THE SCHIRN KUNSTHALLE FRANKFURT PRESENTS THE MULTIFACETED WORLD OF
BRAZILAIN GRAFFITI ART – MULTIPLE LOCATIONS IN THE CITY OF FRANKFURT
5 September – 27 October 2013
Onesto a.k.a. Alex Hornest’s works reflect spontaneous situational encounters with pedestrians.
Onesto inscribes the events that unfold in the microcosm of the city into just such places, thereby attracting
the critical attention of viewers to political or social issues. His work in Frankfurt will appear on two buildings
on Neue Mainzer Straße 57 and 59 and one train.

September 2013, beginning at 7 p.m., DJ Daniel Haaksmann will be playing a programme of hiphop music from

the graffiti paintings at the Schirn. The programme of related exhibition events also includes a
guided tour conducted by Julie Marcelino, a leading Brazilian scholar in the field of
communications, on Thursday, 17 September 2013 (meeting point in the rotunda); a travel report
