Athen's streetscape: May Wallism
Shiftazine has posted observations before about Athens and it’s renewal.
This city is a constant surprise and source of inspiration and delight.
And despite the financial hardships and extraordinary difficult situations, it still brings forth a visual langauge that is memorable.
The walls of this splendid city are full of ‘Wallisms’. They come in many styles.
Some of the ‘Wallisms’ are well-executed images, that are considered and crafted and beautiful.
Just love Athens!

Founded in January 2016 by artist Braddon
Snape, the Creator Incubator sprung from an increasing need for space for
artists
after establishments such as NAS and The Emporium were moved out of their respective properties.

“It’s been a process of evolution. There
was no grand business plan or anything like that.
There was the potential of the space and having someone give us the opportunity to use it how we wanted to,” he says.

The language of the odd
I know a clever, stylish, inventive man.
He has the ability to hear the language of the odd bits and pieces that inhabit our lives.
These are the strange but endearing objects, pieces of fabric, little drawings, etc.
that we simply cannot throw away because they speak to us.
that we simply cannot throw away because they speak to us.
We often leave them in a dark corner with other more recent
purchases placed in front of them. Or they are shoved into a drawer, where they wait patiently for their day in the
sun.
TR Keller has the gift to hear and intrepret all the whisperings and hummings of these
eclectic 'thingamagjigs' and assemble them in such a way that they
sing like a choir.
Visual music to our eyes.
And
he does it with great easy.

What a clever talented man. He
is always an inspiration.

The weight of creativity
Once it could said that Redfern Street in
inner Sydney was always a little on the thin side
for a place to take a coffee and have a chat with
friends or locals.
And then a shift occurred in the
hood.
An explosion of cafes, restaurants, and
wonderful new stores full of beautiful pre loved
things appeared.
The cafe COFFEE, TEA & ME opened in
2011, helped changed the sense of the hood for the good,
better, best.
The first inventive cafe furniture of
Coffe,Tea and Me, was a delight.
Interesting people
taking theircoffees, sitting on the most charming pre
loved, pre used objects that work very well _
An old wooden ironing board serves as a table for four, bicycle seats that have been placed on top of stools, kindergarten tables and chairs
all offer you a place to sit and watch the hustle and bustle of the street.

Now
one can find small tables made of old bathroom scales
anchored securely to metal legs.
Yet another charming, witty simple idea.
