This 10 x 40 metre long badgirl was brought to the light of day!
No other explanation necessary. I am pretty sure she speaks for herself…

THE EXCHANGE PROGRAM > has officially been up and running since 2005. Originally consisting
of 6 members, today there is an international cast of over 30 members worldwide. The concept behind
The Exchange program is for like minded graffiti artists to share and explore different concepts and ideas
through exchanging designs with one another. To be given the chance to reflect back on ones self through
the artistic eye of another is priceless. So much can and has been learned for those of us involved in this
project and we will continue to do so!
The release of THE EXCHANGE BOOK is a celebration of style documenting much of the previous
years of members art and design that has been produced through the concept of this great engine!
~THE EXCHANGE EXHIBITION ~
On the 9th of April this year , Common Ground gallery in Berlin/Germany held the official
book launch for the Exchange project. To compliment its release, a number of The Exchange
artists submitted works related to the project to be displayed in what turned out to be an
awesome show!

This was the first time ever that 7 of the 8 members of SUG had gathered together to rock fresh art.
And what better way to kick start their trip then carving up old Melbourne City! Time out from their
day to day lives ? Yes.. But the girls had an agenda, and that was to get serious on our walls.
And that is exactly what they did!

Why so serious?? After all its just paint on the wall...
It seems to be the unfortunate darker side of graffiti… That is ones own personal pursuit clashing with
another’s. OR more simply a healthy competitive nature becoming obscured and resulting in jealousy and/
or bitter rivalry. Some may say this is expected with in such an art-form where it becomes harder and
harder to stand out amongst the rest? And ultimately, most of us fell in love with graffiti for sheer impact
it makes ON society and amongst each of us involved… This being said, most of us have at one stage or
another had the experience with bumping heads or rubbing shoulders with someone the wrong way.
We all try and avoid it… but the reality is this shit just happens from time to time.
What is unnecessary is people jumping on bandwagons and fueling other peoples personal disputes via
media sources like the Internet. And whats the fucking point ? So people can feel they are then involved in
another writers personal world that in reality they will never be apart of..? That is just disappointing.
Now that the Internet exists there will never be a solution to this problem. We can only hope those
guilty of contributing absolutely nothing through sheer negativity will realize in time that this kick-ass
culture of ours suffers just that little bit more every time a haters fingers hit the key board.
This latest mural by Grater and myself is a timely reminder that sometimes we can forget the reasons
why we all started painting graffiti… When we think back – it was exciting, adventurous and above all…FUN!
And apart from professional. It should never be anything more.
