The Ghostvillage Project

Geil! Da hätte ich auch gerne mal die eine oder andere Minute verbracht:

The Ghostvillage Project was created over 3 days on the west coast of Scotland. 6 artists – Timid, Remi/Rough, System, Stormie Mills, Juice 126, Derm – were given free reign to paint in an abandoned 1970s village. Working together on huge collaborative walls and individually in hidden nooks and crannies all over the site the artists realised long held dreams and were inspired by the bleakness and remoteness of the site. Drawing on the history of the village the artists‘ stated intent on completion of the project was to populate the ghostvillage with the art and characters that it deserved.

Was man mit 50$ für Kreide so alles anstellen kann…

50$ für StraßenkreideSchöne Ideen erzeugen schöne Resultate… So oder so ähnlich könnte man diese Aktion vom woostercollective bezeichnen.

Die beiden Betreiber vom erfolgreichsten Streetart-Blog aus New York haben vor einiger Zeit die folgende Frage bei Facebook gestellt:

„If I gave you $50 today, with the condition that you had to spend it on „art“, what would you do with it?“

Unter einer Menge von Antworten befand sich wohl auch die Antwort von „Che“… Er wollte für die 50$ Straßenkreide kaufen und diese dann an Kinder im Park verteilen. Was dabei herausgekommen ist, kann man sich bei Che auf der Flickr-Seite anschauen.

Meine Meinung: echt ne tolle Sache! Hat jemand Lust das mal in Berlin auszuprobieren? Dann bitte melden 🙂

“The most daring piece of public art ever commissioned in the UK, Turning the Place Over is artist Richard Wilson’s most radical intervention into architecture to date, turning a building in Liverpool’s city centre literally inside out. One of Wilson’s very rare temporary works, Turning the Place Over colonises Cross Keys House, Moorfields. It is on a light sensor and will run during daylight hours.

just awesome – JR and african slums

Today, after more than a year of planning, 2000 square meters of rooftops have been covered with photos of the eyes and faces of the women of Kibera. The material used is water resistant so that the photo itself will protect the fragile houses in the heavy rain season. The train that passes on this line through Kibera at least twice a day has also been covered with eyes from the women that live below it. With the eyes on the train, the bottom half of the their faces have be pasted on corrugated sheets on the slope that leads down from the tracks to the rooftops. The idea being that for the split second the train passes, their eyes will match their smiles and their faces will be complete.

einfach genial!
