On the 28th of January 2012, the Forum Kunst Rottweil unveiled Counterparts, an exhibition featuring works by the artists Hendrik ‘ecb’ Beikirch (DE/(new website!) and Luciano Calderon (CH/AR), and the photographer Nils Müller (DE). Through collaborative dialogue, the three created new works that provide a unique interpretation of graffiti artists and their reception by the public. The exhibition was curated by Robert Hak and Martin Schulze.

“…there was always so many MOLOTOW™ cans lying around and I just became so used to seeing them because that’s all everyone used. So as a tribute so to speak, I made my version of a MOLOTOW™ PREMIUM. can.”
