The artistic crew 3Steps, who is living and working in Giessen and Wetzlar, will assume control of the organization and artistic direction.

3Steps (»Three Steps Ahead«) are the three contemporary graffiti artists Kai Krieger alias SiveOne, Uwe Krieger alias Doc Nova and Joachim Pitt alias Mr. Flash from Giessen, which are artistically active together since 1998. Growing up in Giessen, the three went to school together and quickly discovered their passion for painting and large-size compositions. It first began as a creative leisure activity, but turned more and more into precise forms and structures and developed to an essential element of their life.

In their collective works the numerous interests and preferences of the three artists melt to one creation. In this part the detailed and coordinated graffiti writings, so-called styles, interact with objective and figurative motives, which currently broach the issue of urban landscapes and cities and their citizens.

Art projects and artwork of the three artists can be found throughout Europe and the United States. Stations were Wiesbaden and Munich (Germany), Brighton and London (England), Thessaloniki (Greece), Basel and Zurich (Switzerland), Vlissingen (Holland), Antwerp (Belgium), Venice (Italy) and New York City and Los Angeles (USA).

Exhibitions of canvases and photographs took place in Giessen, Wiesbaden, Aachen, Düsseldorf, Darmstadt, New Jersey (USA) and Thessaloniki (Greece).
