#ViralVandalsTalks @MU_artspace Eindhoven, 17th June 2017

'This is where graffiti is living right now'

#ViralVandalTalks

17th June 20.00h at the Student Hotel

Thanks to social media, graffiti writers have gained an extra infinite public space that is being used extensively. With #ViralVandals MU Eindhoven presents an exhibition about the second life of graffiti. Going virtually viral replaces the street in the quest for even greater visibility. New forms of expression emerge and the DNA of the scene changes irreversibly.  Also, techniques like virtual and augmented reality are within reach, which can be used to add an extra visual layer to reality.

During #ViralVandalsTalks MU host Isolde Hallensleben will discuss the future of graffiti at the crossroad of the real and virtual world. Local and international movers and shakers from the scene will be our guests, with amongst others: RJ Rushmore (author Viral Art, Vandalog), Good Guy Boris (The Grifters), Matthieu Tremblin, and Mick La Rock.

#ViralVandalsTalks is a program by MU in collaboration EMOVES, Urban Culture Festival Eindhoven, June 16-17-18, 2017. 

When: 17 June, 20.00 hrs
Where: Student Hotel Eindhoven
Tickets: € 10,- (excl. service costs)

OPENING GRAFFITI HALL OF FAME IN GRONINGEN May 21st 2017

OPENING HALL OF FAME IN GRONINGEN May 21st 2017

Mick la Rock was a guest of honor at the grand opening of the brand new graffiti Hall of Fame in Groningen. Both her birth roots as well as her graffiti roots reside in this city. Mick is one of the graffiti artists / muralists who made Groningen famous in the graffiti scene back in the 80's and 90's.

Even though Aileen nowadays lives and works in Amsterdam: she loves her city and they love her back.

The grand opening of the graffiti hall of fame was ‘decorated’ with a graffiti jam: local graffiti artists creating their art on the spot. The new hall of fame is an intitiative of Urban House Groningen in collaboration with the Municipality of Groningen.

Mick was impressed by the type of wall she was asked to decorate: a brand new viaduct. She elaborates to the reporter of Dagblad van het Noorden.
