Montana Cans LOOKBOOK 2022 Edition #7
It's that time again to welcome the release of the Montana Cans Lookbook 2022 edition #7. There is no rewind button on life, making it all the more important to reflect on the year that was, and the things that happened during that period. The Montana-Cans Lookbook does just that and reflects on some of the highlights from the year prior. A moment to reflect on those things that may not have received as much shine as they deserved while being "in the moment".
The 2021/2022 period was a particularly unique period not only for Montana Cans but for the world as a whole. Mankind arrived at what we hope is the end of the Coronavirus pandemic, there was turbulence in many regions, and the global population started to come to terms with the new financial challenges of life. But apart from increasing prices and challenging health/social situations, there were also many positive moments that brought innovation, fun, color, and creativity back into our lives.
The Montana Cans collaborations continued with our many partners, artistic friends, and organizations within the creative world, including a vast array of amazing limited-edition cans, cool collectible products, and new innovations that make painting and creating even more enjoyable than before. Countless brave event organizers pushed forward with their dreams and their world-class events, with Montana Cans as partners on board regardless of the social and political hurdles put in place in the name of health and safety. And off the radar, the global graffiti community kept on creating and pushing our culture forward despite the challenges put in place around them.
Regardless of where you were in 2021/2022, steel, bricks, canvas, furniture, and even clothing all got a special creative touch that Montana Cans was proud to be part of. With this in mind, we present to you the Montana-Cans Lookbook 2022 Edition #7 for your enjoyment. Available here digitally and in limited amounts in print at selected Montana Cans partners and resellers.
Donaukanal – Bruder
Donaukanal – Bruder Jakob One of the fascinating aspects of Graffiti to us has always been its democratic element. Not in secluded white cubes, but within cityscapes, culture flourishes. Located in the heart of town, the Donaukanal invites flaneurs for a raincheck. Locals and tourists love this spot with its seemingly endless colorful walls for legal Graffiti. On top, the area offers busy nightlife, perfect conditions for jogging and cycling, or simply leisure time – basically anything except swimming is possible. “Vienna is a perfect city for a free lifestyle. It offers perfect conditions for painting because the whole town is different from other big capitals; everything is a bit slower and more relaxed. It’s easy to paint good spots and find your specialty where you can be at peace and do your own thing undisturbed.” Bruder Jakob 64 Street Report BAba und Foi Net!
Wiener Linien – Public Transit Big cities usually cater to audiences that are keen on Graffiti. Nice trains and especially unique subway systems make all the difference between a stopover or a must-see destination. Vienna has got it all – a wide variety of commuters, trams, S-trains, and subways provide a close net of transportation that moves with constant cadence. Five lines run on the U-Bahn, ten on the S-Trains. True beauties called U-Class (Silberpfeil!), V-Cars designed by Porsche (you might be familiar with the design if Oslo rings a bell?), U6 with its toaster, the nimble Wiesel (translating to “Weasel”), or our all-time favorite ET4020. The stations An extra tip, the tickets for Wiener Linien are pretty affordable, so your commute won’t break the bank provide plenty of space for art (The Schnitzel Counter! In “Factoids” by Ken Lum at Karlsplatz), as too does the rolling stock. For a more elaborate reality check, we recommend studying Schnellbahn by Astro.
