Summerfestivals - Beachstreet and Boombarstick

This July two Festivals happen that deal with Muralism. The Boombarstick Festival in Croatia brings a selection of artists to a small town in Croatia , who realize Murals, installation and exhibition stuff there. The BeachStreetFestival uses another way. They invite everybody to come to an isle to paint in an abandoned Hotel (photo above). The Festival entrance is free. Sounds kind of open source. You only need to pay for the travel expands and food i guess. Sounds Hippie and funny ;)

Two collaborations - same colors

Klub7 - a group now based in Berlin - did this work last Summer in their hometown Halle/Saale for All you can paint Festival The second collaborative mural i like to show is by CHU, TEC & P3DRO from Buenos Aires in Barracas - Buenos Aires/ Argentina during Meeting of Styles 2012. It's kind of funny to see two works that have a distance to each other of at least 11500km done in same color scheme. I like both ;)

Scanning for threats

While i saw recently a strong usage on this blog from the U.S.A. i thought this is a perfect work i should publish on this blog. "Scanning for threats" is a work by austrian artist Oliver Hölzl done in Mannheim with the help of stoffwechselgallery. Hölzl sprayed keywords which the U.S. Department of Homeland Security used for checking Internet content to find terroristic and other dangers. You can find more pictures of the work here

JBAK for City Bilder

A few weeks ago the american artist collective JBAK was invited to paint a mural for CityBilder in Dresden. During the process of the wall a nice stop motion footage of the development of the wall was made. I don't like the music that much, but the pictures are great to understand how JBAK work together. Check out their blog for recent works.
