost tangible artwork featuring “Butterfly blossoms”, key historical facts and poetic quotes. Observers are drawn in by what they see, actively seeking to find out more. The intertwined styles and written elements symbolize the ideas of exchange, communication, variety and dynamism, ideas that characterize Bramfeld, as a modern city district.

“Repeat” – Street Art by getting-up at the STAMP festival Hamburg.
As part of the international festival of street art in Hamburg, the artistic collective getting-up implemented a range of different projects involving the artistic rendering of public spaces. One of these was the mural “Repeat”.The task they set themselves was the creative manipulation of the entrance to an underground car park in the Neue Große Bergstraße in Hamburg Altona. The dark grey of the stone and concrete was painted a friendly yellow. The concept for the design by DAIM, TASEK, Stohead and RKT was based on the classic idea of return in the context of urban environments: the typical stop and go of passing vehicles, the on and off of traffic lights and the toing and froing of hurried pedestrians. The artists drew on these repetitive aspects of urban life to create a highly impressive work of street art.

Jamliner – 10 years

getting-up — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 12:29:57 +0000

10th anniversary of Hamburg’s musical bus line

Ten years ago the ambitious Jamliner project was launched in Hamburg. The project involved the transformation of a former service bus into a “travelling music school”, the aim of which was the promotion of young people’s interest in music. Over the course of these ten years, a number of busses have undergone transformation in the interest of music – all of them designed by getting-up. Since 2010, toy-size versions of both currently operating Jamliners can be seen in Hamburg’s Miniaturwunderland model railways museum.

And it was here that the successful youth project celebrated its 10th anniversary in October 2010. The evening was moderated by Reinhold Beckmann and featured a concert by the Jamliner band “Les Kadtts”. During the course of the evening, information was also provided as regards the project’s educational concept and the positive effects of music.
The Jamliner project was initiated by the Staatliche Musikschule Hamburg (State Youth Music College) and the MusikSchulVerein e.V., the college’s sponsorship association. The aim of this youth promotion project was to encourage young people’s interest in music and, with this “travelling music school”, offer them a place for creative leisure activities.

Graffiti and Street-Art WorkCamp for Hamburg-St. Pauli
2010 marked the third anniversary of the successful graffiti workshop series Stylekickz.

In 2010, the “Staerken vor Ort” youth support project subsidized by the European Union enabled getting-up to successfully continue its work in the field of youth support in Hamburg. The work camp for graffiti and street art involved lessons on the history of graffiti. Its young participants were also given the opportunity to, under professional supervision, realize their own creative ideas with the spray can.

Jamliner III

the designing of Hamburg’s musical bus line

The first Jamliner was painted by getting-up in 2000. This former public transport bus served as a “travelling music school” for ten years and during this time contributed toward the promotion of young people’s interest in music. In 2010 the bus was replaced by a new one – again designed by getting-up.

The collective’s third project for the social youth project Jamliner was influenced by the first bus launched in 2000. It was painted in a range of blue-tones and featured a variety of characters. The Jamliner lettering was centrally and eye-catchingly positioned on both sides of the bus’ body.

The Jamliner project was initiated by the Staatliche Musikschule Hamburg (State Youth Music College) and the MusikSchulVerein e.V., the college’s sponsorship association. The aim of this youth promotion project was to encourage young people’s interest in music and, with this “travelling music school”, offer them a place for creative leisure activities.
