Sachbeschädigung in Jenbach (Polizei.gv.at)

Presseaussendung der Polizei Tirol
In der Nacht zum 1. Februar 2026 besprühten zwei zunächst unbekannte Täter gegen 01:20 Uhr die Wände einer öffentlichen Toilettenanlage in Jenbach. Ein Passant meldete dies einer in der Nähe befindlichen Polizeistreife, die umgehend zum Tatort fuhr und dort die beiden Personen auf frischer Tat antreffen konnten. Die beiden Männer flüchteten sofort zu Fuß, konnten jedoch kurze Zeit später durch die Polizeibeamten angehalten und festgenommen werden. Die beiden Deutschen im Alter von 23 und 25 Jahren zeigten sich unkooperativ und verweigerten jegliche Angaben zum Sachverhalt. Nach Abschluss der Ermittlungen und Sicherstellung der Farbdosen wurde die Festnahme wieder aufgehoben. Die beiden Männer werden auf freiem Fuß an die Staatsanwaltschaft Innsbruck angezeigt.

Shoe’s Black Book − Graffiti in the 1980s by Niels Shoe Meulman offers a window into an artist’s formative years. Before the galleries, the recognition, his development as a typographer and founding the Calligraffiti art movement, there was this: a worn and relentless black book filled with tags, pieces and outlines.

Between 1985 and 1987, Niels Shoe Meulman (Amsterdam, 1967) documented his growth from wide-eyed newcomer to an artist who has fully developed his own style.

More than just a sketchbook, this black book is a testament to when Shoe tagged along with New York artists like Rammellzee, Dondi White and Keith Haring. It’s a record of learning: part diary, part playground, part testing ground. Here is a facsimile of a book that was stolen and mysteriously returned. But it’s also adorned: Shoe’s additional notes and sharp recollections bring the era into focus.

Each page captures graffiti knowledge, passed down mouth-to-mouth and hand-to-hand. Shoe’s Black Book is both document and artefact: immediate, unpolished, authentic. While other books record a culture, this one helped build it.

Note: Hand signed with a Shoe tag, which forms an integral part of the typographic cover design.
