Aarhus abandoned train station is a street-art paradise!

It's been more than one year since I last visited the 'haunted' place. Although architecturally speaking, nothing dramatically changed, most of the (street)art works are transforming the place into an opened gallery, a paradise for those who want to do or practice street-art.


The artworks are changing constantly, some looking better than others, but the most important thing is keeping the flow. Most of the people who hang out here are skaters, graffers,  teenagers in general. Good people trying to have fun and make use of the free space... I haven't really seen people sleeping or doping there during the day, as most of the people I talked to told me they think it's happening.

     
What I did find were a lot of spray cans and graffitti drawings all over the place. It's a good place to practice without being closely observed.


This ramp was still good to use and the little pirate face looks like the symbol of the place.


I liked these two walls most: 



 Maybe this place should transform into a nice (more organized) hangout place for street art and alternative culture people. Or maybe its charm lies in the sweet chaos :)
