The Golden House
Description
In 2017 the artist Boran Burchardt gilded a house wall in Veddel with leaf-gold to draw attention to the socially disadvantaged district. The Veddel is a trafitional working-class neighbourhood. The red brick facades are wide spread in many districts in Hamburg. There were plenty of critical voices regarding the costs (85,000 € paid by the culture ministry of Hamburg from the title Art in Public Spaces). The residents also mentioned: We are diverse and colorful. Not just plain gold.

My interest in street art started many years ago while traveling and recognising artworks e.g. from ROA and Obey in different cities. SAC is a good support to find interesting places. I would like to thank SAC by sharing a few places with all of you in my city, Hamburg.
We don't have so many large murals by well-known artists yet. Nevertheless, there is a lot to discover. Even small artworks can put a smile on our faces, or make us think.
