Artist line-up announcement from our friends, Nuart festival!, by Nuart Gallery on Aug 5, 2015 17:21:05 GMT 1, Nuart Festival has announced the line-up for its 15th Anniversary!
NUART FESTIVAL 2015 โ FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
Festival: 3 โ 5 September; Exhibition: 6 September - 11 October Celebrating its fifteenth anniversary, Nuart Festival - the worldโs leading celebration of street art - will take place on the first week of September, 2015. For the fifteenth year running, renowned artists from around the world will descend upon Stavanger, Norway with murals, installations and interventions popping up across the city. Tou Scene centre for contemporary arts, a former 19th century brewery, will host the festivalโs indoor exhibition. Nuart Plus, the festivalโs annual symposium of academic and industry debates, artist presentations and film screenings will take place at Scandic Stavanger City hotel from Thursday 3 โ Saturday 5 September. Here, key figures such as Evan Pricco (Juxtapoz), Jaime Rojo and Steven Harrington (Brooklyn Street Art) and critic and author Carlo McCormick will come together with artists and academics to delve into the cultureโs roots and reflect on its place within the wider contemporary art canon. The three day programme is open to everyone, free of charge, and central to Nuartโs efforts to encourage critical discourse around street art in an accessible and democratic way. Alongside the recurrent theme of Situationism, this yearโs festival will explore notions of play and the ludic tendencies within street art and urban culture. From Jamie Reid - pioneer of the punk visual aesthetic - to conceptual artist Harmen de Hoop, photographer Martha Cooper and abstract graffiti pioneer Futura, leading practitioners from across the spectrum of street art will demonstrate how they approach their craft within the subject of play. Nuartโs education programme - the largest street art education programme in the world - reaches out to over 2,600 children to teach them how to make their own artwork using techniques such as stencilling and wheatpasting. Devised in partnership with Den kulturelle skolesekken (a Government funded initiative for art and culture), the programme aims to inspire the next generation of street artists, thus ensuring the cultureโs sustainability.

Bordalo II (PT), Bortusk Leer (UK), Dolk (NO), Dotdotdot (NO), Ella & Pitr (FR), Ernest Zacharevic (LT), Futura (US), Harmen de Hoop (NL), Icy & Sot (IR), Isaac Cordal (ES), Jamie Reid (UK), Martha Cooper (US), Martin Whatson (NO), Outings Project (FR), Pejac (ES), Pixelpancho (IT)
